That looks good. Now you can make different profiles for the various games and/or programs.

I was using Aida64 onscreen all the time, but this is neater and is useful for other stuff, had to buy pro for a year though.

I bought the M650 on a whim a week ago.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how nice it is to use. The scroll wheel is like a normal scroll wheel when scrolling slowly, but there is also an ability to flick for a fast scroll. Quiet main button clicks are plus as well.
The bigger "L" version of the mouse probably would've been a more appropriate size for my hand, but the fault is mine for misjudging the size.

Yup, thats why I kept it.. hoping I could get it fixed one day..

Like all of my other Raptor 150s, this one clicks pretty hard.

Head smash smash smash :(
I used to have one of those drives as well...........made XP boot noticeably faster though.

do these count as tech? (iridium plugs)

Hellz yeah.

When you start grouping them together in raid, they can get pretty loud lol. 4 of them in unison is quite impressive, and puts any coffee maker to shame :D

Just a little update on the
X-power blower I picked up a while back. I finally had reason to use it on my laptop. Grandkids are visiting and have been hardcore gaming on it while wrapped up in their fluffy blankets. So of course it caused the fan to start ramping up full blast due to it getting clogged up. Haha! Time to bust out the new toy. But...I was not prepared for the hurricane this thing blasted! Blew papers all over my office...from across the friggin room!!! Took ohhh half a sec to clean out the old laptop.
So yeah! If your looking for a monster pc cleaner
X-powers gotcha covered ;)

A whole new setup. I haven’t played a new game since TW3, mostly as time but also RDR2 doesn’t work on this setup.

I’m going to dedicate a few hours a week to game time and besides Red Dead and star field and some Halo what have I missed in the last few years.

Edit: this feature is cool when you can't see the rev limiter and/or gear

Also, there's a tiny led spot on top of the steering wheel that changes color when you reach the rev limit.

Decided to try and use my Audio Technica ATH-40X again with velour earpad replacements.
Really liked them on my playstation pulse, so hopefully these pads will be equally as comfortable to wear for few hours of gaming and music.

Went for the 4 nose myself; since they last so much longer, anti-seize grease on the threads is important

:D these are my daily drivers. i have been rocking ath-40x ever since i built my new rig. my senn hd58x are in closet, i like to rotate between a few headpones. i have sony leather 1000 earpads on mine, they are giant plush earpads, i wouldn't recommend them, they are a pain to install, but they are comfy and sound good.

Got these Bowers and wilkins P7 headphones today for £40, I know they are a few years old, but are a pretty sweet buy. They are very well made. I just need to get a better quality cable for them.

well electronic electric : all the same to me ... tech is tech


even pins tech ...
20230816_125240.jpg

what? .... a floppy pins of the game that got out 2 days before my 12th anniversary on '93 is not tech'ish enough?


1. when you fluff up an order you change the order before the shipping ... except ... well even tho the cancelling was successful they still sent me the cancelled item (and did not ask for return when i talked to the customer service), oh, well i will hang it on my wall ... i wanted it in red with standard silvery bolts ...
20230816_211920.jpg20230816_211924.jpg20230816_212358.jpg20230816_212404.jpg
VXM and DECKAS oval chainring 38T (96BCD for the VXM and 104BCD for the DECKAS ) price of the 2 should have been 15.50chf if got both for the price of the DECKAS : 7.75chf (if i did go local and took an Absolute Black a 104BCD would have been 79.90chf minimal price ) neither of them feel subpar to the factory chainring on my bike.

2. i fluffed up again on the bolts ... bah, 2ish chf per 4 is not an issue (aluminium from Bucklos)
20230816_212040.jpg
i will use the reds ...

why a fluff?
because 3. i ordered a new crankset in 104BCD (point to fluff 1. ) and it did include bolts (steel one ... but, not red... so i am fine :laugh: )
20230816_212121.jpg20230816_212127.jpg20230816_212136.jpg
bloody sturdy and 17ish chf compared to a 200+ SRAM is .... odd (still better than the factory crank :laugh: )

4. crank extractor on the cheap... as long as it does the job: no complain), pedals wrench and sloted bolt wrench
20230816_212538.jpg20230816_212612.jpg20230816_212623.jpg

5. quick release seatpost is a plague ... (don't want to ride my bike while some *censored* stoll my seatpost ....) although i think i took the wrong size (31.8 versus 34.9), bah, if so... i will order the bigger one next time :laugh: )
20230816_212704.jpg20230816_212710.jpg


and a stealth bell ... because, why not ...

yep, finally took the Q11 ... but as i mentioned in the quick-look
it's 2 time the price mentioned :laugh:

the KA1 was good but for desktop use, a bit lacking ... and dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 is something i like (no MQA! yay! )

The fan blades have the opposite profile to normal, so they can be used as intakes without showing the "ugly" motor mount side.

Since I was asked I will post it here, for a change I did not spend on my PC and I don't plan to spend on it anymore in 2023. 'What I currently have is perfectly enough for my use case atm'
I play a lot less nowadays than normally so I thought it would be about time to replace my 20-21 years old damaged bike that I've been using since late elementary school days. 'it was a 26" full suspension bike and since I'm not a big/heavy dude I could get away with it even now as a 34 years old:laugh:'
This one is 27,5 and I can defo feel the difference, I will need to get used to it.

Use case wont be anything heavy so it shouldn't break, mainly just to get around my mostly flat town like shopping and visiting grand parents and very rarely go off road a little when I feel like it but that much it can handle under my weight. 'around 67kg/150 lbs currently'
Its a fairly basic thing but this is all I could spend on it, still a solid upgrade over the old thing I had which was getting a bit difficult to drive around lately and well I'm not getting younger either. :laugh:

The kind of cringe decals can be ignored, I just liked the color theme and I'm not from an English based country anyway so nobody cares + I can change them any time if I want to.
Been biking around in the past hours and it feels pretty good in general, theres still some things I will need to tweak but it doesn't seem to have any serious issues. 'for my specific use case at least'

I might replace/buy a thing or two for it later but I rather not go too deep into that rabbit hole else it ends up being a money pit just like my PC in the past 1-2 years.:oops: 'front/back fenders are already on the way and some stuff I will move from my old bike like my front+back led lights'

It's already a Super Bike !
It's more than enough for a town cruising, little trail.
