Bought a more powerful handheld vacuum to use for quick vacuum in the house and also for vacuuming the car.

Hope it does the job, cause from my limited experience even the not-so-bottom-of the barrel handheld vacuums won't do for a car.

i got a 12v charging socket powered one (110w), that seems to do pretty nicely for my car. it seems to be able to get the dust out of the carpets decently enough.

although i do take it to a proper detailer every other month or so, to get the real gunk out with their powerful vac and compressed air lines.

This has the highest battery I can find with a 22v(140w) battery with a upto 30 min runtime, the lowest i've found was 10v and then the 12v cig powered one which isn't ideal.

It doesn't get dirty dirty, but I kind of neglect cleaning the interior for months and it just ends up with a lot picked up tiny stone chips and dirt from stepping in and out of the car lol.

Ordered just in case:

 

[avidgamer121]

my brother got me free 8gb crucial from his office friend finally, it was delayed for more than a week and now i will have to wait till tomorrow to get it installed.

 

[Deleted member 229121]

Bare-Naked case for the S24 (Smoke).
The $12 I got on Amazon is fine enough for daily use, but I like as little bulk possible when I got out / dress up.

 

[AleXXX666]

these days phones take such good pics that i rarely get my DSLR out. phone is enough for social media stuff easily.

then try to get good enough AF from phones. A switch from Redmi Note 12 Pro to S23 was good for me, but even with that I need to use PRO VIDEO mode to get what I want - controllable focus, not crazy jumping focus and getting blurry video from moving scenes lol. Picture quality also dramatically changed to good one lol. Yes, cheapo phone is enough for you Starbucks shot, but if you are into beauty.. then good phone or good discrete camera lol...

 

[kurosagi01]

I've recently bought a Sony Xperia 5 V just before Xmas, purely because my pixel 6 battery went bad after 2 years of use.
The 5V though has a load of camera customisation options for you to tinker.
As far as mainstream branded phones, I've only seen Sony offering it still.

And more toys to play with!! Today I present more Redragon items!



And here's some colour action!


Christmas Tree mode!! I really liked this!

Also got a mouse! A Ranger Basic(Redragon's way of saying wired).

I still like my Shiva model more(fit's in my huge hand better), but this one is still very nice and will be great as a spare.

Now for those wondering why I bought an 80% keyboard when I've stated that I like the 10key, I was talked into it by a friend who has full size model and let use it for a few minutes. Unfortunately, Redragon doesn't make a full size keyboard in this colour scheme. I liked the Brown switches enough that I choose to try it. Not having the 10key is annoying me, but I am surprised how quickly I'm getting used to it. The Low profile nature of the design coupled with the Brown(quieter) switch are turning out to be quite pleasing. I finally found a mechanical keyboard I like. On an upside, the extra space not used make more room for mousing movements on the desk, so I can see what everyone has been talking about.

EDIT:
Having had a chance to use the 2.4ghz wireless aspect of this keyboard, I kinda like it. The latency is nonexistent. and the range is impressive. I walked to the opposite side of the house and it was still registering keystrokes without missing a beat. I'm not often impressed, but this really is.

@Redragon
I'm liking this keyboard, but please consider doing the full size version in this colour scheme! Also, media control keys NOT on the f-keys, a-la the K550 model.

Also, for those wondering why I resized the photo's to 1280pixels, it was out of respect for TPU's servers and page loads. Sorry if they don't look that good.

Potato Vision approved for content and brown switch bias.

 

[evanevanevan]

Went into my local(-ish) Micro Center for some thermal paste, left with this - a Keychron K3 Pro, open box clearance. Gateron(?) brown switches.

I also have a Logitech G610, which I used for about 3 years in college. But, I never really came to like it a whole lot. I could type quickly on it, but nothing close to what I could do on my laptop keyboard. It didn't help that the G610 is LOUD, and I felt bad using it with anyone in the same room. The G610 has been collecting dust for a couple years now, with a plain ol' Lenovo OEM keyboard taking its place.

With the way my desk is laid out, the width of a tenkey makes for some very awkward ergonomics. I use home/end extensively, but I don't want a tenkey, and I want a good keyboard, but I don't want a loud keyboard, and I tend to like short-travel keys, but not too short, and I don't want to bankrupt myself either. Didn't expect Micro Center to thread that needle, but hey! New keyboard!

I'm liking this keyboard(Horus Pro TKL Silver & White), but please consider doing the full size very in this colour scheme please!

yay more "volume" rollers on keyboards!! I would never buy a keyboard without one... so BLOODY convenient!! My first one ever was a Logitech G610 and so on... ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN!

nice colour contrast with that silver brushed metal (or is it?) and white caps. Gives the lighting effect some added layer of vibrancy!

Please explain..

Right? I never buy a keyboard without volume controls anymore!

EDIT:
I've had a chance to play around with the 2.4ghz wireless aspect of that new keyboard. See edit above.

 

[Deleted member 229121]

Please explain..

Lol just in jest regarding the lower resolution you mentioned.

You don't have to blurry the serial number because you cannot look it up anyway only the model number xD

redragon makes excellent VFM products, i love my redragon mouse which is excellent for it's price and accuracy is commendable too. Using it for 3-4 years now and still going strong.

i have an S22 which has the same sensor as you S23. But yeah, i did mention its good only for normal social media stuff. cant take pics like the one in my display pic on a phone lmao.

installed the Alpine speakers into my front doors. Never done something like this before but all those days of modding PC cases has paid off. Was surprisingly easy and straight forward (other than figuring out the phase of left and right lol). That derrrr is the new frequency response curve after some tweaking. Pretty dang good decent me thinks.

yes i did tighten the screws down. I got a bosch professional cordless drill/driver recently and it helped make everything better. i love it.

 

[GerKNG]

4x Arctic P14 and 4x P12 for my O11 Air Mini.
still impressed that a 5 pack is cheaper than one noctua fan.

 

[Vayra86]

i got a 12v charging socket powered one (110w), that seems to do pretty nicely for my car. it seems to be able to get the dust out of the carpets decently enough.

although i do take it to a proper detailer every other month or so, to get the real gunk out with their powerful vac and compressed air lines.

Yeah car interiors need excessive force lol

Dust out of carpets with regular vacuuming... you might think you removed something. And then you remove your footrest piece of carpet, smack it against a wall and you're in a local dust storm

i use rubber mats. just fold them in from the corners, dust em outside, and then wash them with a scrubber lol.
i usually commute on my motorcycle so it usually stays fresh other than those tiny annoying rocks that transfer from your shoes.

cabin air filter though... i need an n95 mask to dust that shit out
