Not sure this counts as a tech purchase, but my bread machine with a bottom based bearing was driving me nuts, so I got a dough making machine with bearing at the top; matt black was a definite plus.

It's technology that makes cooking easier so it should :laugh:

Got myself another bike, one you probably have never heard of, A Bird Aeris 1.5, they are English. 150mm rear and 160mm Yari forks on the front, Hope x2 rear brake and hope mono m4 front.

Saw that the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition was going for cheap(er) so I snagged it. My G703 is awesome, but battery life is becoming shorter and shorter...

Not a purchase (yet), but I registered my interest in owning a thing.

Apparently it is only gonna cost £300-£350 too, these will go like hot cakes

I am aware, and that is very reasonable for a "studio quality" (or better!) item.

Picked up at ASUS z370 mb and 8600k from ebay. Also ordered a cpu block for it, some extra tubing, a 360mm rad and some fittings from PPCS.com. Took a half day on Friday as the bulk of it should arrive Friday.

Ill post pics then. I don't know how this happened, but as soon as the thoughts of custom h2o builds starting coming back, I just couldn't resist.

But some of you might remember when I posted this bad girl in this thread:

Thought about the electric unicycle.. but I like life..

I had no idea that a Segway could go off-roading.

That's Winnipeg roads for you.

Not really a purchase:

It came with the new phone plan. Not complaining, even if I was already on a Pixel 6.

How many extra did you chock up spinning the wheels in snow. Nothing like a 5 km trip that adds 15 to the odometer.

Also, I'm very impressed with its current state.

@crazyeyesreaper between your review and toms hardware review of this cooler, I couldn't pass on $59 top tier level of cooling. my MSI C360 will be used until it craps out on me, but this will be my backup cooler, I am going to seal it in an air tight container for long term storage, should be fine.

Lol no it will throw you off if the wheels spin too much. I can only ride it with white asphalt

Lol no the building I work in was built in 1903, it was an ammunition factory for WW1, and part of WW2.. pretty neat.. but anyways the parking lot is a bombed out dirt road

Awaiting delivery on a couple of stuff I'd ordered:
1. Logitech G915 w/l Full-sixed KB
2. R7 5700X3D (to replace my R9 5900X in main rig, the 5900X will replace the 3900X in my 2nd rig)

I figured the 5700X3D would be a more worthwhile buy as it's much cheaper than 5800X3D and performs within a single digit percentage less than the 5800X3D.

Will post pics when I get 'em....in about a week's time.

Nvidia stock.

Maybe in ten years when AI rules us all, I will cash out, and I too will go to silicon valley as Jensen does below.

Picked up one of those Chinese mutant cpu's for my media pc, QQLT 9th Gen 6C/12T Unlocked ~$65Cad . Basically something like an i7 9750H but overclockable.

It works great so far, just used CoffeeTime to modify the bios. I'm able to run the memory at a normal 3200 CL14 which is nice, most of these will stop around 2666-2800.

Been heavily into RC vehicles for the last year or so. Actually quit my job in commercial waterworks and got hired on at a local hobby store. Could not be happier! 2 months in I transitioned to Assistant Manager. Get to work on all sorts of things, enjoy my day, not stress, and still pay all my bills and enjoy life!

This little truck started out as a bone stock Traxxas TRX-4 1979 Bronco and then I made it actually crawl well. :roll:

https://www.tiktok.com/@rethcire and @T0bimaru on YouTube if you want to see it crawl stuff.

I'm almost a year into doing the same thing. I resigned from a welding career to learn more about radio systems. Pretty cool how life and work can balance out and compliment each other. Congrats!

My latest tech purchase is a RTX 2060. I was gonna go for a 2070 super ftw ultra, but decided it is overkill for my decade old i3 system.
