Yeah, I'm aware that my posts are abrasive at times. So please accept my apologies for past and future brashness.

Ah, you did get one! Very nice! Did you cancel the 1TB? If not, get a USB to NVMe enclosure and use it for backups and file transfers.
Here's mine;
View attachment 355484
It's only got a 256GB drive in it, but that's all I need.

Ive got the 1TB with me here and Im not sending it back. That will still be used as an OS drive. The 2TB will be added to the new build to go along with an already existing 2TB SN770.... for uniformity.

Im quite a collector of these drives.

::EDIT::

Its also confusing how they got the previous 1TB out on next day shipping (free delivery) when this 2TB hasnt even been despatched yet. 1TB ordered on the 15th arrived on the 17th. 2TB ordered on the 16th is still not even dispatched. Amazon RNG. Either the machine is broken down or they've fired all their staff.

Im in no rush for it anyway. I'll always take the free shipping option because that saves me around £5 or 6

New one..

(old one faulty after 3 years, suddenly kept beeping last week, not a battery/power/dust problem)

The sensor does wear out, but should last around a decade.

Shrek · Jul 19, 2024

I have a 40-year-old mains unit based on Americium that started beeping, in that case it was the main capacitor, which I replaced.

This Logitech K400 to replace the tiny no-name keyboard w/touchpad I normally use for my htpc.

It's flimsy, and made from shitty plastic but I won't be using it much anyway.

Besides 230V this new one has a built-in battery too, that should last 10 years.
So no more replacing batteries.

Got my 1TB Z Fold 6 + Itskin Magsafe case, chose this case as I can use it with the ESR magnetic ring stand (2nd pic)

Wifi AX upgrade, warm deal on Prime Day:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096K9SVCT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The original software is supposed to be shitty. I bought it because it can run openwrt.

Apparently it works with DD-WRT as well.
Decent SoC, but sadly the WiFi radios are gimped, as that platform is capable of higher speeds. It seems like it can only do an 80 MHz wide channels instead of 160 MHz on the 5 GHz band.
Otherwise it looks decent, especially if you paid $80 or less for it.

I had one when I was in middle school, lost it and so I decided I wanted another one in my tiny watch collection.

About the same hight and new case is about 2inch longer, but not as deep as old case, two reason for the new case is top ventilation, GPU can move around more with Cooler Master Vertical kit V3, also two 140 at bottom, will help alot , have to wait till tomorrow to move everything to new case.

Dr. Dro · Jul 19, 2024

Scored two BNIB intellimice classics in the cheap, boxes a little banged up but who cares? these are a 2017 rerun on the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 with the Bluetrack sensor. Supremely comfortable

I bought a K400 in late 2013 to use with my HTPC. I wanted something I could use from the couch with built-in mouse ability. It's still going strong ten and a half years later; the only issue is when it gets buried or wanders off to the kid's room "on accident". :laugh:

I had a watch collection when I was a teen.

Turns out my dog liked the taste of leather wristbands and one day... no more watch collection.

My condolences, as an Italian-American I mourn the loss of your man bling.
Perhaps metal or rubber bands then if you still have pets.

My fancy pants watch is a Tissot, but it's about 9 years old now and a bit dated.
What I'd like to get down the road (because it's way too expensive now) is a Tag Heuer Carrera:

Hilariously this gate all around SoC with a single A78 core and some e cores has faster single thread than my smartphone.

Good specs though.

3000 nit display is what makes these finally usable IMO.
