What's your latest tech purchase?

[PLAfiller]

Got the new IKEA 30W USB-C charger, this thing.....has weight to it.....I mean I also have from Aliexpress and I can tell a difference. Dirty cheap at €7,16. Their dual-C charger suffers from the same issues though: can't charge two items at once or so I read. That's why I bought two single one's. The cables on the other side: only difference between the two I got is the braiding. No wattage written on them sadly. Only their 100W is proudly marked. I am not sure how much they supoport.

Typing on my new Lenovo Pad P11, I just bought an iPad and case for my grandson. He loves it.

A couple 16 GB Optane drives. At $5 a pop I couldn't resist.

Will serve in USB housing as fast USB stick replacements, maybe as drives for routers or other small Linux/FreeBSD installs.

I sold one SSD (HyperX Savage 120GB) to my friend in 2016, now I bought that back for 5EUR.

Once again I ran out of PSUs and had to scavenge my main rigs Seasonic unit (Ill get another to replace it).
Sooo, that of course gave me the excuse to get this nice shiny FSP Hydro TI Pro 1000 hehe, that Ive been pining over forever.
Also pondered picking up a 7800x3d, MB and ddr5 (yeah, yeah, I'm bored with my rig)while I was at it but figured that wouldn't be my wisest purchase ATM. Instead I settled for a cheap MSI z790 Tomahawk wifi and a set of Gskill ddr5 6400 z5 rgb 2x16s to tide me over until AMDs 9800x3d and Intel's next iteration hits. Had to scratch the itch somehow and ill put the left overs to good use

Hmm.... I should also get a testbench PSU... wonder what would be a good pick..

Well.. I put roughly 4000km on my Segway Ninebot S+.. lol. Only 1 person called me a fag in the 3 years that I rode it lol.

Surely they were just trying to bum a smoke off you?

I think my most recent tech purchase was a Pulsar Xlite v3 es (green with the stripe - love the colors) and it's awesome. My current fav mouse.

Heh, I got the OG MX518 few months ago and put this instantly to use. Love this just as much as I did in 2005.

Got a Redragon KM996 King 8K the other day. It's light as feather. It's kind of small size, but tracks well. The tracking itself feels smooth. The pads on the bottom are good as well. Also picked up some Soundcore by Anker Life A1 Earbuds because I wanted a pair of wireless earbuds. They sound decent enough on quality for me. They do block out a lot of outside noise though. Probably great if you're running a chainsaw. They make good ear plugs.

I'm a fan of Redragon. They make good stuff. If they could only get their software unified and sorted out..

It's going into one of my Z690/ 13600KF rigs.

Bought another security camera to add the the couple I already have, this one is solar.
It arrived this morning and it's mounted already.
I didn't think I would need more but my neighbor was threatened with a gun and it fell in a blind spot of my other cameras.

Didn't know you lived out in the wild west.......lol.

I get some transients digging through my recycle bin occasionally about the most excitement out here where I live.

I'm glad cameras weren't a thing when I was growing up would have gotten into all kinds of trouble lol.... Now everyone pretty much has them.

One of these (just arrived): Amazon.com: Solidigm™ P44 Pro Series 2TB PCIe GEN 4 NVMe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive, Read/Write Speed up to 7000MB/s and 6500MB/s, SSDPFKKW020X7X1… : Electronics

One of these at Best Buy for $29 (Amazon price match Thursday evening when it was cheaper) but it's going back this afternoon due to excessive heat issues in 4 different PC's: Amazon.com: PNY 256GB PRO Elite V2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive – 600MB/s, Gunmetal : Electronic

Whats stored on all those drives???

Whats stored on all those drives???

Oh, that's nothing, I have 5 drives in my daily driver system. 1.92TB 22110 NVMe drive(OS), a 2TB 2280 drive(temp), a 4TB WD 7.2k RPM HDD, an 8TB Hitachi 7.2k HDD and a 12TB Toshiba 7.2k HDD. In all fairness, all the HDD's are about half full(or less) currently but that is because I moved a ton of data to external drives, of which I have a WD 8TB, a WD 12TB and a WD 20TB, all USB 3.1.

Nice, good tweezer sets are always useful.

Snitches might get stitches, but switches just get replaced....also, i rather like d-link switches. not bad for the money.

I believe they are watch makers tweezers, so too small for much else really, though maybe phone repairs. No worries, have sole the tweezers and a set of drivers for £30 already, so nearly made back what the lot cost me.

In all fairness, all the HDD's are about half full currently but that is because I move a ton of data to external drives, of which I have a WD 8TB, a WD 12TB and a 20TB WD, all USB 3.1.

You mean 7,2k RPM drives...would be nice to have 72k RPMs, though!

Another month, another order to Aliexpress:

I have a $5 LGA 1700 cooler I got off of Aliexpress for a coupon upgrade, so I am building a media computer around it.

Soyo B660m motherboard ($62)
Intel i5 12400f ($90)
Kllisre 32gb memory kit ($38)
KingSpec 512gb NVMe drive ($30)
Jeyi NVMe cooler ($1.70)

I saved enough on this compared to amazon/newegg to pay for a case & PSU. The GPU is an a310 I got from MicroCenter ($87, open box).

For my main PC:
eSATA to Sata bracket ($3.74) I have a Mercury Qx2 4 bay drive that will connect to my PC, so I can turn my external drives into off-site cold storage.
8 Sata port PCIe card ($22). I have an Athena Power 8 bay SATA enclosure, so this card will really clean things up.

This should finish up my PC upgrades until Battlemage is released.

Then the misc:

Power Supply Tester ($6)
Ethernet Cable Tester ($3)
Hisource 2.5gb/10gb Switch ($25) Haven't tested the 10gb yet, but the 2.5gb ports deliver 2.5gb.
2 pkg of RJ45 dust covers ($3.40)

Yup, sorry.

Picked this one up for my DRS. When I'm done printing its housing it will be mounted to the base.

It appears to be called Stream Deck 1024 although it says nowhere on the box.
Also flash overexposed it.
