yeah i wanted to try it out for a long time now.
it is actually really nice, no rattling and on par with my liquid freezer III 280. (while being a lot quieter)

received the glass bed.

That's a very nice cooler, but I would never buy one due to my cheapskate nature; especially since you can buy a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 for around $40 US that performs somewhat similarly. I personally run an Arctic Freezer A35 CO with my 5800x (it runs kinda toasty but that's the way the 5800x is; I even tried a Razer 240mm AIO a few months ago and it was still hot):

for cheap the hyper 212 is and always has been a great option. Mine is still in use in my old system. Probably have had it close to 15 years now? lol

I guess I should've figured that out given your profile pic

my brother returned me the xbox series controller and got this controller as a belated birthday gift, it has many cool features that are not there in xbox series controller at almost half the price although the feel of buttons is not as solid as series x/s controller but according to my brother it's on par with xbox one controller

 

[freeagent]

Got the first part of my AM5 build

Red because it was 8 beaver bucks next day arrival

Just to keep the TIM out of the hard to get to places.. and it came with a tube, which I needed

I had a few items from cosmic byte(headset, keyboard).... be careful. They stop working very quickly. They are just rebranded generic chinese products.

my brother already owns a mech keyboard by them which is more than 3 year old and still works fine

This 256GB micro SD card is now in my Ghost XL Pro action cam and I'll be using it for the ride to Cordoba on Monday. I put the 64GB card in my Lenovo Tab P11.
I sold the GoPro Hero 5 Black because the battery life was no more than about 30 mins at 1080p, but the Ghost is giving me nearly 7 hours which is incredible.
It's also streamlined, so my helmet doesn't get ripped off my head!

I renovate my room (finally!) and bought myself a new doorknob. Technically it's a tech purchase.

 

[GreiverBlade]

Oh happy day, another AliExpress order perfectly fine (2/3rd tbf )

What I mentioned before
pure perfection ... the work was also fun (and i did not do it on purpose but it seems that the color of the shell fits the EVA2 theme )


the EVA sticker is actually impressive ... reasonably thick and well made


the aggregated library came in with a 2gb uSD card while i ordered the standard bundle without the card (i had a 2gb aside and a 64gb if needed)


i swear i am not crying ... the nostalgia is too strong ...

now i just wait on the power cable

and the DAC which is also quite worth the price asked and it sound quite good... but why so many DAC you may ask ... because! i want DA Collection!



And 2 extras
XG connector protection plug



And a second BT dongle, because it worked so good ... that a "friend" ran with it

Let's say it had a decade long darts session. It's not water splashes, it's different patches of old paint.

I got a new watch. My wife made me upgrade my old Samsung Galaxy Frontier because it doesn't have all of the heart/health monitoring features. I didn't realize how slow my older watch was until I started using this one.

That's an expensive watch! I have never really seen the appeal of smartwatches (except for biking features since it's not good to look at your phone for that while riding) which is why I wear a Casio F-108WH that costs $20. It's a great watch but the band is cracking after about three years of use and the part that holds the excess band length is gone.

the older you get the more it is handy to have blood pressure monitoring, heart rate monitoring etc on you in person.
Even i hate smart watches!
I need to do so for my BP levels so i wear my casio GA B2100 on one hand and the Galaxy Watch 4 on the other

That makes a lot of sense. I just have to wonder if there are cheaper smartwatches that can do the same.

there are, but they are not accurate and god knows what kind of snake oil they use (i tried a few before getting the samsung one).

Honestly the galaxy 4 watch was worth it for me. I got it at a deal, earlier this year. Around 100USD. Cheaper than my G Shock

I said the same thing before I bought my first watch. It's one of those things you don't know you need until you have it. Now I can't imagine not having it. lol Due to some health issues I need the extra data. The biggest reason I went with the ultra was for the extra battery life. One huge reason is that it has AI! <---that's a joke.. hehe

Did you see the speed difference at the minute or second hand?

Received and delivered fast. Ordered from Anbernic on 23rd Oct and delivered to UK on 29th.

I've spent two straight hours glued to this retro immersed handheld (Anbernic CubeXX) and I’m actually floored. This thing has more games than i knew existed - the 80s and 90s all bundled together in the palm of my hand! Three weeks ago, I thought good quality emulation was something astronauts did in space and now I’m sitting here like a kid in a candy store.

Everything at stock works seamlessly. Zero issues encountered. Feels very comfortable in the hands. Great screen real estate and image quality. The product images do it justice, it feels just as premium in hand. I could go on... but I have zero experience in trying out other handhelds, so any feedback will be just my fresh impressions as a newcomer.

No doubt... one of my fav tech purchases of late.
