They seem to work at a maximum distance of 100m!
Other brands 10-15m and are more expensive.

Didn't see bluetooth 5 yet, how expensive was it?

It was a Joke

There's not Bluetooth 5

Shame on me :shadedshu:

Well a while ago I was reading an article about Bluetooth 5 so I wasn't surprised.

@Knoxx29 "The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced that its next release, coming late 2016 to early 2017, will be called Bluetooth 5"

https://www.bluetooth.com/news/pres...edincreases-data-broadcasting-capacity-by-800

So it was possible!

New speakers Z906 & keyboard

That's a nice looking keyboard in the 1st pic

.

Got this today for a whole $3

( Garmin Navi 265 ). Been wanting one for my bike for ever but never bothered as they are more for roads than any thing but this one isn't to bad and good for $3

. Got some valcro on the back so it stays fixed to my bike ( bicycle

).

ASOT · Jan 21, 2017

@AsRock Thank you

Tardan · Jan 21, 2017

Here are some of the things I bought in the last few months

Some new speakers and amp for my PC!

A new 4K OLED TV from LG

Last but not least I took a big leap of faith in myself and modded a EVGA Hybrid cooler for my TITAN X! Huge difference in temperatures and especially noise. Super happy with it

Good stuff Garmin, my dad currently has one as well in his car, with a 5" screen, also the software is pretty good.
His previous was a "Mio" which wasn't good and the software sucked, he only had it a few months.
Before that he had a "Navman", he replaced the battery once and later it got GPS issues.

the Mio and Navman were notoriously bad in my memories :laugh:

Well my dad had the "Navman" for many years, a friend of my dad installed pirated iGO software on it and then there were so many options on it at that time which worked well for many years.

Friend of mine gifted me in old Lenovo think server TD 200 it only has a Xeon 5506 in it but I just bought two 5530s for it and 32GB of RDIMMs. I still need a second CPU cooler. It came to me with one CPU and a couple of hard drives that I have yet to look at but I'm planning on resurrecting it and making it a functional machine.

The TD 200 doesn't officially support the 5530s the 5530s are supported on the TD 200X but they have the same chipset so I'm hoping that I can get it to boot.

Finally found some o-rings...
Apparently not that many people use mechanical keyboards in Ukraine (even less fix'em): only one seller in the whole country re-sells cheap chinese dampeners (had to wait +3 weeks for restock).
Now I can finally do my stuff at night without waking the entire neighborhood :slap:

Cool, nice 128GB micro sd, I only have one 8GB version with a huge music collection on it in my Galaxy S7.

My phone at the moment: 19.37GB used out of 32GB....
I don't use much apps, instead uninstalled/disabled a lot.
Most apps I have installed are from the Oculus VR store.

Or will you be using it for video recording of your drone?

nah my drone is 32gb max and i have a Toshiba Exceria U3 model for it, that one is just a simple cheap U1, on the other hand my Honor 7 allow to shift the storage from phone to uSD totally (meaning all extra downloaded/paid/sideloaded app goes on uSD and not only data)

mostly my Mangarock and PPSSPP library fill it... i might need a second one for my Shield Tablet (unless i decide to buy a K1 version ) because i also use that one for Mangarock ... and my 64gb was full too on that one xD (had to erase some rom that i used with PPSSPP )

finally ... NEVER BUY THOSE CHEAPO KNOCKOFF!!! that one from ASUS is cheap enough by itself ... (each time i read CSR 4.0 on a dongle i think "oohhh that user gonna have issue and he will not find from where they come ..." from connection issues to BSOD most of the time

)

PS:

thought i can't find the dongle ... :laugh:

(i have it since quite a while tho)

and then HOW FREAKIN AWESOME! the MobileLite G4 handle MicroSD + SD AT THE SAME TIME! copy just got easier ... (not that i don't have enough free USB 3.0 port ... but still

)

forgive me my rather poor quality pics ... i took them with my Shield Tab ... (although i am lucky ... most custom rom for it, have in "does not work" : Camera ... alongside with WiFi most of the time :laugh:

)

edit: oh well your was a Logilink .... not a NoName brand CSR 4.0 ... still Logilink is in my "avoid if possible" list

Ja.KooLit · Jan 25, 2017

bought this up at the airport the other day before my very long flight (incheon to panama via amsterdam). It really worth it. Never had a noise cancelling headphone before and I was amazed by this.

Choosing between sony MDR1000X and this one but this one is more comfortable to use

biffzinker · Jan 25, 2017

Installed a new power supply yesterday for $90 bought locally.

For better photos I'm going to link to Newegg's.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...ga_power_supply_850_BQ-_-17-438-086-_-Product

Something else I came across when I removed the power supply from the box. The weight of the power supply even with the bubble wrap, and foam spacer up top managed to move around in the box enough to damage one of the SATA power connectors on the modular cable I plugged in. A triangle shape of plastic was broken out, and the plastic connector had a crack down the middle.

Jetster · Jan 25, 2017

So i've heard good things but always skeptical. Just a gimmick I thought.
I've always used 99% Alcohol or Acetone to remove tough stuff.

Well I bought it on a whim. Used the remover on some sticker glue on a laptop plastic bezel. (smells like citrus)
It removed what Alcohol would not. And did not melt the plastic. You know that tough glue that you rub and rub and still is sticky.
Took it right off. Crazy. I'm sold

Where can I get a large bottle

ArctiClean 1 Thermal Material Remover:
ArctiClean 1 uses a proprietary combination of non-toxic biodegradable solvents to emulsify thermal greases or thermal pads.
The citrus and soy based solvents in ArctiClean 1 match or exceed many hazardsous and
volatile solvents such as fluorinated and chlorinated organic solvents, acetone, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol, and toluene.
