Is a flashlight considered technology in this day and age?

Made with LEDs and charged up with a micro-USB cable? I'd say it qualifies.

True but even high tech insulating concrete ytong is still a brick

But a brick doesn't have a battery and electronics. This is a tech forum and as such a battery powered LED light qualifies.

Also charges a phone as a powerbank.

I'm sure there has been stuff that's been posted that is further from been classed as technology than this.

Is it PC tech only then ThaiTaffy?

No. TechPowerUp covers a lot more than just PC tech. While PC parts are the primary focus, they are not the exclusive focus. W1zzard has said as much a few times over the years, though I'm not going to go searching for a quote as a citation.

Sorry Tigger I've probably posted worse just late and trying to be funny (not working) it's obviously tech and being a power bank is pretty impressive. What's the battery capacity? It says wearable so I'm guessing it's not that big.

Battery is 1350Mah i think. It's actually pretty neat, has both Red and White use too, with a bike mount too.

Age does not define usefulness. The SNES is 30 years old and I still play games on it.

Nintendo Sues Guy for $25 He Made Selling N64 on eBay

Nintendo has declared its latest lawsuit and will be suing a guy in Vermont that made $25 selling his old N64 on eBay.

hard-drive.net

Someone gave me one in my early 20s I never actually had one when they were the thing but I do remember playing the first Final Fantasy on it. It was a 2D top down game

ThaiTaffy · Dec 21, 2021

Wish me luck....hopefully I don't blow myself up or burn the house down.

I've been pushing my luck all week... made and fitted this a few days ago.

Roger that. Will not happen again.
So this is my latest tech purrrrrrchase:

sam_86314 · Dec 21, 2021

The new earpads for my SR850s arrived...

They're much bigger, they feel better to wear, and my ears fit inside them much better.

What I wasn't expecting was the extent of the effect they had on the sound. The bass is stronger now and the high end is a bit weaker; I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Time will tell I guess.

EDIT: They definitely cut out a lot more noise now.

Chomiq · Dec 22, 2021

@sam_86314 I guess OG pads were velour?

Did you try boxing them? I hear that helps.
