Yeah I could probably match the MSRP at the time of purchase but dunno. It's still plugged in, didn't have time to put in the 3080 Ti in.

samsung UHS3 128gb memory card.

it was such a bargain (~15USD) so it was hard to pass, specially since my tab had an empty micro SD slot

@sam_86314 I guess OG pads were velour?

Yeah, they were. Very small and not all that comfortable (despite what I said in my original post).

Got the little aqua computer sensor. haven't even installed it in the case yet, but am so impressed. I have an old remote from some leds lights, and have programmed the Vision to accept commands from this remote. I will post some more pics when i have it fitted inside the case, but here are some initial pics. It's smaller than i expected but screen is still perfectly visible.

Yikes! That's like a big honking air conditioner! Like my USA-made compressor on a 10,000 BTU-rated window air conditioner from the late-1990s that I had. It would easily suck that many watts on compressor startup, until it gets to normal speed. The lights would almost go out for like 1 second. I almost brought it with me in 2016, but I left it behind in 2016.

With the air con I had, the amperes were virtually infinity when it first comes on.

Considering it's the original DJI spark and only 1080p, the quality is amazing

The newer ones are 4K with optical zoom and other fancy stuff, but they really, really nailed it the first time around

I'd love to get one to play with and maybe map out our land but the dogs would follow me and I know the moment it landed they would tear it to pieces, it's the main reason I haven't bought a robot hoover or lawnmower.

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.

Exactly, some people don't appreciate the fact (yes, fact!!!) that the earpads make a vast difference in sound. I recall swapping out the craptastic stock pads of the Fostex T50RP with a pair of sheepskin MrSpeakers Alpha Pads and got blown away by the difference. The reverse is also true, buy a pair of earpads like leather/pleather ones and swapping out stock velour ones on cans designed with velour pads in mind, would only result terribly muddied sound (learnt that the hard way).

I'll find out when I take it from its package. Still on the move with my mom :laugh:

New keyboard time! Cherry MX Board 10.0. Cost me approx. 120 €. Best keyboard I've ever had! Low profile, Cherry MX Speed Silver LP switches, aluminium chassis, detachable USB-C cable, numeric keys... All I ever wanted from a KB. It even came in an overkill aluminium/plastic suitcase! The cable could be nicer/more flexible though

Gumby · Dec 23, 2021

Got 5 of these at $47 a piece on Amazon. Had a 1Tb go out finally after 8yrs of use. It was vibrating so bad it was shaking the case it was in. They are in Raid 5. It is my Picture and music backup, backup.
These are for the next crash I will change over to these then.

I won't be using the wifi. Just wanted 1000 speed for my machines and my NAS. $35 plus a 25% discount.
