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 :rockout:

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

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. :love:

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..
