Sadly it's broken but it still looks neat sitting on my shelf.

Received the cheap PS4 I bought about a week ago, it looks nice in white and all, just a shame it has the firmware 11.50.

I've bought plenty of games on the PSN Store so it's no biggie, but would have been nice to have it hacked.

At this point: If the seller doesn't mention the firmware, assume it's the latest.

Nice. I notice people tend to disregard this brand and as such, I actually got some decent SSD deals thanks to it.

Can't complain over a $35 1tb ssd though.

Is Kingston a bad/unreliable brand? I've yet to complain about it.

My ancient 64GB Kingston SSD still works to this day so, at least for me, they are completely fine. Sadly, there are probably plenty of knock-offs so you gotta be careful.

Wera didn't have any game bits or the correct Y bits for Nintendo consoles, so I got the Mako set from IFixIt instead. As well as the magnet mat because it's a miracle I'm not losing more screws than I already do.

How do they work??? Quite well actually, the bits are a huge step up from the ebay crap I had previously, and the mat's magnetism is nice and strong to hold screws securely in place. Used it today to open up 4 of my game boys to deep clean all power switches. Works great, would recommend, fuck whoever designed the GBC power switch.

Mako, as in the Game Boy modder on YouTube?

Nah it's just the name ifixit gave one of their sets of screwdriver & bits (I've got the same one, it's great). Just a coincidence.

Protip: whenever you buy a mop with replaceable sponge inserts like that, just go ahead and buy about 6 of those sponge refills right away. Because if you don't, by the time you wear out the first one and go to buy a new sponge, the mop will be changed to a different design, i.e. "New and Improved!" and the sponges they'll be selling will be for the new mop, not your old one.

With @AncientBoi , you really never know what he will use the mop for, he may never even use the sponge part.
I picked up a used N64 today from a garage sell ($25), w controller and SMario64 cart, works good. Me n wifey have been on a garage sell purge, going to bunch of them on weekends, you can sometimes find some cool stuff cheap. I use an app called "NextDoor" and it shows garage sales within 50 miles from me, is cool.

You're thinking of Makho, "Mako" is a type of shark, and also just what that 64 bit set is called by IFixit.

Yes you are correct. I had a brain fart for a second.

Thank god. I thought I was the one who farted.

Bought a DS Rumble Pak without a sticker, and seems like it's the eWin version based on the photos. The vibration of both is described as "not very intense."

White - eWin
Black - Unbranded

The eWin was also available in black. Review here with it in black: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ewin-rumble-pak-review.46636/
