This Switch feels way too expensive for me

€247 is a really nice price, provided that Switch is in a really good condition. I paid around $275 for my first one and around $315 for my second one.

The first one was in a rather rough shape but at least it wasn't previously hacked. Sold the case and the joycons it came with, replaced them with brand new ones. Made some part swapping to get scratch-less dock and grip as well (purchased another Switch in between for $245 and sold it for $275 after that).

The second one, however, was and still is in a great shape, came with the original box and everything. All parts were pretty much well preserved. I also got some joystick caps, case, 128GB microSD card and a grip free of charge as a reward for not haggling for a better price, I guess. I was really happy with the purchase that I've made.

For the foreseeable future, I'll keep the both of them in my humble collection unless even better preserved Switch appears for sale locally for an acceptable price. I'd like to have two of them just in case one of them dies on me.

Happy birthday to me. These sound incredible, but squeeze my head like they're trying to pop it. It's an issue many people have with Sennheiser, but the clamping force does start to eventually relax after a couple weeks I've seen. Been wearing them for only a few days and they feel a little better already, so hopefully in another week they'll be broken in. Also, unlike every prior headphones I've used, I don't feel the tips of my ears rubbing against the inside, which is a godsend for me. Overall, happy with them (especially since i didn't pay the $500 for them).

Someone came in and recycled a big ol' box of old broken iPhone 5s/6's today, went through them all and ended up finding one first gen iPhone SE that luckily had no iCloud lock, just needed a screen and probably a battery. Threw both of those on it, ended up also having bad tristar so plan on fixing that Monday when I get back in.

Not sure what I'm gonna do with it, maybe give it to my daughter to play around with or something but hey can't turn down a free phone

It has a quite good condition, but it's not perfect. The screen has only minor scratches, but the back has signs of wear. The battery life is unknown because I only play docked. The joy-cons look fine and no see-able signs of wear. Although within the first half hour after I bought it the right one needed exchanging because it has a defect when I tested in in the car.

20 euros of the price was a supplement to get a unpatched unit. It came with 2 months of warranty, but is void because I modded it the first day.

It came with a case and a grip to click the joy-cons in, without charging function.

3D printer filament. It was supposed to arrive yesterday. Sounds like I need to put boot to ass.

Bought a 19" LG HDTV for the RV.

The RV has WiFi, clean water, and all that so it'd make a great house for a couple and their kid or pet. Wouldn't mind being that being me, but haven't found a girl yet.

Well thinking about to start to test my switch setup to FW17 so I brought a new SD Card, was on sale on Amazon 29 shipping on 2 days to my country, so today will start to play with new firmwares.

My credit card got put on hold cause I ordered pizza pizza 2 weeks ago, and my bank thought that the guy that orders the same pizza pizza order every 2 weeks for me, sister and her kids was not me so I had to call them, got it working again

So, of course, I bought another Gundam kit. This time, it was an RG Epyon. Also canceled my pre-order of Mario RPG on Best Buy and pre-ordered it on Amazon.

Managed to get hold of an RPi 5 at RRP, although ironically I'm using my old RPi 4 more right now in the PiStation to debug issues with FreePBX.

No joke, that screen is handy for seeing the status of boot/shutdown, even with tiny text.

Couple of days ago I helped my neighbor clean her dad's house and most was just garbage, but there was a Famiclone so I got to keep that (or it'd be thrown away).

I cleaned up the console, AV cable, and controllers so it looks nice now although I won't actually use it. Emulating is just so much better and besides, I don't have any carts to test it.

It did come with a charger, but it was one of those universal ones with multiple plugs so it's not in the picture.

I can help you to reduce clutter if you like, I can give to the console a home on my gaming closet

How many GBs are left after format?

 

[Hayato213]

How many GBs are left after format?

About 488 GB I believe.

 

[K3Nv4]

About 488 GB I believe.

I can't remember if that's enough for that one special batocera build that batocera hates cheaper 1tb cards for example tend to format around 912GBs

Sandisk 1TB give about 953 GB of space. I never ran Batocera on a SD card yet so I don't know.
