Things you recently bought or got

[DaFixer]

3 weeks ago my Gazelle Avigon C8 HMB got stolen, last week I got my money back from the insurance company.
Today I pick up my new e-bike Gazelle Grenoble C5, funny thing it makes the same lock/unlock sound as a car

She's so cute!

I bought the fumo from AliExpress. You can't even tell that it's a knockoff, and fortunately, this is the only way you can buy them now that the company behind them are greedy cunts.

I think this is going to be my new favourite fighting game for a while..

I ordered a 55"x24" desk. I was going to buy a sit/stand desk, but where I was going to put it has a low, slanted ceiling, so I wouldn't be able to use the desk in a standing position. Now I just need to clean out the closet that it's going in before it comes on Sunday.

Gotten myself this little thing to replace my laptop with.

HX 370/32GB/2TB model.

Pretty pleased with the thing, amazed at the battery life I get out of it!
So happy it has a screen protector pre-applied!

$1800

The first GPD Pocket was $350.

For the condition that this Gamecube is in, I am honestly shocked that it powers and boots up! The spindle/disc holder is missing entirely, the back panel is missing. Honestly for learning how to fix consoles, its perfect for me.

Dinoh has two bank accounts now so it's actually all his money.

That's crazy! Congrats, enjoy your pocket laptop. I didn't know they evolved so much over the years. I remember drooling over GPD's ~10 year old models back in the day. I sure hope that it doesn't get hotter than the sun like some of its predecessors though

It is certainly a big upgrade over this silly kludge I had the (dis)pleasure of using:

I fear to see the costs of them at the end of the year, pretty certain they're gonna be even more unaffordable.

Thermals are actually pretty good!
I still have my old HTC Shift x9500, I love the form factor, always wanted to upgrade to a pocket back in the day but never gotten around until now!

I don't think I'd go smaller than an old 11" MacBook Air with Linux on, but it's nice there's still modern options for pocket size, the netbook thing was a fun trend in its time.

I haven't checked availability for a long time (because I already bought one), but that Cube looks like a prime candidate for a GCLoader. (ODE)

Funny you mention the GCLoader, I was planning to go with a Picoloader seeing as I bought a new spindle motor assembly already, its also so I can learn to repair consoles.

So far in terms of soldering I've soldered the GPIO header on a Pi Zero 2 W and swapped the battery on a Super Mario Land 2 cart. But I also don't want to recap the drive without knowing if the laser assembly works or not.

HTC Shift x9500

MAN I regret selling my Fujitsu U810 way back in the day... Hooking up a DVD drive to install games on that Win XP was hilarious since the umpc was 3/4 profile of the internal drive.

Bought 1TB NVMe for my PS5 Pro and the worst part is that it practically cost me what 2TB did in 2024. Annoying as that is, prices just aren't going down so I got a good deal for what it is.

I wish Xbox Series let you add your own, instead of they proprietary storage. SanDisk just came out with they version for Xbox - 1tb for $249.99, 2tb for $424.99 - Craziness! I'm sure you paid way less.
