Bit more home audio equipment - WiiM Ultra streamer. Basically got it for ease of streaming Tidal and as I write I'm redigitizing the parts of my CD collection I don't have in vinyl and setting up Gerbera+Postgres on my home server... If things can escalate, they do escalate.
Nice stuff, and good music taste I really like Going For The One with Turn of the century and Awaken!

Got this old technic 8865 (1988) Test car for cheap, back in the day my 3 year older cousin have this one for display in his room. Back then I always wanted one, now I have on my gaming, office and mencave room ;)

Finally I decides for the 17 inches Samsung Was the only one with the composite and components inputs

Does it have S-video too? Most TVs of that period, if they have component input, it will also have S-video. And S-video is not quite as good as component, but it's a HUGE upgrade over composite.

Nintendo multi-out compatible cables w/ s-video on Amazon

nop. S-Video never was a real use on my country, almost none device used.
 
Finally got a 10.1" microscope. I have so much more room under it now. It came with some movable LEDs, but I probably won't use them. I've attached a pic of the new one next to my old one. I got the old one when I first started needing to see smaller parts and wasn't too sure if it was worth getting one.

by the way the PCIe interface is ONLY for the WiFi module the Bluetooth use a internal USB connector more sketchy!!!
 
My old, beloved, trusty Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i is sadly reaching her end-of-life. Got her in February of 2023 as my second Chromebook, and I beat the leaving hell out of this thing.

The screen is midly bent from me picking it up ungently and the mousepad is doing weird shit, and worn to hell from my using it without cutting my nails enough (I play guitar).. Touch screen is erratic, at best with this weird bend in the screen that I can see from the side.

Not worth repairing, even though it was a great rig. The center of the screen has a bend that should not be there, and random screen hopping and mouse behavior is existent.

Here's my new rig.

Dell Latitude 5330 2in1 Touch Laptop i7, 12th Gen Core i7-1265U, 32GB RAM DDR4, 512GB SSD, 13.3” FHD Touchscreen, Thunderbolt4, 10 Core Win 11 Pro​

The AYN Thor finally came after a month and a half and luckily for me, it came the same day as it was "Out For Delivery" (last mile used GOFO Express) and so far, so good. Gonna take some time to get everything just right, but that's the beauty of this thing.

Round 3 on custom plates I ordered off Aliexpress. Some Mario-kun action. It took me a while editing the image with the background art. I have zero experience haha

That looks way better than the plates I bought for my N3DS XL, but guess it was also $10 or more whereas mine were just $3ish.

I bought Fitness Boxing Hatsune Miku on the Switch for a crazy low price while on eBay it's £40~50 (Approx. $55~$67).

Should be a fun game.
 
Bluray is cheaper you can get 8 movies in one for $20 VS a 4k box that's $20 for one and the quality has a minimal difference tbf.
To be fair, most (like 60%) are movies that are hard to find or long out of print on blu as I mainly collect horror with a specific focus on drive in, exploitation, and giallo.

Those still look cool, plus you can't beat $3 :D
 
I got this fucking beast. Masterpiece Movie Series Blackout. (knockoff).
Absolute fucking unit. Jetfire is half an inch taller but he's skinny; this guy is a CHONK. I was considering getting the oversized version but that thing probably wouldn't fit in my apartment. This guy is already hard to pose and of course it doesn't fit my trusty background (I really really should make a lightbox...). And it's nice and heavy with all the die cast parts. Haven't had a chance to transform him yet, there's 60 steps and it might take a while.
