So I got this today and unfortunately I don't have a charger for it in my boxes o cables, so ordered a replacement. But first impressions on this thing, it's way too clean to be used much. There are no scuffs or scratches on the screen (which is super rare for a resistive touch screen like this), there's no scuffs or marks on the casing at all, I pulled off some of the back panels and even the HDD looks like it's never been touched by human hands after it left the factory :lol:

So I'm confident it'll work, but guess I have to wait for the charger to find out.

OR MAYBE @Chary. MAYBE. I COULD GET. MAYBE. A THING. @Chary. PLS
:sad:
:)
The saga continues, I tore the HDD out of this today and put it in an old Compaq to check with a Puppy Linux live USB, to see if it had anything on it that's interesting or if it worked at all...and apparently this laptop was previously owned by Mike deGruy, famous deep sea diver and deep sea cinematographer. A lot of his past data was deleted, but a "quick" undelete with TestDisk and I found a few neato things; some articles and scripts written by him, some photos, some business docs and such.

Pretty fancy to own something by a famous person!

But related to the thread, I bought a 128GB SD card that I'll probably use to replace the hard drive for the Lifebook cuz it was clicking pretty bad when I was imaging the drive.

A new watch. The strap broke on the one I had, and it needed replacing anyway.
Arrives in three days and I'm stoked.
It arrived today!

Overall I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

I already own some games in that bundle but it still looks worth it!
Might pick me up that immortal planet and Jet Set Radio too

My last purchase was TIG welder for work. In this instance, the TIG200P is actually best professional TIG welder that I saw–though there are a couple others that give it a run for its money. Probably it completely worth spent money but I am still checking reviews about some others devices to make sure I've made a right choice after all https://protoolsadviser.com/best-tig-welder/

New headphones, my old ones are falling to bits.

The new Electric Purple DS4. So nice :).

Seems like they are all retailer exclusive here. Amazon has the rose gold, game has the camo red. It's not advertised as exclusive, but only currys/pcworld seems to have the purple. Not seen the titanium blue anywhere yet.

After having such a positive experience with the Tribit BT Speaker I got to review, I decided to up and buy Tribits newly released true wireless Bluetooth headphones, the "Flybuds", as my dad plans on upgrading my phone to the new Note 10 (or maybe 10+?) for my birthday later this month...which unfortunately drops the 3.5mm jack, so wireless headphones are a bit of a "must" for me.

First impressions are mostly good, had a little trouble getting the earbuds to sync together right out of the box (as you can sync either one in a "mono" mode, if you only want one earphone in) as they just wouldn't sync together for some reason, but after a complete reset they're working great now. Audio quality is good enough for the price I paid ($40 cuz I had a coupon), and they feel pretty comfortable in my ears which is good. Battery life is supposed to be about 6 hours, plus another 30 or so in the case which is also nice.

I'm also blown away how convenient true wireless headphones like these are. Tom BombaBabby is just over 7 months now, and she's had a ferociously curious nature the last couple months so she's been grabbing anything she can get her hands on, especially during feedings and as she falls asleep. So, whenever she's getting ready for a nap, I switch from speakers to my headset to keep things quiet, but she'd always yank the USB cable any chance she'd get which is obviously a bit of an issue. So these are just doubly nice to use, not getting grabbed off my head or having the USB cable pulled is wonderful already.
