The Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB is new, figured it was time to treat myself…. Y’know, because I haven’t bought anything in like 5 minutes :D Also spent a few hundred quid on some more albums, the wife doesn’t know that bit, lol.

The Arcam Solo is an oldie, but a bloody goodie. Couldn’t resist it at the price, the seller thought it was broken…. But if you know how to do a factory restore from the hidden engineering menu, well that just sorted everything :D

I’ve been a huge Arcam fan for decades. But since I met the wife, my HiFi suffered badly, she hates loud anything and banned big speakers and a pile of av gear from the lounge. So being a numptie, I sold up. But I’ve decided to start off again.

They’re set up in the lounge just now, hardly ideal, but it’s where I’m spending most of my time just now. With the wife still working from home, I’m apparently too loud to be in my office…. Ffs!

So, they’ll live down here, with me working on my laptop until she goes back to work and I can set them up properly in my office.

Also bought another Harmony Companion, as a spare for the one I have, not that Logitech have decided to phase out the best remotes you can buy :angry:

Eyeing up some new Monitor Audio speakers as well, I’m going to be separated from parts of my body I’m really rather fond of when/if the wife finds out how much I’ve actually spent this month :rofl2:

Right, enough waffling, bloody morphine :D

PXL-20210715-011209794-MP.jpg


I got the N200 5G but only cause it was free
I am using a pixel 3a XL right now
I have not unboxed this thing yet but I did start to set up my dads
Not sure if I should keep it or sell it for something else
the pixel is already almost out of space and I just got it in January
this is 64 GB too but at least it has a micro SD option
GA does not work for shit on the 3A XL and hasn't since I got it, I really don't expect this to change on the nord tho
I hope it does but I doubt it, not even sure if you can use it hands free on this phone

the 3A XL works ok when you are not driving or working outdoors using wireless buds and need a working hands free assistant
and it sucks at taking night shots and 64 GB with no expanded storage is ridiculous in a 2019 phone
also smart lock doesn't work but it hasn't worked on any Google phone ever so no surprise there.

I have been hearing the camera setup on the N200 is trash , but I did find a Google camera .apk that will work on this phone that is supposed to help a lot
but I do not have high hopes at all even with Googles post processing added
(Which I think is worth fuckall for night shots BTW as is their absolutely worthless "night sight" option)

I don't know should I even bother giving this thing a shot?
I am just hoping for a phone with a working voice assistant that will work when screen is locked
and/or that will stay unlocked with smart lock.

looks good on paper but who knows, slightly better processor, better camera (on paper)
LCD over OLED (which should be brighter but I couldn't find NITS values for both phones,or either phone)
better refresh rate, larger battery with longer battery life ( I am very much doubting this because I played with my dads and it drained down like 40% in the very short time I was playing with it , so seems like battery life will be absolute shit despite reviews saying it has almost 3 day battery and 5000Mah)

I have never used oxygen OS and figured might as well try it for free before deciding on either a new pixel flagship or one plus flagship

Got sent an email with new firmware for my tv cause it failed its auto update and I guess softbricked itself. I'm definitely turning off wifi on it, cause I don't want this to happen again and because I dont need any of the "smart" features it's has. In just installing some apps I used on it like a better file browser and retroarch. Other than that I used my ps4 for Netflix or any other streaming service I need.

A Local seller is selling these wonderful items but they are very expensive. Which item should I buy?

I want fire red and emerald. Each one cost $699 usd.

I can buy at least two items but I might regret it later hehe.

I would say Emerald, since it is my birthstone and color. Taurus Rules.
700 usd for used copy of emerald? all of them are used and maybe their batteries are dead and remade on 3ds. I could buy it from ebay with replaced battery and maybe cheaper than him .... but they all here locally lol ... I dont know what to do.

Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD Remaster and Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition for my Switch. SMT cost me £20, XB was £25, unboxed on eBay. The only problem is my games case can only hold 12 cards, plus one in the chamber. I now have too many. Need to buy a bigger case.

I think my kids still have all their GBA Pokemon games in their room. Holy...sheet!
Take games

Buy flashcarts

Put cheap stickers on them

Give to kids

Profit


...Also is $699 a justifiable price for those? I've seen them around for $300 at most. Unless they're unopened-

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
