Okay folks, fun one for you here! I moved into the flat a few days ago and just got shelves. If you've ever wondered what six years of reviews plus a tech addiction looks like, look no further! This isn't everything, but it's most of my big box stuff unpacked... I'll probably update when that room is done.

What's in the box with the blue monkeys on it (In the same pic as the Starfield controller)?

Also Pascal gang :), GPU market is still a joke. "Deals" are just bend over slightly less, rather than actually being good.

That’s the giant GameVice for the iPad Mini!

I upgraded sooner rather than later, and even went above the evo and got the ny lock. Saw a vid of someone just cutting the last lock I had with a small pair of bolt cutter, granted it will still fall to angle grinders but those locks start at $200+ for a litelok x1, and grinder thieves are a bit uncommon.

Managed to get it pretty much brand new on ebay for a little under $60. They also had the forgetabouit ver for a few bucks more but its 2in shorter, has no mounting system, and doesnt really offer much more protection over the regular one.

Show this to the LockPickingLawyer and he'll break it open within seconds.
 
Finally got my Arduboy FX in the mail. It is in fact credit card sized.

And some other small stuff for comparison's sake:

As for using it, the buttons are pretty nice and clicky and the speaker is loud enough if it doesn't have to work against too much background noise. As is usual for those sorts of tiny, monochrome OLED displays it's very crisp and easy to read.

You watch LockPickingLawyer?



I didn't see @SylverReZ's post. I didn't mean disrespect, lol.

No one picks locks on the street though, it requires a special tool, and lpl has probably 20+ years experience.
Thieves always go for quick destructive methods, you can have some cheap masterlock on there and it will never get picked, just cut instead.

It is already, in a sense, overkill. (Err on the side of caution) Anybody who has the toolset and the skill to pick that lock will have a better time picking coin lockers or other potentially higher-valued/less secured targets--or they are involved in professional trades of not robbing people.

Bought these some time ago, but decided to post them
Aorus48OLED.jpg

Seems to be a good monitor, especially for the price of it.
Sedna10PortUSBHub.jpg

This hub is an internal hub and uses USB A connector. Includes a USB Header to USB A port adapter, but my motherboard already had an USB A port internally so didn't need the adapter at all.
SiliconPower2TBNVME.jpg

Don't know much about this nvme, but it does load an OS image in RAM in mere seconds, instead of minutes from SSD or mechanical HDD. Have not had problem with it so far.
