I just get a «magic» box, it's a puzzle with a secret internal storage space:

Annnnd also managed to get my hands on the "MiSTER Pi", the "$100 FPGA" Been wanting to get some sort of FPGA device for ages but didn't want the spend the multiple hundreds of dollars for a full kit. Was super excited when Taki Udon announced he was working on this, so definitely been trying to make an attempt at grabbing one. Didn't manage to get it during the first batch drop a couple days ago but got lucky this time

I returned to the house I grew up in and found my old N64, so I did what any self-respecting rose-tinted adult would do and popped it open to get it all cleaned up for an Everdrive 64 X5 I picked up.

Still waiting on some cables for upscaling, but it's been very fun and rewarding to work on the hardware I grew up on.

Bought this soldering iron and extra tip to replace my 20+ year old Radio Shack cheapie. Should be a mind-blowing upgrade.

I got one just for fun, but I am worried has not stopped to spin since I took the last photo

That means this is all a dream. You can make yourself a castle on a hilltop if you want ... *with your mind*.

Went out and got the rest of my pc parts (minus the gpu). I got a Ryzen 5 7600 non x, a GIGABYTE B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI Motherboard and a kit of T-Force 32GB DDR5 6000MHz RAM.

Got home and was about to build it and realized I lost the screws that came with my case so I had to order some to come tomorrow or else the motherboard is free floating in the case.

If I had all those problems ( ones you named before you edited the post) I would have probably just gave up and thrown it all in the trash.

So which MB did you end up going with in the end?
I have an Z690 Asus TUF board for my 12700k and I am using the thermal right correction bending frame instead of the ILM
The only issue I have with this board and I read that a lot of Asus boards have it as well is that the white QLED LED will stay lit even though there is no problem with video and my system posts fine and the GPU is working fine.
I wonder if you have kept the TUF board if you have experienced this issue or maybe it is confined to their Intel chipset boards.
I tried every fix and nothing worked but this one work around that is kind of a PITA,
you have to shut down the PC, then unplug the monitor , then reboot it and then shut it down with the power button and then plug the monitor back in and power it on again.
Then the white QLED LED will finally stay off.


Also wonder if you used the correction bending frames that are showing up for the AMD Ryzen CPU's now
I never thought there was an issue with them and I thought the problem was confined to Intel chips since the Intel IHS is rectangular and the AMD chips have a square IHS.

I guess maybe there is then.

The X670E TUF board is the motherboard of my main PC (Ryzen 9 7950X). Now that I have the MSI board, I will use that one, mainly because I prefer its quality and layout over the Gigabyte. For example, the BIOS flashback button is on the I/O shield and not on the board down by the fan connector. It has more fan and ARGB headers along with other small details. Also, I have never used one of those frames, so I do not know how they are. Also, the Debug LED turns off for me when Windows boots up.

This PC was mainly going to be a "Fancy" office PC it wasn't really going to be for games. It's the reason why I didn't get a GPU for it. Was going to upgrade my main PC GPU Some time this year or early next year and use that gpu in it.

These 2 telephones from the 70's or 80's, I couldn´t make the light go on when it rings in the green one, probably I should use a led instead but I don't know.

Yotsuba&! Vol.1

Purchased it last week, and halfway through it. I've enjoyed Azuma's past works, and this is a pretty fun read so far!

...And a bottle of Ramune. Should be tasty.

My buddy crash bailed on this scooter. He said “I’m too old for this thing. It’s so dangerous.” Well IT WAS!!

The stem was super wobbly. I straightened it up and it’s very nice now. The handlebars were bent back on the right side. That’s the side that impacted the street first. No wonder why it was dangerous.

He’s my buddy and he knew I would treat the scooter nice. He gave me this MacWheel MX1. It’s a xaiomi M365 rebrand and parts are VERY easy to come by and cheap. I got a new handlebar and screws for the rear fender. Now it’s nice to ride.

I’m going to replace the solid tires next. The front tire is bald in the middle and the rear tire is shaved in multiple spots. Lack of tire tread might have contributed to his crash.

I'm assuming it was you whom also has a scooter. So how's yours coming along?

Very well. My Apollo, I added the old headlight from my ebike. It’s at the top of the stem. I’m not sure if I’ll do any other upgrades to this one. Turn signals may be nice. I found handlebar grips with room for a switch. That way, I wouldn’t have to take my hands off the handlebar to signal. That’s THE MOST dangerous thing you can do on a scooter. I’m trying to focusing more on my bike.
