Last week it's was my birthday, finally 40 years old.....
But I got a pair off Sony's 1000XM05 white from my wife.
Now I have finally a good headphone for my second favorite love, music!!!
BTW the Pallas vinyl and cd are gifts from my sister.

Trying to give a new life to my Canon EOS 50D, two new batteries, a battery compartment lid (I really don't know where is) and a glass protector for screen.

Plus £60 of import fees lol. I have a nasty feeling I'm going to be stung twice on those fees if they do end up replacing it.

Replacements for warranty and similar are marked as such on the parcel and aren't taxed. So unless customs tries to scam you you won't have to pay a dime for it.

Though I'm surprised at the large number of "defective" units from this last batch, I think there's about 5 other people with similar problems in the FPGA discord server, all from with those limited edition pockets. I wonder if analogue will actually release a statement about it because that certainly doesn't seem like it's all that rare.

Big thanks for the info there, that is a relief! Not so much about the volume of people with issues though. Analogue have had enough time to get their shit together.

Normally they aren't PI's or something normally are generic NOAC blob chips but sometimes you can get some you can reprogram.

Yea it was a tiny red board with a black blob. Junk. I ripped it out and tossed it. I'm gonna use a Rasp 4b OC with a fan that i have already setup w retropie. But it think i can salvage the front button wires inside the fake mini NES to work with the rasp gpio's, to work the "Power" ,and the "Reset" to exit while playing games back to main menu in retropie. I just love to tinker.

I've got a computer of a similar age. It's got an i7-4770k in it but even though my gtx 770 is 3 years older than your R7 350, PCGameBenchark gives me 395 playable games. Having a dedicated GPU or swaping your R7 350 out for something newer like an RX 470/480 which doesn't need an extra power connector (like your R7 I think) would roughly double the amount of games that the benchmark will tell you that you can play. I've seen some RX 480's for as little as 30$ on ebay which I think is a pretty good deal.

Had enough points to get a $50 coupon code to one of the sites I buy Gunpla from, and they had a restock of a kit I wanted.. I got the HG TB High Mobility Type Psycho Zaku plus another HG Gundam Aerial kit.
So, I entered up paying $25 for both. Basically, it was $10 for both kits and $15 for shipping.

This will be the 3rd HG Aerial I've built, plus I still have the FM version to build.

Never knew you smoke or vape.

Never knew you smoke or vape.

Yeah, I had done since April. To be fair, in all honesty, I will never smoke cigarettes. They taste really horrible and it'll give you cancer in the long run. Vapes are much safer to use, but there hasn't been any proof so far that it gives you arthritis or cancer.
