And MEMOREX

A PS4 Slim with controller (because my old one was broken) from a friend.
And 8bitdo Ultimate controller.

Bought a second turkey today to lay eggs, well, I had three, but the first one was killed by the gang of chickens so I've segregated the turkeys from the chickens.

Don't make the same mistake.

What system version does it have? The latest?

Would've been cool if it were 9.00 or less.

Just be careful where you use that cable, dont leave it unattended for long periods of time. A simple $10 handheld pair of cable cutters will go right through that.

And MEMOREX

Or the people who call Maxell "Maxwell" because of bootleg cassettes.

Is it Live, or is it MEMOREX? Their selling line.

Came back from the reptile expo, with no reptiles. Instead, I got 13 tarantulas, food for my geckos(1 bag for me and 2 for my friend), feeder insects for the tarantulas, 2 millipede, mice for my hognose and corn snakes and some plants for a dart frog terrarium I'm going to starts and a pitcher plant. I've always wanted a pitcher plant but could never find them.

So the tarantulas are all dwarfs except 1.
It was 5x Kochiana brunnipes, 5x Neoholothele incei, and 2x Davus pentaloris and 1 Brachypelma emilia.

You would need a Very big Tararium? for all that.

For 2 dart frogs, a 10 to 20 gallon aquarium would be enough

Today I got the first welding on years,

I am going to start a project where I need to write some EEPROMS and I buy a CH431Pro programmer, and learned the damn chinesse gadget have a critical design flaw, the VCC for the EEPROMS is 3V3 but the datalines are 5V!!! so searched intensively and found a fix which involves to lift the CH431B chip VCC pin and solder directly to 3V3 out of regulator and feed 3V3 to the 3V pin.

No my best work but really some years have since my last micro welding.

So helping with my new microscope:

the VCC of chip lifted, put some kapton under to avoid any short

Then connected to 3V3

the 3V pin is so near to 3V3 out of regulator:

Next to recover my Nintendo Game & Watch!

Rapoo VT9 Pro because it went on a flash sale yesterday on Amazon.
Orico Bluetooth adapter with Broadcom chipset because i'm trying to figure out if its CSR that was too lazy to include Bluetooth BLE support on Windows XP or if Broadcom is also lazy. All of that because Xbox controllers aren't picked up by the adapter, a keyboard and trackpad combo i have that's Bluetooth also isn't picked up by the adapter and my G603 as well.

And yes the TP-Link adapter i have does supports Bluetooth BLE, its the damn driver that doesn't support it.

Got some stuff

Also got this bag to keep my PSP Go safe, however it's garbage as it can't actually close with a PSP Go inserted. The stupid zipper has to scratch over the plastic of the thing if I'd want to force it, but that's not going to happen.

Those are some amazing images, what's the model number / store link? I've been considering getting a microscope as well.

When you see an exoskeleton, from a spider, snag it. It’s so interesting under a microscope. You will be able to see where the spider escaped the old shell.

In 2018/2019 I bought a fucking chinese "1TB" External Hard Drive that I was going to use for storage.
The shit stopped working after I filled it with around 100GB of files.

Today I remembered that, when I threw away the fucking chinese "1TB" External Hard Drive, I saved this blue PCB and the USB that came with it.

Couple weeks ago I got broken computers, one came with a 120GB SSD and the other with that Toshiba 320GB HDD. And I was looking to buy a SATA to USB converter, but decided to try the Chinese adapter instead.
It works!

The SSD has been formated to FAT32 in one partition, and right now I'm analyzing the Toshiba HDD, I will meddle around to see what nasty things I can find and then I'll format it.

So... it seems I got 2 Hard Drives for free.

Just last night, I gained the knowledge to fix a zipper. You know when the zipper pulls apart and you can no longer zip? That’s what I learned to fix.

Here is the video.
