What's your latest tech purchase?

cyclo 210
Care to give a mini review on that? What is the 'surprise me' feature do? Also, does it improve your overall biking experience or it more just novelty?

I just moved to another city, for now I use it to go from a to b.
In summer time I may use it for other routes, the surprise feature picks a different route everytime for you.

Then one day it'll be "SURPRISE MF Turn left now" right off a cliff LOL
 
Just bought tenda F6 2nd hand, coz i need? Not really
Why the color looks good? It will be pretty annoying if it turns into yellowish

One tp-link tl-wr841n 2nd hand too
It's kinda slow for heavy load, open it and add some heatsinks. So far it runs pretty well.

Better install a 3rd party OS on those if you're using them as routers. TP-Link should be taken to court, just like D-Link and Asus was years ago, for neglecting to issue firmware updates with security updates. Never even considered Tenda.
 
Just bought 2nd mercury MW300R
The first impression is good enough, but the firmware is in chinese

Yea, i bought it for fun, sometimes i use them then back to its box.
Actually i'm curious how well the old router from around 5 years ago handling today needs
Btw it's kinda difficult to find 3rd party firmware especially for old school router, coz limited ram and rom and you may buy newer stuff than trying to upgrade it

And too bad in here if you wanna find something that not Asus, Tp link and tenda it's little bit frustasing

Went and bought myself another Bluetooth adapter, this time from a well-known brand (I have had another one from some random Chinese maker that I don't even know what to call because quite literally there is no company name anywhere, and it was quite shitty, to be frank).

Nothing too state-of-the-art, but it will do for my needs.

Additionally, I also bought myself a Dual Shock 4.

Kinda a move to a wireless controller (ignore the cable, I'm just charging the thing lol), but in reality I was more interested in the motion sensors that for some reason are still non-existent on Xbox controllers.
 
Ordered 2 x Hardware Labs - Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTX 480, took me 2 months to find them, still looking for a 360 one which is currently unavailable Everywhere:mad:

my mom got a new phone. For ₹5,000 (under 70$), this thing is majestic with 5000mah battery, android 10 and 6.1" HD Screen, camera might not be great but it's 2gb ram and 32gb storage seems enough for basic use

she is not going to do anything more than that, it's some chinese brand called Gionee and the model is "Max", you would expect something highend by that name but it certainly is except that ram size as everything else is amazing considering the price

it's has Li-Po battery too instead of the old fashioned Li-ion which is 30% more energy efficient and signficantly better backup. Only downside is no type-c, fingerprint scanner or fast charging but it all makes sense at this price

DD-WRT or OpenWRT should do the job on at least some of those.

Proshop also had some in stock but for the prices I will pass and stick with my MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X Trio card :laugh:
 
My HD 6xx shipped yesterday. Fingers crossed it will pass through Polish customs without any fees.

HD 600 series? :confused:
 
I honestly don't know when I will get one.. I no longer have a clock on my 980 just in case I have to stretch it for another year :D
 

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX​


My GPU upgrade probably won't happen for another year or so.
 
got a few orders delivered today.
believe it or not, this is the first 1TB storage drive i have EVER had for myself.
i finally got tired of deleting one game to install another,

Finally got approval to spend some of my research grant on a much needed hardware upgrade. There's also a Sapphire Nitro+ SE 6800XT on backorder, who knows when I'll get that. I'm happy if I get it by May, to be honest.

Also made a much smaller purchase on my own:

Is that a 5800X?

New Headphone Day HD6XX

I'm gonna run it paired with my JDS Atom and IFI Zen, so far it sounds completely different than my HE4XX but those are planar.

They are good rads but I feel they where very expensive... bought 3 as they where in stock, 560mm model, love them, but damn they are a pain to fit on a table or bench table just for some testing!! :laugh:
