Got a Linksys AX5400 Wi-Fi Router E9450

Nice!

Second hand, without power supply.

Those are easy enough to find.

I have spares.

This is the third Wi-Fi unit now from Goodwill without a power supply.

That's a GoodWill find? Very nice!

I guess you just need to find the branch where they send all the power supplies.

Finally got this Note 10 Pro I was waiting for months. All thanks to Amazon and their false "in stock" practice. So I bought it in a local shop instead. It might be strange to some that I bought a new flagship phone from 2+ years ago. The reason is simple, I demand a few characteristics that only a few phones have combined, sadly. Two nano SIMs, dedicated microSD card and a 3.5mm jack are a must for my lifestyle atm. 120Hz OLED, good battery capacity and a really nice camera are a bonus.



And some trinkets for it I bought a while ago.



And yeah TPU, expect much better photos from now on!

That is actully not a bad price for an MRI machine

Yea but it's Ali Express so they're going to actually ship you an oversized toaster oven with a sticker slapped on it "GE MRI MASHENE"

I just pre-ordered these, always been a dream of mine to have top tier ANC to make the world go away whether it be traveling or sitting at my desk (construction, highway near me, basketball playing neighbors, annoying people, air conditioner, air purifier, etc)
Sony, Samsung, Apple, none of them beat the ANC of Bose, let alone the new preorder flagship, which I assume will be even better than the already reigning ANC Bose champion.

Can't wait for them to arrive, I have waited too long. I have some ANC earbuds from Samsung, but they didn't even block out the plane noise fully... these will 100%!

Hmm... Did you try one of these?

I have the kids version (just smaller cups and funny colours), and I bet you can ANC the Universe with it.

yeah I have one very similar to this, but it is not as good as ANC is. ANC creates a flip equation of the audio coming in to cancel it out, and when done well like Bose does it, makes sounds virtually gone. these types of cans only block sound to certain db levels, but you can still hear for example a sweeper running with these on, at least I can on mine, and they look similar to those. but with Bose top tier ANC, I don't be able to hear the sweeper running.
also I want to be able to enjoy audiobooks, games, movies, etc while I block out all the noise. so those won't really work for me

It was a joke... I'll just stop here.

I'm autism spectrum, I use these when I sweep the house, as I am very sensitive to hearing (most people on the spectrum are I think), mine are rated even better than the ones you linked and I can still hear the sweeper a tiny bit with these, so I am really looking forward to top tier ANC:

 

[Deleted member 229121]

I can see how something like good ANC would be wanted there - hope the Bose do the trick

Also not sure if you've tried them before, but never ever, ever use powered ear muffs.
Based on your description they would literally do the opposite of what you're looking for.

I use them at indoor ranges, but don't find that style (powered or not) comfortable for extended use.
Outside for whatever the purpose, I go with reusable earplugs rated for higher dBAs.

My £170 Galaxy A22 5G has all that. And good battery life. The cameras are average, but you can't expect perfection at this price, I guess.

Redmi note 10 pro is around €200, I'm not into Samsung nor Apple stuff. They're like a cult around here (same as Volkswagen). No proper bang for the buck. I'd probably get one of the other China brands like Realme, Infinix etc. but their specs and QC are a lackluster, also availability in Europe is a mess.
Coming from a Redmi note 8t, I'm happy as a puppy. Also, when time comes for a different kind of job for me, the Sony Xperia will be the one.

The only reason I'm with Samsung is the fact that I hate learning new UI. I used to love Xperia phones back in the Sony Ericsson days, and I wouldn't mind giving them a chance again sometime. If they had another phone with a small size and full physical keyboard (like the Xperia Mini Pro), that would be sweet!

Just downloading an update for Atomic Heart, it's done before I can make the post about its speed. The peak was 27.2MB/S, I downloaded Starfield the other day in about 2 hours, for the whole 90gb download. To put in perspective that would have taken over 2 days on my old internet dedicating the entire download stream to just downloading that game.

So you've actually tested them and verified this is true?

These at least look better than the 700s which I found pretty meh with pretty disappointing battery life for it's price class.

The spatial audio sounds interesting no actual reviews yet it seems though.

Yes i know the BX500's are garbage but I just need something for non-critical stuff

 

[unwind-protect]

Leather backed case for my Pixel 6.

The original Google case, which was 50% more expensive, is garbage.

 

[Remeca]

Got another one. 1TB this time. Was going to get a 500GB for my boot drive, but decided before I went in why not double it for just $30 more? Well, the sales guy tried that logic too, for around $60 more I could double my capacity to 2TB! Nice try buddy.

That's good logic. Why didn't you? With 2TB as a boot/OS drive, you won't need to upgrade for a few years at least. Still, that 1TB drive is excellent!
