What have you bought recently?

How long has your order taken to arrive? Could still get a Lite with 4G, hmm. I kinda need a new toy that doesn't blow the bank and have been eyeing this for a long time now.

I've seen somebody on YT install an external antenna in the recess on the upper backside. Fit nicely and looked as if it was intended.
Can't find that exact video right now, it was similar to this

I ordered on Jan 12 2024, and order shipped on Aug 11 2024. Yes, I am too considering trying external antenna. I have found few cheap ones in amazon.
 
I found cheap dipole antenna which connected directly with ufl connector of cm4 module, solving my wifi/bluetooth issue.

Did preeorder an Iphone 16, Blue whit 512gb, (so no Picture yet),
Also bought allready an Magsafe Compatible Phone Case for it, whit Stand feature,
and an 10.000 mah Anker Magsafe Powerbank which can attached to an Iphone via MagSafe Magnets and will charge it Cable Less whit 15 Watts .., did allready test this whit my Iphone XR: its charges, but as its only QI1 Wireless Charging Iphone, its dosnt attach..

As my Car Seats are quite dusty because i had long time an Jack Wolfskin Jacket that losts lots of Parts from its Material, i did order an small Handheld Vakkum Cleaner which can get used whit Makita 18V Batteries, as well as an Makita 18 V USB Charger: It can get attached to an 18 V Batterie, and it will Charge your Devices whit USB and USBC.. (lets hope this is safe),
And an 2 m USBA to USBC Cable for my Car, as this new Iphone dosnt take Lightning ..

I will make Pictures as soon as i get stuff or get some time for it..
 
Bought some kind of place mat - I think it' intended for painting with watercolors - for 99 eurocents at our local dollar store "TEDI". Makes for one great mousepad. Replaces an old Razer one that was not too dissimilar texture-wise, but with an expensive logo and adhesive pre-applied to the bottom. That one cost 35 € a few years ago and was considerably smaller. This is huge, glides like something lubed and is already unobtrusively fastened with clear tape. Love it. And I won't cry tears of monetary loss when I inadvertently drop cigarette embers on it.

What keyboard is that ? Seems to have all the extended keys + numeric keypad, but smaller.

Those are called TKL, ten-key-less. This is the Coolermaster Quickfire TKL. Well I guess the name is irritating and kind of wrong since different vendors have their own way of doing things in that space.

Just a week ago I tried a Chinese 60 % keyboard (that is relabelled and sold at Mediamarkt for more than three times the price but hey) and that's the perfect size for ergnomics, especially while gaming, because I have more room for the mouse and don't have to splay my shoulders so much. That aspect was great with that kb. But everything else was bad. Apart from the awfully inflated price there was audible PWM dimming of the LEDs and when considering ease of access of the Fn+ combinations they actually gave ergonomic priority to everything LED, LED color and LED speed instead of Home, End, PgUp, PgDn... infuriating. Also you would reset layers on the keyboard just by using more or less common key combinations. Maddening. Sorry to go off on a rant.

Just today I unboxed a vertical mouse and three different ergo keyboards for colleagues to try out for a few days. Good ergo is important. RSI sucks. I sit like a cave man in front of my PC at home.

Not bought but i was given an electric scooter recently, was going to the dump. I was told it needed a battery.
The battery shows signs of being wet and a 36V battery giving less than 1 V is dead. I already have 30 good batteries with greater capacity so a rebuild then to see what else is not working. Scooter seems to be a Xiaomi M365. A new gasket , charging port and a base plate from AliExpress for under $20 AUD. hopefully i can get it working and possibly use it or sell it and make a few bucks..
 
Some AirPods 4, an Protectioncase for them, but it’s mostly for its lanyard hole
And the Olight Perun 2 Mini which is basically a small flashlight whit the LED orientated to the side;
This way it’s useful as an normal flashlight but also usable as an Headlamp whit the included Headband or you can put it to your T-Shirt ..
