my latest purchase. been after one for a while and i wanted the butterscotch finish but this came up on facebook marketplace at the right price.
 
- A USB Bluetooth 5 Stick , i ditnt got to run yet on the Phytian ( i will look maybe next weekend)..
- A blue Flipcase for my White Switch OLED, works quite good so far, only the Cover over the Screen dosnt hold that good (the Magnetic Part where its atached to the Case works good, but on the other side, its just a Hook..)
- A Victorinox Dual Knive Sharpener, its meant for the case when my Pocketknives lost its sharpness, or for the Kitchen Knives, but i ditnt used it yet, by the way: Its Made in Germany which is interesting, as Victorinox is a Swiss Brand
- Delonghi Koffee Machine Decalc Fluid, ditnt arrived yet, but i think its based on milk acid, not that speacial, but its needed once in a month.., one pack lasts maybe a half Year..
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4k Max, as it should need a bit less Power than the Phytian just for Youtube, and i ditnt got Chromium whit Videfine to run, so maybe such a TV Stick Streaming Device might be a good idea, also for Netflix, Prime, Disney, Chrunshyroll etc.., ditnt arrived yet..
 
Bought a set of "foam and foil" capacitive pads from texelec.com that allowed me to fully restore the keyboard for a Compaq Plus portable. The original pads from 1983 were in poor condition, only about a quarter of the keys actually worked. The new pads restored every key to full function, allowing me to fully enjoy the convenience and power of an 8088 processor and 10 MB of hard drive storage.

A Framework i5 ”DIY” laptop, which comes with a free screwdriver. The DIY is stretching it a little as I only needed to install RAM the SSD and the thunderbolt/USB module thingibobs.

Lol, you probably have never heard of him, and/or are perhaps too young, but that just reminded me of the Remington guy.

It's great. I've got Arch up and running smoothly on it now, and the screen in particular is awesome (even with minor hinge wobble). Actually everything feels like a huge step from my trusty X220, although I do miss the nub.

A padded grippy case for Switch (lite). That's right, I spent $15 on a Switch case. Judge me.
