Welp, new Raspberry Pi 3 B+ released today, and I've been meaning to get a Pie for ages so I decided to just buy this one.

EDIT: Along with this, I decided to opt for this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BXLXD8/

And I ordered 2 64GB micro SD Cards. One for my Vita's psvsd (finally) and one for the Pi 3 B+

Sorry, I'll have to confiscate that RPi3B+

Welp, got hired to work on another site semi-related to the stuff I do now, and so I asked for a new work laptop to replace my currently dying Surface Book...and finally, they agreed

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-env...sh-in-dark-ash-silver/6124570.p?skuId=6124570 <

Mainly chose this for the new-ish Raven Ridge APU, the Ryzen 5 2500u, so I can check out mobile Ryzen and give it a try.

Not a bad laptop for the price, $620 for Ryzen 5 2500u, 8GB of DDR4, 1TB HDD, 360° 1080p touch screen. I'll probably end up grabbing a small M.2 SSD to plop in there for a boot drive eventually, as it has an M.2 slot (though I think it's just SATA, so no NVMe speeds )

Had this old crusty Atari Sears Light Sixer & games gave to me out of a garage for free today. I tested it out soon as I got home to see if it worked. I got to work on the first try but the reset button didn't work, so I couldn't actually start any games. After taking it apart I found like 6 cracked solder joints on the reset switch. After reflowing the joints it works great, even cleaned up nicely. Pcb cracked joints\Game pics in spoiler.

Also purchased the Super UFO 8 Snes Save backup thing, haven't received it yet. I'm mainly just looking to backup afew saves before I loose them.

So I went to pick up the new Attack on Titan game AND LOOK WHAT I FOUND AAAAHHH

Been looking for them everywhere since they came out and they were either sold out or had scalper prices, so finding them in a store just sitting there at retail price was unbelievable.

An old Phat Ps3 that can't read discs for $10. I hacked it and it can play backups now.

Niiicccceeee. Refurbing this stuff is one of my favorite parts....soaking the shell, getting at the sticks & paddles with soapy water and a toothbrush, etc.

Yeah I spent alittle time cleaning the console, not sure what the best method is but on Atari I like to use armorall after cleaning, really makes it stand out.

Some of my older collecting buddies SWEAR by Armor All, but I'm not a fan of it. (I've seen the effects of it years later, making various vintage materials sticky, tacky, slimy, and even breaking down surfaces in some instances.)

For Atari stuff, the shell can be soaked (toothbrush & soap are GREAT for those grooves) and the paddles & sticks can be taken apart and soaked, as well. With a bit of elbow grease you can have it all SHINING.
Have fun!

Fun fact: Back in the late 70s, my older brother discovered that you can replace the red joystick button with a common ChapStick cap!

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't aware of the long term effects.
