Sadly it's broken but it still looks neat sitting on my shelf.
Received the cheap PS4 I bought about a week ago, it looks nice in white and all, just a shame it has the firmware 11.50.
I've bought plenty of games on the PSN Store so it's no biggie, but would have been nice to have it hacked.
At this point: If the seller doesn't mention the firmware, assume it's the latest.

Grabbed this for $35 on sale hoping to raid0 it at the most
Nice. I notice people tend to disregard this brand and as such, I actually got some decent SSD deals thanks to it.
Can't complain over a $35 1tb ssd though.
Is Kingston a bad/unreliable brand? I've yet to complain about it.
My ancient 64GB Kingston SSD still works to this day so, at least for me, they are completely fine. Sadly, there are probably plenty of knock-offs so you gotta be careful.

I lost the other mop. It helps me do the ceilings
Wera didn't have any game bits or the correct Y bits for Nintendo consoles, so I got the Mako set from IFixIt instead. As well as the magnet mat because it's a miracle I'm not losing more screws than I already do.
How do they work??? Quite well actually, the bits are a huge step up from the ebay crap I had previously, and the mat's magnetism is nice and strong to hold screws securely in place. Used it today to open up 4 of my game boys to deep clean all power switches. Works great, would recommend, fuck whoever designed the GBC power switch.

Nah it's just the name ifixit gave one of their sets of screwdriver & bits (I've got the same one, it's great). Just a coincidence.
Protip: whenever you buy a mop with replaceable sponge inserts like that, just go ahead and buy about 6 of those sponge refills right away. Because if you don't, by the time you wear out the first one and go to buy a new sponge, the mop will be changed to a different design, i.e. "New and Improved!" and the sponges they'll be selling will be for the new mop, not your old one.
With @AncientBoi , you really never know what he will use the mop for, he may never even use the sponge part.
I picked up a used N64 today from a garage sell ($25), w controller and SMario64 cart, works good. Me n wifey have been on a garage sell purge, going to bunch of them on weekends, you can sometimes find some cool stuff cheap. I use an app called "NextDoor" and it shows garage sales within 50 miles from me, is cool.

You're thinking of Makho, "Mako" is a type of shark, and also just what that 64 bit set is called by IFixit.
Yes you are correct. I had a brain fart for a second.

Bought a DS Rumble Pak without a sticker, and seems like it's the eWin version based on the photos. The vibration of both is described as "not very intense."
White - eWin
Black - Unbranded
The eWin was also available in black. Review here with it in black: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ewin-rumble-pak-review.46636/

@Xdqwerty yep that's what I use my stick for most anymore, streaming tv shows, movies. or even youtube. Or doing kens mum.+1 -

Xdqwerty:
@BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example+1 -

@
K3Nv2:
If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds+1 -
@
BigOnYa:
What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted

@
K3Nv2:
Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

@
K3Nv2:
For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1
-
-
@
K3Nv2:
So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

@
BigOnYa:
Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree

@
K3Nv2:
I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups

@
BigOnYa:
I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
