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.

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.

I lost the other mop. It helps me do the ceilings

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. B-)
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.

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/
