Very cool, Terry!

My old Samsung TV bit the dust.

Yesterday, I received my new Samsung TV.

https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07CL4GLQW/

It's basically the same model, but six years newer.

When I have my laptop hooked up to it, I can see that the image quality is way better with the newer model.

Not everything is an improvement, however.

The new TV doesn't have a headphone jack, so I had to order a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC).

Also, the new TV's built in stand isn't as convenient as the old TV.

I haven't used the new TV very much so far, and I won't be able to until I get my DAC, so I'm sure there are other differences that I haven't noticed yet.

(I almost always watch TV with headphones.)

It's really weird not being able to watch TV because that's where I get my news.

I feel I'm out of the loop not knowing what's going on around the world.

Cool. Our 55” Samsung is 10 years old now. Still running.

Mine only lasted 4.5 years.

I should get it repaired and give it to my sister, once she has room for it.

QiYi Warrior 3x3 Jelly Cube

We are at 7 years on our Samsung 55 (actually two of them)

Hm? Whaddya gonna do wittit?

N3DSXL for hacking and adding all the NEW games to it.

Twist the heck out of it, and then solve it.

For the record, I’m not a speed cuber. It takes me about a minute to solve the 3x3x3 using the beginner’s algorithms. But it’s a lot of fun, even if I know I’ll never reach competition level.

Oh, a rubik cube. Was thinking along the line of those multicolored magnet piles…

The Bucky balls? I’d be far too paranoid that I’d lose one of them! :smiley:

Set of 216, I think, 6 colors. They all stick together, so they’re fine.

Whenever I play with ’em, I put ’em back in the 6×6×6 cube with the colors intact.

OK now I’m starting to become convinced. I guess my greatest fear is one of the balls becoming detached and ending up in my dog’s stomach. But I’m probably underestimating how strong the magnets are.

Doors. Knotty alder. One will be a pocket door.

Now to stain and clear coat them. Then install.

Oh, knotty alder….I read naughty elder. :zipper_mouth_face:

Got my first wireless earphones.

Today I received and installed some RAM for my aging desktop.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J8E93G6

It took me forever to figure out what RAM to get for my motherboard and computer situation (my desktop is overclocked quite a bit and needs high quality RAM).

The price of the RAM was $36, but has gone up since I bought it.

I didn't know for sure if the new RAM would work with the old RAM, but it did, so now my desktop has a total of 12GB instead of 4GB of RAM.

Installation was a breeze as everything worked perfectly immediately after I installed it.

I decided that I wanted to try the Glo Toob Pro AAA. Pretty expensive for what it is, but I like it. I’m sure though that the BLF pros would be able to design something better for a more budget-minded price.

I ordered this yesterday...

and received it today!

I didn't even pay for quick shipping, and I do not have Amazon Prime.

The TV stand is very nice, but today I am most impressed with the one-day free shipping.

Fiio M3K

The first DAP that I’ve bought since I got the 30GB Gen 5 iPod fourteen years ago. I realised afterwards that I have quite an intense dislike for Apple products, so I sold it again a few months later. But after reading / watching tons of reviews for the M3K, I’m convinced that I’ll enjoy this little machine. Still waiting for a pair of Sony MDR-EX650AP headphones that I ordered for it.
