Spent money I probably shouldn't have and got me some shiny new things for Christmas... namely, a 4K TV and a GTX 1080.

More specifically, these two:

LG Electronics 43UH6100

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX

I also got a Corsair H60 AIO to improve CPU temps and unblock some of my RAM slots which I previously had filled before I downgraded to a smaller case and had to downgrade to a smaller cooler. I also got a handful of other odds and ends to streamline my media setup a bit... cables, shelves, etc.

The thread is for what you have purchased, not what you might purchase.

Puma Tazon 6 for my son.

Apparently finding decent looking size 7 shoes in Fargo isn't possible without paying two arms and half a leg because you're stuck between kids (which top out around size 6) and men's (which start around size 8).

His shoes lasted a whole 4 months before he outgrew them so I ordered him another pair, exactly the same, only larger.

And also this:

I wasn't going to buy it since I have it for the PS3 but for $25, I figured why not.

Ain't nothing fancy, just something to (hopefully) tide me over until I can get an OEM charger.

^ One of these too. In medium.

Actually amazed there's 'Jersey' as a delivery destination. Was this just for me?

 

[daan]

I've bought one of those T-shirts too.

Also got this today.

And one of these the other day.

2 more 20kg plates, now I don't have to switch plates as often and it looks much better too.
Need only 4 more. Those are not cheap.

I have spent quite a bit of money. I've forgotten what I even bought in the past two days.

That was $577 for MSRP, but I got it knocked to about $234. It's serious gear.

I need a new phone. My Moto X 2013 has no working screen, cracked screen (exposed circuit board due to chunks of glass flying out) non functioning audio jack, poor data transfer via USB.

One Plus One. May not be up to date, but it's certainly better than what I have and I consider it a bargain for $150

I bought a generic sling bag for quick coffee runs. All I need it to fit is a few notebooks, phone charger, battery bank and pens + a few other small things.

I also bought a ton of clothes from H&M and Old Navy + some other Christmas gifts for my family.

Time to get a haircut so I don't go home looking like the scruffy mess I have been for a few months.

Bought one of those new fancy t-shirts people keep talking about.

Is there a possibility to buy the Shirt and thong in one go? I want to represent GTP the best way possible and look sexy at the same time.

I was under the impression the GTP thong was already your preferred undergarment?

I tried to create a GTP shaped stain in my tidy whities but it started to smell after a week or so.

A new Laptop. Why I bought a new one just 4 months after I bought the first one? In short: Lenovo refused to repair my Laptop so we have got the money back.

Specs:
- i5-6200U processor
- NVIDIA GeForce 920MX 2GB
- 8GB DDR4 RAM
- Full HD display

 

[DG_Silva]

Why did Lenovo refuse to repair under warranty?

Why did Lenovo refuse to repair under warranty?

They pretty much said that I broke the laptop intentionally. But, after many conversations with the Customer Support of the electronics store I bought the Laptop, they put the pressure on Lenovo. They then said they are going to repair it, which they didn't.

 

[Grayfox]

Pretty much the final pieces of the puzzle

Sounds like Lenovo, sadly. Very good and well built stuff, but lousy customer support.

OK continuing Wifi issues, your time has come. Even though I've moved home my Asus DSL-N66U router is still not powerful enough to cover the new house. The TP-Link plug extenders are very inconsistent so I resorted to calling in a network engineer. After running through the options with him, the cost of recabling the entire property with CAT6 or fibre cables was ridiculously expensive, so I thanked him, paid for the hour and sent him on his way.

So, I've conducted my own research and purchased these:

Netgear Orbi base station and satellite. They communicate across their own 5GHz stream to extend the network meaning that there is little or (as they claim) no loss in speed as they don't use up any Wifi bandwidth. Each one can cover 2,000sq feet so I'm starting with these and adding more as needed. My house is about 4,000sq feet of steel, glass and granite so we'll see what happens.

This had better work as the idea of cabling data ports or using routers powerful enough to microwave the kids heads doesn't bear thinking about.

I have bought some boots. They cost me an arm and a leg, but I was in need of a pair. Also this style is adequate to use the chinos that I have.

 

[TB]

They cost me an arm and a leg

Then why did you buy boots?

 

[TheCracker]

Then why did you buy boots?

With just one leg the boots will last him twice as long. Result 👍
