I’m still rocking a Xs

I hate that people feel they have to upgrade, it’s not too bad when a phone is cheap, but when they cost £1k and up it’s a different story.

The cheapest new iPhone here is about £400-£500. Refurbishment was £100. It’s a no brainer for me.

I hate to see what happens to all the cheap electric cars people have “upgraded” to when in 10 years time they all crap out and become driveway decorations.

Been waiting on the Pixel 9 to come out so I could replace my Pixel 5....

Slower gameplay, with better AI defense...

Finally a 4K UHD Release of “Galaxy Quest”

Ordered from the US as the EU/UK version was overdubbed to lower the age rating.

A pair of Lightforce Stiker Spotlights for the Jimny.
They're not too big so they wont look out of place.
Also got the patch lead, security bolts and filters and some switches for the jimny from aliexpress.

It’s kind of funny seeing their mouths say something that clearly isn’t the same as the audio.

Haul for today:

 

[RYAN]

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D AM4 Processor - 100-100001503WOF

Available at CCL - AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D. 3.0GHz, 8 cores, 16 Threads, 100MB Cache & 105W TDP. Fits in Socket AM4 motherboards. No Cooler Included. , Mfg Code: 100-100001503WOF

www.cclonline.com

This will be my last AM4 upgrade most probably. I'll resell my Ryzen 5 5600X to recoup roughly half of the price so it seemed like a good deal. I will be able to keep my Power supply and my Be Quiet! Shadowrock 3 cooler should be more than enough so it should be nice and simple. I've got my eyes on an Asus Dual 4070 Super in the next month or two to replace my Asus Dual 4060.

Is the performance gain worth the cost of the upgrade?

Is the performance gain worth the cost of the upgrade?

Probably not 😄 As far as I've read for the most part there's a notable increase in gaming performance although some games will take advantage of the V Cache more than others. Some will like faster clock speed of the 5600X in rare circumstances. After quite a bit of reading for how much it cost me I think it was worth it. Like I said I'm trying to squeeze out as much performance now before I have to switch to AM5.

5800X3D would have been great but considering I have other upgrades to do I felt the 5700X3D was a decent compromise.

I recently had a conversation with a coworker about classic gaming systems. We got to talking about handhelds, the Switch came up, and I went off on a tangent about how the PSP was way ahead of its time, and it and the Vita paved the road for the Switch(Yes I know the Gameboy exists, I stand by my argument).

Anyway, turns out there are a ton of sellers on eBay with storefronts selling refurbished PSPs and PS Vitas for pretty decent value. So I ordered a second gen PS Vita(PCH-2000), installed a few lightweight games(still waiting for SD card and adapter for the big stuff), and it holds up surprisingly well for a 10 year old handheld.

I would have liked a PSP if only for the satisfying click of the UMD tray locking closed, but I decided two joysticks was enough to make the Vita worth it.

And finally, because it's hilarious, here's what the Vita's camera can do:
