No, only that wheel lights up.

There is one with snake lighting up, I've seen it!

Yes, most of them have snakes that light up, but not this one I bought.

This week I received a QA403 - preordered a while back:

[msuffidy]

Just picked up a used GTX 1660 ti. I got it for $100 Canadian, no tax private sale. I want to use it with a 1660 I have in the same system to try to out render my rtx 3060 I have in another PC.

**yup back from the future it works fine and the 2 cards slightly outperforms my 3060 in my main system. 52 seconds for no2 and 56 for the 3060.

Nice. I have a QA product myself - a power supply (that is now off their catalog).

Could you make a small (but with some measurements if possible) review of it one of these days?

Shahriar from TheSignalPath has a review on it if you haven't seen it.

CH341A V1.7 the green one. Even though I have T48, I still find these programmers a must have. Using AsProgrammer you can remove write protection from 25/24/95 chips. https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005004654789282.html

Well, goodies above I bought some time back, just posted pics here when it arrived. Today, just now, I bought this.




This is my 3rd attempt. Prior I attempted to buy this cam from here https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005006098771600.html and here https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005006098771600.html both sellers are crappy and did not send me the camera. I guess the price is too low.  (we kinda trade in our own currency, so it goes up and down and sometimes it makes no sense for them to sell you stuff because of price, the system is new and rusty it is still being oiled and stuff  ) That's earliest november 17th. Nothing happened.

With points after 11.11 it cost me $117. There is no customs for orders bellow 1000 euros. So I'm waiting. I hope this one sends it. Either way I'll update when it arrives or something happens and he cancels.


My microscope is ready and waiting for it.




I am expecting both output at the same time, HDMI and USB. So I'm getting a 90 degree HDMI adapter, and then when it arrives I'll get HDMI cable and USB cable, both locally. It's cheaper this way than from china.

Sensor is IMX334, I've done a lot of research before selecting this cam.

Very good deal if you have Amazon Prime. Ex UK to Aus for about the cost of a single one locally https://www.amazon.com.au/Wera-Screwdriver-Kraft-Form-Pieces/dp/B085CSVZ33

Santa said I have been good so extra pressies

You can kinda say it is related with electronics (I use them for electronic and electrical related tasks):

I snagged an HP 5370B for about 1/3rd the ridiculous price people are asking on ebay.  Works great and is pretty clean.  I have a pair of 5371s, that are nowhere near as precise, sound like jet engines, and other TICs but the 5730B is sort of the gold standard for time-interval work.

Happy Holidays!

IRWIN Tin Snip with Left Cut Offset. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HB35AY

I used them to cut small 0.8mm PCBs. Left cut are for right handed people.

Thrifting, found a 500W 110V-240V step up and down transformer. 12$ !

I got a very similar model to that a while ago for a family member with a 120V food mixer.

By memory the wires inside were a bit dodgy (damaged insulation) so I touched a few bits up before handing it on to them.

for the misis 

[elex_enthusiast]

for the misis 

Ofcourse "misters" should hand something to "misis" first if they are planning for a new toy to acquire. That is to insure approval even before asking for permission

[zapta]

Not asking for permission is ok, as long as the purchase is for the misters and not the mistresses.

good money after bad  Fedex

import taxes duties and fees

I used to think DHL were hopeless 

[SiliconWizard]

That's when you end up paying nearly twice the price, and being happy that it'll a go to funding solar roadways.

Import duties and VAT (if applicable) are set by the government. Only the admin fees differ by courier. Fedex has a surcharge if the customs declaration has more than 5 or do line items, which can add up quickly if there's lots of different items.
