Oh.... and these too!
Nothing worse than when your eyes start streaming or your visor fogs up at 70kph.... can be a real bum clencher sometimes!
512gb SSD, 2x8GB sodimm ddr3 RAM kit, solder sucker + wick, Mimas v2 FPGA 🤗🤗
It was all late Christmas/Bday presents for myself tho so now it's time to go back to being a broke student 😔
I've got this beauty, just recently. It is the experimental version of the upcoming P2 MCU, from Parallax. It is quite a beast!
Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço
Just ordered a new car...
It's gonna look like this:
http://www.trdparts.jp/noah/aero1.htmlYeah, it's a hybrid minivan, but at least I got to option in the TRD bodykit and factory lowered springs.
I have a lot of Xcelite 99 series bits. I have wanted a ratcheting driver. I found this one at a hamfest that was not functional and the guy was asking $50 for it. I did some looking again yesterday and found it on Amazon for $55 and is supposedly in stock. Arrival is supposed to be Feb 8th. We will see.
Ordered this from Amazon on Wednesday and it was delivered on Friday. Pretty amazing considering I chose the "Free Shipping" option.
::mumbles:: I believe you have my stapler. ::mumble::
What's the proper packing for SODIMM sockets? A good question! Apparently, this is acceptable, thanks farnell!
Wow, that's atrocious.
They used to be in trays when I bought them in bulk but that was 168 pin DIMM, 72 and 30 pin SIMM.

Oh, they do come in trays or reels. Just for some mysterious reason some person decided that this could work as well.
Looks like you were delivered ALL the bent pins...

I received this microphone element and earphone element just thrown into a poly bag.
They arrived with the microphone stuck to the magnet in the earphone element.
I complained to the vendor (FullCompass)
And I am going to complain again if the earphone element doesn't work.
I bought a new wireless router. It should get delivered today.
https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/TL-WR841N.htmlI've been using a Rosewill for years now which recently has started dropping the WiFi connection. It only happens occasionally, but I'm guessing it'll just get worse. That's how it went with its predecessor, a Linksys WRT-54 something. I suppose it could be the wireless adapter in the PC and not the router, don't know really because to reconnect I always have to reboot both.
I've had an Edgerouter-X sitting around for over a year that I bought just because it was on sale, but it has no wireless capability. Ubiquiti has access points you can add, but they're expensive and have other drawbacks. So I'm hoping I can somehow get this TP Link to do the same thing but much more cheaply. At $19.99 shipping included, if it doesn't work I haven't lost much.
After about four years of continuous work I had some weirdness and connection drops with my router, only to find its plugpack was slowly giving up (it was enclosed with lots of equipment in a quite hot environment). I ended up replacing it with one of the high quality ones I had and it has been steady since then (five years ago).
Just scored an old VT220 from the office.
Oh, and is someone missing a stapler?
That's a nice little terminal. Good score.

Orange phosphor CRT?
The CRT case still looks pretty good. But the keyboard has oxidized.
There are several videos on YT about de-oxidizing old plastic cases.
I just bought another 2 used Xcelite 991R ratcheting handles like the one in a previous post. They come with some crusty hex drivers which will promptly get pitched as I have far more of them than I need and some nut drivers. Even has a 30 day return. All for the price shipped I paid for the new one. Two handles will go in my toolbag for work and one will be kept in the house. This will give the excuse to bring some of the drivers out of my van and use them on my workbench.
Just got given one of these. A CI-94 Oscilloscope from Russia (1984). It's in perfect physical condition, looks like it was just taken out of the box, but I won't be turning it on until I've
checked replaced those Russian electrolytics from the 80's. Strangely, the early ones (including the one I got) used a DIN connection for the probe instead of BNC.
Difficult to see in the picture (not my actually device), but it's tiny, the front is only 9cm x 18cm!

Got this broken Advantest R6161 voltage current source in this morning, I am trying to fix it.

Holy *f*. That's a lot of money burned. Someone's getting the sack. Not you and a sorry sack of SODIMMs.
I bought some antique logic analyzer accessories.

OK, another farnell curiosity. This time the exact opposite!
We bought 300 pins. Each pin is 0.02 EUR. I do not want to know how much the packaging cost them (not us).

They have machines to help. Assuming a good surface to work on I'd guess it'd take an hour to get all those pins depackaged, even if you had someone on minimum wage it would be cheaper to call them and get them to deliver another set packaged less stupidly.

Or just throw them into a bucket of acetone and fish the terminals out when the plastic has melted?

The minimum wage in Slovakia is not the same as it is in Australia

I fixed it, replaced a severely leaking lithium battery and cut off a shorted TVS (Semitec Z6018) on the +15V power rail.
