It looked like there was a fancy space helmet built in, I was sad to see it’s just a veil or whatever. And now I have a Victorian astronaut fetish, thanks a lot

I've had some rad stuff arrive recently! Velcro straps (for bundling / securing cables) They work great and secure my cables. Extremely cheap too. If you're still using cable ties to bundle cables, stop immediately, these are way better.  Three in one cable - standard USB to USB C, Micro USB, and Lightning This cable is amazing. It not only allows you to charge three different kinds of things at once, it also has an inbuilt USB 2.0 hub, so it gives you a data connection to all three devices at once! This is a game changer if you're a tech nerd with a lot of devices to deal with.  JCPAL USB-C PD Multiport Desktop Charger 60W This charger supports high speed charging on two USB A ports, QuickCharge 3 on one USB A port, and Power Delivery on one USB C port. So it can charge my phone, power various things, and even power my laptop! Hell yeah.  USB C PowerDelivery to MagSafe 2 cable Another great cable, this one can charge my 2015 MacBook Pro from the above charger! Sweet!  Xiaomi Desk Fan I like to have a fan on my desk. So I got this one. Its pretty great!  In other news, I've filed a dispute for an item that was not sent at all! quote:

For safety's sake don't leave your charger connected while you sleep, that is good practice even with the best chargers and especially with suspicious Chinese ones.

This was what the aligorithm recommended for my Best Life, it's actually pretty neat looking and I need a new duvet cover. But I don't think I'd trust springing for something this big without seeing one in the flesh first

Good advice in general. I've tested this one and the output is extremely clean, I think it's pretty good, but I'm using this one for while I'm out and about only anyhow. It is very hard to get chargers that I would trust outright sadly

yoloer420 posted:I've had some rad stuff arrive recently! 40pcs /lot 190mm x 21mm Cable Ties Nylon Strap Power Wire Management   I've been using these for a year now and I can throughly recommend them: they are very tough plastic and the velcro stays very strongly hooked together. Also, once you have used them, they form to the rolled up shape - when you take them off the cable, they automatically roll themselves up.

I got the "your order will be automatically closed in five days" notice for my still-MIA Freddie Mercury pin, so I asked the seller for a 30-day extension. They replied saying they contacted the post office and discovered the pin was lost in transit, so could I please file a dispute and they'd refund everything.  , but also  for a reasonable and fair seller.Now I'm leery about buying the pin anywhere else, because it's always going to be small and fiddly and easily lost in transit.
