Since they are wireless, is there any issue with noise/hissing when audio is quiet or not present?

I have a set of these. Mine has a very faint electrical whine when sound isn't playing.

Really wish the battery life was better. They'll work all day long if I'm just browsing the internet or youtube, but if I'm gaming they'll die in about 3-4 hours.

I guess its also good, cause you should probably go outside after 3-4 of straight video games.

Actually this is the best cheap(ish) ballpoint

$7 for 1, 2 pack for $12 on prime. I dare you to try one and tell me it's inferior to any other cheap ballpoint.

Ah, the tablet is reversible. That's an entirely different kettle of fish and it's making a lot more sense now. For some reason my brain had locked onto it swiveling all the way around at first and when informed it doesn't do that, I just assumed the only way to use it as a tablet was undocked. This is better.

It's kind of reversible. You have to undock the tablet, flip it around and then dock it again. Then you're basically just closing the laptop like normal.

I sold all my stuff and told my job I'm quitting in two weeks, going to go backpack Southeast Asia, so I bought the "I'm going to try being a travel writer and then give up on it in a few days" pack.









At least I'll be able to take some pretty pictures.

The original plan was to move back to the UK from the US, the backpacking trip got tacked on cause why not. I'll do it until I run out of the money I put aside for travelling.

My first post will start with "Life? What is life? Who gets to decide what we do in our li-" and then throw my laptop into a lake.

The laptop is more to build up a web development portfolio during downtime while traveling, so when I'm finished I'll still have some resemblance of a current skill set.

Bought an Inspiron 13 7000 2 in 1 to be able to test my web dev stuff on a large touchscreen (definitely for that, not for Netflix in bed...).

I'm really surprised by how much I like it. The trackpad is actually really good for a Windows laptop, and the battery life is great.

Picked up the i7 version.

I got a Steam Link to put in my bedroom so I can game in comfort and at a reasonable resolution.

The old rear end desktop i'd been using as a HTPC in there had it's HDMI-out poo poo the bed so running from a VGA output where the TV only allowed 1024x768 has been killing me.

Hoping I can also link VLC and Chrome as a 'game' into my steam library and stream everything i need, thus eliminating the need for the busted old desktop completely.



I don't know if Steam Link supports apps, but I would check to see if you can set up a Plex server, it's awesome.

Bought an eBike (Himiway Cruiser) to replace my dirtbike so I can explore the mountains but also not be fat anymore at the same time.

This must be what fit people feel like when they ride. Super fun, tricks you into exercising, I rode around for longer than I've exercised in years.

Best $350 i ever spent. 9 week old lab retriever/border collie mix. Already peed in my kitchen.

Also, I've spent an obscene amount of money transitioning from a life hopping from airbnbs and owning nothing, to having a place I'm gonna stay, so I'm gonna dump a whole bunch of stuff here cause no one else but you nerds cares.

Luna Z-1 Enduro emtb


New standing desk, studio monitor speakers and piano to start making terrible music again.


A whole bunch of ryobi power tools because I made the mistake of buying some lawn equipment from them and now I'm in the system.


Updated my monitor with a 32" 1440p


Also, not pictured: A stupidly overpriced house rental, a DJI Mavic Air 2s, Oculus Quest 2, furniture/electronics for the house, Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera with a big ol 24-200 lens on it to take photos of mountains.

Fuckin' antidepressants, stop pulling me out of a 10 year slump and making me like doing things again, its expensive.

Does a donation to a rescue count?

I got a puppy a bit ago (I think I posted him here too) and finally realized why everyone told me it was a bunch of work, ended up brining him back to the shelter to hopefully go with a family that can give him 24/7 attention. Saw this girl on petfinder and couldnt help myself. Year old blu heeler/australian stubby tail mix, about a year old. Has all the basic training down and is the most chill dog I've ever met, its so good, she's sleeping on my bed right now




I bought her a bunch of toys and treats as well.

I had a very expensive electric mountain bike that I was too nervous to to take anywhere I had to leave it, decided to sell it and get a commuter that can handle some forest roads.

Thinking about changing out the bar wrap for something that matches the seat color.
