![]() ![]() ![]() Okay so this one may be kind of confusing and broad but that's how I'm feeling rn soĪlso I kind of tried to portray him as the best friend but he could be the love interest if you wanted. " Thank you." I whisper before falling asleep. I start to fall asleep, and the only sounds that I can hear are a far-off siren and an angry dog. No one will miss this place for one night." He gestures around him, and I look around the abandoned motel room. " I don't know." I breathe deeply, the scent of detergent and cologne filling my lungs. " Where would you rather be?" He asks, as if he'd simply take me wherever I said. " That doesn't mean I'm not sorry." He puts an arm around me, and I fall into his side. You know that." I wipe at my eyes, trying to calm down. I think $120 is too much, although better than the $165 I paid (for what I guess is now a less advanced version) back in 2015, lol." It's not your fault. I ended up "giving" it to a buddy who plays PS4 and Xbox, he seriously loves this gizmo, it's a subtle but real qualitative difference in his games.īut I admit Marseille's marketing is too much, they try too hard to make it look like a lot more than it is, if I'd never heard of it before I would automatically think the reviews are sockpuppets and their website overhypes snake oil. I was unimpressed by having to constantly swap the HDMI cable (on both ends) whenever I changed signal sources, and I was not about to buy three more of them, I was happy to discover I didn't really need to keep doing this when I got a newer/better TV and Blu-Ray player. ![]() I was actually impressed by how it "cleaned up" quality on Telus Optik HDTV and playback of old DVDs. It's just less mysterious because the user has to actually hit some buttons or slide things around in OSD to activate these "enhancements". High-end monitors and TVs often do voodoo of this sort, too. Be aware of "low-profile", "left-handed", and "right-handed" versions when needed. These sorts of things can be purchased everywhere online. Many a build (and many a builder) have suffered greatly for want of such a simple thing when crowded parts just don't fit. Sometimes they even have flexible hinges. (also bits and bobs British English ) ( informal) small things of various kinds belongings: She let me store a few bits and pieces in her apartment while I was abroad. Almost every kind of plug or cable ever made has some kind of angle adapter. Savvy PC builders/modders know about PCIe risers/extenders yet many have never imagined angle adapters for USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, SATA, etc. Why is this low-end junk here? Basic "SSD performance" which still beats any HDD when you need something rock-bottom cheap: $10 (8GB), $14 (16GB), and $18 (32GB) on Newegg. Old JMicron controller and old Toshiba MLC rated performances up to 219MB/s Read, 52MB/s Write, and 3905 IOPS rated longevity 8 years or 1000000 hours. In 8GB, 16GB, and whopping 32GB capacity. ![]() KingDian S100 1.8"/2.5" SATA2 SSD and KingDian M100 mSATA2 SSD. Tons of them on eBay and Alibaba, many are cheap and small and slow (and legacy), but some have merit. And they open options for crowdy mobile devices or tight SFF builds. I've plugged them into broken RAIDs before, lol, fill the gap until a replacement SSD arrives. They're pocket-portable backup/system/install drives, they can boot systems which can't boot USB/PCIe/M.2/U.2/etc. Basically the same thing as a USB flash drive, except instead of a USB port it plugs into a SATA or PATA or Floppy port while reporting to firmware as a "normal" fixed drive. Not a standard, so it actually takes many different forms. This "form factor" is largely unknown to consumers but has been used by enterprise folks for years. "Disk On Module" or "Flash Module" drives Other models/variants with different features available. Widely available, about two bucks each on Amazon or eBay. XH-W1209 Digital Thermostat Control ModuleĪ small PCB (48mm x 40mm) with terminals for 12V power and 12V/5A relay, (programmable) STM8S003F3P6 chip, 3-digit numeric LED.Ĭomes with one 10K/1% NTC thermistor probe.ĭisplays temps (-50C to +110C in 0.1C increments), can power the relay ON/OFF at user set values, provides real-time hardware temp monitor and control of attached fans/pumps/coolers. Great for consoles and DVD players, less useful on powerful GPUs or Blu-Ray players. They actually do noticeably improve image quality, up to 4K, but most especially at low- and mid- resolutions. Marseille mCable Cinema Edition and Marseille mCable Gaming EditionĪn HDMI cable with an embedded "Intelligent Pixel Processor" that provides contextual antialiasing, enhanced contrast, and enhanced detail/sharpness. But it's sometimes handy stuff, nonetheless. And it's rarely found at PC modding sites like FrozenCPU, modDIY, Xoxide, or Mnpctech. Some weird odds and ends, "DIY" parts, and neat tech which I've found interesting or sometimes useful in PC builds, media, and gaming. ![]()
