Superlight 2 Dex to replace the G502 X, lighter and no rubber texture. Really happy with the Lemokey P1 HE from my custom Tofu65, an upgrade in every area at a much lower price from when I built it. Going to run the portable as a vertical secondary to a 27" 4K, discord, spotify, build guides, random video stream.
Edit: portable monitor arrived, couldn't run with single USB-C, will get different 90 deg orientation adapters for both later.

Hey there! 👊 Guess what? It’s my first Mac 💻! I’m so excited because that MacBook Pro is going to be a lifesaver. I’m really digging the promotion display, the iPhone mirroring, and the fact that I can customise it to run VMs for my work apps like Siemens NX, and also dive into my favourite Roblox games like Super Bomb 💣 Survival, destroy the neighbourhood and super doomspire. Plus, it’s got enough power to handle Xcode, CAD software like F360 and AutoCAD, and so much more! Even multitask and double it up by playing games and doing my work on the same time!
I’m also curious, do you have any tips for someone like me who’s switching from Chromebook and Windows to Mac? Your advice would be awesome! !
The problem with most weather stations is that they're read-only. I'm looking for one that lets me set the outside temperature.
It sounds like you already have it under control
I'll be looking forward to your posts in the forums, but I have a feeling you'll be the one answering questions in no time...👍
3 summer T-shirts as the necks are falling apart on some of mine (which will become gardening clothes). The older gardening clothes will be rags.
Some lightweight summer socks as mine have holes and are threadbare. They will become rags.
Some vest tops and underwear for Mrs AFB as they are also falling apart. These will become rags.
Yup that's the first of the clothes shopping we've done in around 2 years. Hopefully be another 2 years before we have to do anymore.

@goldmac2006 After reading the post from @Lioness~ , I felt bad because I had no specific tips to offer you.
My answer to your original question was meant to complement your skills in learning as opposed to brushing you off. I base this opinion on your posts.
I did not intend to be flippant or offend you.
Looking forward to your questions as well as your usual array of helpful posts in the forums

I am still getting what I need out of my 14 Pro Max so I am most likely going to hold out for iPhone 18 pro...or at this rate maybe just look at other options since iPhone has not really made any huge upgrades that interest me in years...
Just placed an order of these 4" BT Speakers.
If they are as good as I've heard, I'll at leats buy another set of 5" to another room.

I said I wouldn't.......but I went and done it....... lol
This one lives in the shed outside though - complete with a smart plug so I can switch it on, and can monitor etc remotely, then switch off once cooled. So I only go out there to collect the print in other words. And no-one at home moans if I leave it to print overnight! lol
Will most likely pick up another AMS unit for the second nozzle so I can have all my main colours loaded at all times for even better remote printing!
I have a Prusa CORE one that in my office in the house, which I will keep and use for prototyping etc.

Bought a Logitech Pebble keyboard and mouse
Absolutely wonderful Speakers!
As soon as I’ve sold off the HomePods & mini’s. I’ll by a set of 5” of these BT speakers, to another room.
Elac Debut 3.0 B5.3, been wanting to change audio setup for a while. Going to be using an old Rotel RA-840BX3 to power, if that dies might replace with a Yamaha A-S301.
Edit: arrived yesterday

I always had ROTEL amps, one I gave to my parents (RA-12) and still working well. I use KEF speakers with A14MKII, though.
Picked up on launch day. Nice upgrade from the PSP 😝
A 300B integrated amplifier, finally replacing the much beefier push-pull tube amplifier I had, but sold before moving countries. It’s only 8w per channel but sounds lovely.
Bought 4th gen AirPods with ANC. Solid improvement compared to my AirPods 3
1971 Porsche 917/20 Le Mans 3 hour race, Drivers: Willi Kauhsen, Reinhold Joest. In the Porsche factory test colour scheme which most of their race cars started with. A simple black Porsche “schriftzug” on white.
4907cc 180° V12, 600hp/8300rpm
Top speed 355km/h
The so called “Big Bertha” because of its impressive girth. So wide was Bertha that it needed to be transported on a special Magirus truck. Unfortunately “Bertha Sau” as an aerodynamics experiment was not successful, it didn’t handle as expected and top speed was some 30km/h short of similarly engined 917LH models.
In the actual 1971 Le Mans poor old Bertha was crashed by Reinhold Joest. She survives today in the Porsche Museum resplendent in Anatole Lapine’s pink pig butchers paper livery. This colour scheme didn’t sit well with senior folks in Porsche (eg Piech) but garnered huge publicity. The public were captivated by the rotund looking 917/20.
1969 Porsche 917-001 Langheck
4494cc 180° V12 with 520hp/8000rpm
Top speed 340km/h
This was the one time livery when the car was shown at the announcement of the Porsche and JW Automotive Engineering collaboration at a hotel in London, then shown at Earls Court Motorshow and also another motor show in Vienna.
The aero trim tabs at the front were a bit of a failure. Although they helped with downforce they were frequently broken off due to “enemy contact” (impacts with other cars). At the back, the moving spoilers connected to the rear suspension didn’t work properly because the coke-bottle body shape at the back generated lift and minimised the effect of the spoilers. The original 1969 917 was a dangerous handling car. At high speeds it wandered across the track and would swerve unpredictably when going over crests or bumps. It’s fair to say that the drivers were scared of it. More recently Derek Bell declined to drive 917-005 (the rebuilt John Woolfe car) at Le Mans classic. Woolfe crashed and wrote off the car on the opening lap of the 1969 Le Mans and died in the accident. The car was subsequently rebuilt some years ago with the original chassis number.
Both are 1:18 scale.
Note: it is technically correct to call the engine 180° V12 due to its configuration. It doesn’t behave like a “boxer”.

A slim pink leather sleeve for my MacBook Pro 💻 M4.
Got another one, 1970 Porsche 917-022 Kurzheck
Gulf-Porsche (JW Automotive Engineering).
This was the shape of 1970 that corrected the aerodynamic issues of the dangerous 1969 car, the ramp shaped bodywork at the back was the key - at one circuit in Austria it brought a 5 second per lap improvement and the drivers loved it, rather than fearing it.
