Amidst shredding my concept art and project design discs for the never-to-be-finished FGR Eternity Project™ (oldest ones dating back to 2001), I actually came across intact classic & proper keyboard and mouse rests instead of the duct-taped monstrosities that my current ones have turned into.

Of course, I can't start using those nice ones just yet - got to wait until the duct-taped ones finally give out for good.

They have. That’s what “given out for good” looks like.

Speaking of which, these "nice" ones also look a bit like they've given out for good! :v:

I also hate how the only keyboard rest that looks even vaguely similar to those classic ones is stupid-expensive (and out of stock) in this country https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/5539/xgsg/3M-WR420-Geelirannetuki-nappaimistolle-musta-nahkajaljitelma?list=OZCYkRhkPRk9CU0qhXlgwK9usq5kKNH5xwajCF1K2N24e05X9LDR

Due to my parents' health collapsing earlier this year, I took these old computers under my care when they had to move to a smaller apartment:

To my annoyance, however, it seems like USB floppy disk drives are incompatible with Windows 10 so I can't make a boot disk for the Mac Plus which it's probably gonna need (can't remember if Mac Plus could have the boot stuff on external HDDs such as the ones in that photo). Boh!

As for my latest actual purchase instead of an acquisition, I got these shoes for the summerfallspring

https://www.varusteleka.fi/fi/product/salomon-xa-forces-mid-gtx-mustat/58236

So far they're pretty good (I've got bad luck with shoes so who knows how long these'll manage to last, tho')

Speaking of that mouse (Logitech G305), I guess I don't even play JK or DX enough because only today (after 2.65 months of having had the mouse) the battery has gone from full bars to ... 2 bars:

Also, I realized that the Nikon D3000 camera I've got is too old to not have direct battery recharging by plugging it into my computer via USB, so I had to get this gizmo https://www.digitarvike.fi/product/101337/usb-laturi-nikon-en-el9--micro-usb

i'm pretty sure even the current models don't do in camera battery charging... they all come with an external charger...

which i almost never use now that i have one the runs off usb and charges 2 batteries, far more convenient than the one it came with that likes to fall out of every outlet in the house

I think the battery door and contacts is rated for more cycles than the usb connector or something like that

Ah, for some reason I thought USB charging was the norm these days.

... Well, mainly since my Sony WH-10000XM3s are charged via USB and those headphones are pretty damn great.

It definitely is for lots of stuff, just not fancy cameras. My Canon C100 I probably don't really need had removable batteries.

I was also surprised that the Logitech G305 uses AA batteries instead of USB charging, but I guess it's a "non-issue" since a regular battery lasted 2.5 months (with barely no gaming, though) with it. Gonna try a lithium-ion battery next.

Not these batteries, though (granted that they were in their unopened package for 7-8 years, but eh):

iPhone 11, 128 GB.

I've had an iPhone 6 that served me well for over 5 years. I do miss the home button and headphone jack. Still, iPhones are probably the only Apple product that I would be willing to buy.

It's a shame that Cherry MX Blue/Silent mechanical keyboards with a numpad and no egregious extra keys on the left don't seem to exist in wireless form, then I could get rid of the bulky keyboard cable as well:

Anyway, received the 4TB WD RED HDD for my other computer (not shown in picture):

Here's hoping that me copying the contents from my external backup drives to it won't break it like UE4 did with the 3TB one...

Ordered this one earlier today for my main computer's (first pic in my previous post) FLAC/MKV storage purposes: https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/63843/gkxhk/WD-Blue-4-Tt-SATAIII-5400RPM-64-Mt-3-5-kovalevy

So that's 517.60 EUR spent this year on storage drives that I didn't direly (or immediately) need.

I hear IW is kinda disappointing after the original game.
