Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

We've still got about a half dozen of the NHS ones, thankfully. Hopefully we won't need them again for a while, as we both had it in March...

 

Thankfully, the wife can still get them for free as an NHS employee. Though that is cheaper than I have seen them up for. The cheapest I've found was £2.25 per test.

 

We only need them so we can visit the MiL in her care home.
We were relying on a stockpile we had and free ones from daughter's uni, but stockpile has dwindled and daughter is moving out, so here we are

 

Those are the ones I went for before we bagged several free boxes from the MiL's care home.

They work though, I had the pleasure of having COVID the week after they arrived to test them

 

A Tobii Eye Tracker 5 while they're still 15% off.

 

Intrigued, I had a snoop.
And I don't get it.

Your on-screen view tracks your head and eyes moving, but if you move your head and eyes away from the screen... well you're not looking at the screen any more, right?
I'd presume not for VR because that has its own head tracking.
I'm missing something here.

Do you have a large dead-zone for most of the screen and then "bump" the edge of the screen with your gaze to adjust?
Is it accurate enough to fidget around in the seat without getting confused?
So many questions.

 

It provides "free look", leaving mouse/stick/controller free to do other stuff.
Flight/space simmers I follow on Twitch swear by it, so I thought I'd splurge

 

Pro-ject Debut Pro

 

That isn't too bad to be honest

People in a certain scandinavian country are paying a bit more. "Kpl" means quantity

 

I’ve still got boxes of tests (25 in each box iirc) going free if anyone wants a box.

 

I would be interested. How much do you want for postage, one box?

 

Pure Air Pro Electric Scooter 2nd Gen


Never been into electric scooters due to intense laws and regulations, aka you can't use them anywhere but on private land but bought this to trial a business opportunity.

 

This bank holiday weekend, I appear to be mainly cutting holes in ceilings...

 

You sort the postage (parcel2go or alike) send me the pdf or a link to it, I’ll print that off and I’ll slap the test’s in a mailing bag in the box they come in, and pop it off to you.

 

Every time I see a grown adult on one of these without their kids in tow, just makes me think “melt”

In my head they’re for kids and you look a prat on one as an adult.

 

They're great for city commuting, less sweat than a bike, cheaper than a moped and you can fold them up and leave it under the desk.

 

... thought they were still illegal on roads and pavements ?

 

Excluding the sanctioned trials, they are

 

Ah, Dean, I mastered not caring what people thought a long time ago, I’ll happily jump in my hairdresser's car which I like, wearing my ridiculous Percy pig pyjamas and slippers in the hospital which I also like, while riding my E-scooter like a melt (on private land),

I quote one of the greats Ricky Gervais: “I don’t care, I don’t care”
