not sure why the picture looks like that its and lg BU40N drive woulda cost the same if i hunted down the right firmware and the the buffalo case. and yes i have flashed it to the current libredrive fw just a couple of cmd line in ubuntu and its done

 

Now to wait for the out of stock stuff and the stuff shipped from far far away.

 

Well, obviously, it's sharp. Has to be. It's UltraHD, after all.


I'll get my coat.

 

So many things. So, so, many things.

After removing most of the guts of the ****-box radio and replacing it with a Pi (And PiMusicbox) I've come to the realisation that my Pi stocks are dangerously low. IE: I only have a Zero to hand now.

So another Pi4, because it's somehow cheaper than old 3's, and some SD cards.
Evergreen plasticard in various thicknesses 'cause Metal Gear Rex.
Various Gameboy parts for the GB pocket, IPS screen too 'cause the standard screens are basically crap
The model of the bionic arm from MGS:V that was in the limited editions (And basically the only bit I ever wanted from that edition)
A bunch of CD's because "project buy all music I've pirated that I can remember" is going to go on forever. And ever. And ever.

 

Basic laser level, got stuff to do that needs to be level

 

Truck mods - a central locking kit for the tailgate and an auto-folding mirror module.

Because apparently on even a £38,000 truck, either of those are a luxury too far.

Don't make the mistake of assuming your house is level to start with.

 

Figured I will probably need a little extra space for my mod.

 

I hope you got a spares or repair, getting a hold of one of those that works and gutting it would be like buying a Renoir for a practice canvas.

Actually Renoir probbaly made more paintings than there are Gamecube GBA adapters.

 

As far as I can tell there are plenty of Gameboy adapters, though they do go for a little more money than the gamecubes themselves. It's the Gameboy player CD that's the real rarity. Fortunately I have no need for one.

If I were to mod a Panasonic Q however...

I asked around for broken or empty shells, none available. Certainly not at the price I payed for these. 20€ shipped for the cube and 25€ shipped for the adapter.

 

I did see one on fleabay not long back, but really didn't feel like paying 500 chonkers for a plastic box to chop it up.

 

Next-day delivery*
*please allow 5 days for picking and packing

 

Not sure what's going on with DPD at the moment.

One delivery - on time with proper tracking
Another deliver - on time but told it had gone out for delivery after it already arrived
A third delivery - apparently due on Saturday but DPD say they're still waiting for it.

 

Yeah, not sure what the national picture looks like but DPD have been a sh!t show down here in the past few months. Stuff not getting loaded onto vans in time, deliveries attempted to my office address stupidly late in the day, several days in a row. Tracking updates all over the place.

Shame, they were always one of the more reliable carriers before the COVID boom.

 

EU wide DPD look like they've been caught with their pants down, half asleep.

The DPD drivers here are completely useless for the most part.

 

I know DPD have taken on a lot of new staff recently to cope with increased demand.
