    i was kinda ok with the ps5 design at first when sony released the teardown i was happy to see they added a hole to blow dust out. but both sony and ms seem to have made odd choices with cooling and air flow think ms solution might be better long term but time will tell

    I have no experience with the PS5, but my Series X and S are both extremely quiet. The S exhausts air hot enough to boil an egg, though.

    As my main gaming & work machine decided to stop working on Friday, ended up getting a new PC. Almost certain it's just the GPU that died, but as the market is a total nightmare at the moment I don't think I'd have the willpower to spent an unknown amount of time watching for a reasonable deal or waiting for the RMA process to be completed.
    Will probably try pickup a cheap £50-60 GPU off the marketplace at some point just to confirm it's not the Motherboard/CPU/RAM before I send anything for RMA.

    With how busy my work is with the current pandemic (community support), I can't really be without a working machine for more than a weekend so I decided to impulse buy a whole new machine on Sunday. Ended up going to PC World and getting one of the pre-built computers they get from PC Specialist.

    I could have just went for a cheap basic thing that does just enough to handle a remote desktop connection for a bit, but used the situation as an excuse to get something with a 3070 inside.

    Not a recent purchase, but a recent delivery:

    It's *amazing* how good the emulation is on this thing, given its size. Shame it's 50Hz, tho'.

    FunKey S, an ultra-tiny Linux-based handheld emulator. Single-core Arm chip, 64MB of RAM, 32GB microSD, four face buttons (plus Start and Select), two shoulder buttons, D-pad, single speaker, and a 240x240 display. Emulates a bunch of classic machines, up to and including the original PlayStation - surprisingly playable, too, though a 60Hz refresh rate would have been nice.

    It's surprisingly comfortable! Put a few hours of a Mega Drive homebrew version of 2048 through the thing already, and no aches or pains. A lot more comfortable than the PSP used to be...

    I never had that many problems with the original PSP fat, the Vita can get stuffed though.

    My issue is this;

    I already have to claw my thumbs up to use the smallest GameBoy I own..

    This thing's so light (30g) that I just hold it at my fingertips, so my thumbs are at full extension. And I have fairly meaty hands.

    How's the battery life on that? How's it powered?

    Interesting. I suppose it'd be something to try.. A fair bit lighter than any handheld I have to hand!

    410mAh lithium-ion battery in the back. Gets you about 1h45m per charge, and takes 60 minutes to charge from empty. (It was a promised 20-minute charge, but there were concerns about component longevity at that rate so it got bumped up to a 60-minute charge just ahead of release.) There's a micro-USB port (sadly) for power, and it also doubles as a way to mount the internal microSD card (32GB bundled, user-replaceable but you have to take the back off the thing.)

    -SanDisk Extreme 128GB SD card for the camera for 4k recording
    -A4 and A5 ruled notepads
    -A4 isometric notepad for designs
    -Mason Cash Smokey and Ginger Cat Bowls. Laureen read something about Whisker Stress and wondered if that's why Alphonso always tends to leave bits, so needed something shallower.

    About time I got something proper to sharpen knives with, as my global knife has become dulled and I don't trust my furi ozitech diamond finger sharpener any more. The rest of my knives has little chips in them I suspect are from the sharpener. I bought a separate silverline coarse wet stone to use on those to get a decent clean edge back. Liked this one as it has a box to keep it all in.

    @Gareth Halfacree That FunKey thing looks like it's about the size of the old Tamagotchi toys.
    Congrats on the house purchase!

    An LG 32" TV of some variety.

    For the very important job of my "office entertainment", IE consoles I don't want to clutter the upstairs with, or can't use upstairs because tethered controllers.
