Nice! I regret not getting the 10tb version of this drive when it was on Amazon for £235, as it hasn't been that low since, but I'm keeping an eye on it...

I have around 7TB of storage on my file server, but some of the partitions were running low on space, so off I went to Amazon to look for some more. I forget how it presented itself to me, but I found myself looking at a 18TB Seagate HDD, at only £133.99...
I sent the link to a few people asking what I was missing? Why would it be so cheap? No-one could really tell me. 'What the hell' I thought and placed an order. It said not due in stock until mid Oct, but they took payment during the order.
Fully expecting it to get cancelled, I wasn't surprised when I got an email from Amazon the next day... except the email was telling me it would ship early... sure enough, it arrived on Saturday!
Apparently, some of my mates, who clicked the link an hour after I sent it, said it was already showing as £550, NO COMPETITOR LINKING!!!. (Well, I see it's down to £500, but still) Looks like I got rather lucky!
What a result!
First time i've bought a physical book for myself in years
That's a really cool looking book! I definitely need to get around to reading the series at some point.

Absolutely love it when things like that happen! My brother had it on Dom Perignon Champagne on amazon. Bought 12 bottles for like 120quid as it was mislabeled. Got delivered and everything, while his co workers orders all got cancelled. Nice work!!

Had BMW's M-performance power and sound kit fitted by my local dealer. A remap and valved cat-back exhaust, all covered by BMW warranty, and also got the matching diffuser as the exhaust protrudes a tiny bit more and it looks like a wheelbarrow without it 
.
Takes car from 325bhp to over 360, plus a shed load more torque (and a rather incredible noise with the valves open!)
before:
after:
With the valves open it is essentially a straight through exhaust as you can see from the underworkings
It really has changed the way the engine delivers its power, way more than the headline figure increase. It's far more urgent from ~2k rpm now, yet still wants to rev to the redline. The B58 really is a fantastic engine.

I bet that sounds tooty-fruity!
B48 here with the same kind of treatment

Anbernic RG351MP.
I bought a different retro handheld like 6 years ago it was awful build quality and the software was terrible. This though is on another level, anodised metal chassis, decent D pad and buttons, gorgeous high resolution (640 x 480
) 3.5" IPS OCA laminated screen. Just waiting now for CFW to come out of beta to add software improvements.100TB here and almost full
Is that a Pr0nhub server?

Got a new wallet, or should I say, card holder. Holds 4 cards on the inside (RFID) and 1 on the outside (not shown in photo). Real leather, nice stitching, made in London.
And I got Airtags
Picked up that exact wallet a few weeks ago, really like it.
Pffft. Holds the master spreadsheet of my frivolous spending sprees.
So pr0n receipts?
You gotta pay to play!

My Trekology UL80 died so I've gone for a more expensive mat this time - LW so bigger as well but lighter and warmer than the Trekology.
mate that's awesome, I haven't had a sleepover in 30 odd years!
