  1. Found this thing on Aliexpress. I assume it's crap, but what it CLAIMS it is is a portable linux-based HDD game console.

    In other words someone took a hdd, put #batocera #linux on and a cheap enclosure around it, added a leaflet and a cable... and sent it in the packaging of the enclosure.

    I am curious how big the hard drive actually is, considering one of the only things the leaflet actually does is show how to check the size of it.
    Why would you even show that?

  6. I bought a couple of cheap Walkie Talkies for my two youngest grandchildren.
    They transmit illegally on a USA FRS frequency - I'd assumed (!) they'd be low power UK PMR or 49MHz.
    They've got harmonics in the 70cm Amateur Band (& probably elsewhere too) despite having FCC certification.
    There's no way crap like this should be dumped on the UK market.

  11. Congratulations, Elon Musk! It takes a great man to make something that looks so cheap and ugly, so expensive and dangerous! Lost in Space had better props!

  16. Was ordering some stickers off Temu and decided to throw in a AU$5 keyboard. Those key caps are something…

    On the bright side, it actually appears to be mechanical and will take my old Das Keyboard keycaps. Which are due for a replacement from being so worn out.

  18. The Twitter business model is dying… Elmo can't give away ad space, and it shows in the (poor) quality of promoted ads.

    Additionally, it now seems that @twittersupport can't manage to honor 'block' requests on the Twitter iOS app. #cheapcrap
