Value Village strikes again... Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G

Found an old Swedish Family Bible at Value Village. Wish I'd had the extra cash to grab it, but it was nearly 600$
Instead, I took pictures. They say a picture is worth a thousand words after all.

An HP EliteBook 840 G5 I picked up from a thrift store (Value Village) and got a new battery for. I'm amused by the fact that anyone would ditch good hardware just because it "can't" run Microshaft's over bloated (A)ssholishly (I)ncompetent "operating system", this thing's a Hell of a catch! Installed Fedora and said goodbye to WinBLOWS forever!

Found a DVD with three Jacques Cousteau documentaries for €2 at the #ThriftStore.
I could not let it remain in the shop.
I guess we will be watching the man with the red beanie talk about marine life in French tonight. 🦭
For those interested, here's more info on Cousteau:

Thrift store find from a few days ago, I had no room for it but it was still pretty.

New thrift store in Olympia today...
GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC Edition.
It's either going in my server, or I'm building a Steam (Nobora) Machine.

One of my more interesting Value Village finds, a secret compartment book. Not sure if it'll see any use, but I think it's neat anyway.
And yes, it appears to be homemade out of an actual book and not just made to look like a book.

Picled up one of those clip on monitors for laptops from Value Village today. The only minor annoyance is that all the ports are on the opposite side of the device.

Not too bad in the CD finds at the Goodwill today. $1 each came to just $18. Hard to beat that. The Duran Duran CD turned out to be an Amazon UK special edition with an insert signed by the band - it was all there and intact. #musicsky #nowspinning #nowplaying #music #cd #thriftstorefinds

Picked up a Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS from Value Village and am excited to see if I can get it to work. Does anyone have any recommendations for a distro that'll work on this dinosaur?

Aggressive resellers are buying many items at thrift stores and selling them for much higher prices. This makes it hard for regular shoppers to find good deals.

A Dell Latitude E6540 I rescued from Value Village that was marked "for parts". Installed Fedora and it runs like a champ.

Found this interesting device at Value Village, it's same manner of Intel 32-bit. Any recommendations for a Linux distro that uses DNF?

Snagged myself this Polaroid Impulse SE from value Village yesterday, can't wait to see if it works!

A recent thrift store haul - new old stock floppy diskettes! Interesting to find boxes of no name diskettes paired with Dysan diskettes, shame they're all high-density.
Looking forward to trying out that memory stick floppy adapter.
