I’m really grateful that most cheap shit physical stores in my area uses USB C these days. Even most stuff on Amazon and in $2 shops is mostly USB C from what I’ve seen.
The only 2 devices I have that still use micro USB is a small desk vacuum, and my raspberry pi zero W. But I only have a single micro USB cable so I just have an adaptor for my vacuum
Yep :|
Even though I never had one growing up, I still felt nostalgic for them. I received it for my 16th bday and was over the moon. Spent my pocket money on an SD card a few days later and spent a day getting the homebrew stuff happening. Nintendo shut down their e-shop like 2 weeks after I got it too. Fun times.
Also I suck at Mario kart, and I need to not suck before I stop playing it :(
Yeah. I’m going to create a spreadsheet and log everything in both my rooms along with serial numbers and photos. The serial numbers and photos probably only help if the cops decide to go searching, but knowing what exactly I have will prove useful. Probably save me for double buying things too
Tag looks gone to me! Guess it can be helped 🤷
It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren’t going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it’s a bit tricky to figure out what’s missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn’t gotten around to using yet. So I don’t actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn’t take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there’s nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.
The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven’t been 100% on because:
Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn’t remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it’s weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I’d just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.
Also I couldn’t remember if I brought my hard drive with me or not. I remember I either brought my hard drive cable or hard drive with me, because on the first day of the steam game sales, I didn’t have enough space to install the games I brought, and I remember thinking it was a shame because I had half of what I needed. I guess my stupid little ranty comments are useful though, because I said I forgot to bring my hard drive in this comment. That also solidifies in my mind that my hard drive was stolen.
Robots or aliens? I can’t decide
I got a pamphlet thingy from my local councillor where she’s whinging about proposed high density housing. She included a link to a (state) government consultation page on it. But their consultation and public opinion process closed 3 months ago. This pamphlet was most certainly not in there on Wednesday, so it can’t be an old one.
Also, what’s with the photos ministers and councillors put on their propaganda/advertising material? Why do they always look like robots trying to be humans? I don’t think anytime I’ve ever received their photos they actually looked like normal people. Reminds me of zuckerburg. It’s uncanny.
I was so tired I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Didn’t take my phone out of my pocket, and didn’t turn my lamp off (although it was only on dim). Even though I evidently needed it, my quality of sleep is quite noticeably worse if I don’t turn the light off before sleeping.
Also the other kid left the house in a bit of a state which I haven’t resolved, and I can’t fucking find anything, so I think I need to do housework today
Also also: I ordered a pack of my favourite rice crackers from Amazon last night and I swear they promised me they’d be delivered today, but now it’s saying they’ll be delivered tomorrow :/
CATS
Did you sleep 13 hours? I got 8 hours and 37 minutes, but feel like I need 13 hours
A civilised society should be able to manage a fair distribution of essential services
No. That’s communism.
Jokes. Agreed

I’d bought a couple of games on steam just before the “summer” sale ended at around 12:30am. I limited myself since I didn’t want to waste the last of my money so I just got a couple. If I’d known my tax return would come literally 10 minutes later (12:42), I would’ve waited and gotten a few more. My bank didn’t notify me when it came in either like they normally do which was odd. I just went to make sure I had enough in my main account to buy a coffee this morning and had a nice surprise
I lodged mine 10 (normal) days ago. Completely forgot about it until 2 days ago when I was like “hey, I lodged my tax return a little bit ago, I should go see what stage it’s up to” and it was on settling accounts or reviewing accounts or something like that. Then the next day it was pending.
Yeah, I can reuse it all. I got door sensors and alarms, so I can use the sensors to automate things too (they think the primary use is turning on lights). If the camera is good quality (it was only 50 bucks), it could be good to reuse once I move out, although I might go for something hard wired and with a roof mount instead
My tax return processed this morning. Right on time, wasn’t expecting that.
Finally going to upgrade the GPU, but I’m a bit concerned about the ram clearance, so I want to properly measure it out first.
I also bought a security camera today and some door alarms. I’m not sure if that was a wise use of money though, because I mean he’s moved out now, and my doors and windows are all locked. If he was to come back and try to break in again (which seems less likely with each day that passes), he’s probably going to get in by smashing a window. In which case an alarm probably won’t do much. But I guess it’ll make me feel safer, so it won’t be entirely useless I suppose
Edit: I also followed up with the crime investigation unit handling my report, but they didn’t really give me any new info. I gave them the serial number for my MacBook though, hopefully that helps
I think the primary benefit is that they’ll stop trying to run pedestrians over, but sure, that too.
Also, no need to tag me, I get the notification anyway
Yes! It was a good find
He’ll, even half of their “treatments” ended up making the problem worse or killing you even quicker
