Orange band and accents aside (why!), I don’t see any big resemblance between the watches.

Samsung has also been using the Ultra branding far longer than .

Nice one! First OM System/Olympus camera?

It warms my little heart when I see others with one, having been following them since the early days of M4/3 when all the “pros” laughed at the concept.

I’ve used Olympus a while ago. But first OM system variant yeah. Hopefully it’s decent

It’s a very capable little thing, though very plastic fantastic. I was initially shocked due to how lightweight it felt, but then after that I didn’t notice as it’s built quite solidly.

Well, as long as you don’t carry it on a PeakDesign Capture Clip or on a tripod with very heavy lenses attached it should be very durable.

Ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon to build a pc but I honestly can’t be arsed building it. Think the joy I use to get building PCs is long gone. Possibly because I sit at a computer all day at work it’s the last thing I want to do when I get home. :rofl:

Since we have a topic on toasters, I want to rave about ice cube trays :wink:

Gone are the days of spilling water and not being able to stack them. I don’t know why I didn’t get something like this sooner :rofl:

They’re on offer currently so if anyone wants some I’d highly recommend!

I recently refreshed my PC with x570 mobo and 3700x I got cheap 2nd hand while I wait ho rebuild my system completely. I have to say it was great taking my PC apart and rebuilding it. I can’t now wait to build it when I get the funds together to build my new system! There’s definitely something pretty satisfying about putting it together and that first POST :sweat_smile:

Wish I still had that feeling . Been building PCs for over 20 years now. Work in IT as well so I just cannot stand them anymore lol. Ordered a 6950xt etc off Amazon this morning. Can see it all getting returned.

I remember having a conversation with a careers advisor at school who thought I should go for a career in IT. I felt it was bad idea because I would grow to dislike my hobby so ended up going down the biology route instead… Glad I didn’t have my head turned!

Haha I initially was going to be a bricklayer. Left the course to do IT instead. Kind of wish I didn’t.

Also other tech I bought a few weeks ago.

Quite handy.

I so wish I learned a trade instead of going to uni. I’d probably be in Sweden or New Zealand or somewhere similar now.

I also really want an air fryer, but I’ve been using my oven less and less, so maybe a slow cooker would be better. But wither would end up next to the bread maker due to insufficient kitchen space.

I love my air fryer.

Only thing I use my oven for is pizza and that’s only because they don’t fit.

Those mini garlic bread pizza things from Lidl fit nicely though.

Home made chips :pinched_fingers:t3:

Air fryers are a game changer. Freshly baked croissant in the morning is :ok_hand:t4:

It also takes aways the argument for the convenience of a take away. I went for the dual basket Instant brand one.

Love my air fryer, not really sure why they called it an air fryer, tbh. It’s just a small oven, useful for smaller items so you don’t have to heat up the entire oven

Feel the same to be fair as bought a loads of bits to upgrade mine and it took me 3 months to build up the enthusiasm to put it all together a few weeks back.

Happy with the end result but the joy of building a PC isn’t what it used to be

I know what you mean, The last time I built my PC, I was a teenager. Still going, but obviously does need some Upgrades. However, even the act of building a PC now seems daunting rather than fun

This was the first one I had used an AIO cooler for and I keep thinking should I have just bought a decent air cooler but it seems to be doing a nice job of cooling the CPU and it’s pretty quiet so that’s a bonus
