The secondhand HDMI cables and audio cables also work perfectly 🤓

I love finding secondhand gear and accessories especially when they cost pennies on the dollar compared to new

I'm staying at the #place where I am #today for a few weeks. There are so many street sellers nearby and I've found HDMI cables, old-school audio cables, various USB drives and devices...

Yesterday my mouse started going crazy so I went out on the street and quickly found a seller with a box of them. I figured there was a good chance a mouse I bought that way wouldn't function but the price was very low so I chose one to see what would happen. It works perfectly! It's super smooth and it even has a cool color LED strip. Score!

Are there any personal computers that are designed to last for more than 100 years?

Is it safe to order computer parts from the USA? The computer parts could be bugged by American spies.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a little PCI-Express add-in card that will give me a couple extra USB-C ports? #computerhelp #computerparts

In my spring cleaning/tidying/organizing, I found this USB #adapter and have no idea what it is for. It was in a box of odds & ends that came from the shutdown #auction of a #startup, so who knows if I have the rest of the device. The round disc the #USB cable is connected with is not that large, with two metal contacts being the primary focus. The reverse has the logos for #FCC, #ce and don’t throw it away” with it being made in #China and “#patent pending”. Great clues we have to go with….

Any thoughts?

And last for today is some cinema & studio displays that I used on my old #G3 and #G4 systems.
- 20” cinema display (A1038 code on the back)
- 17” studio display (M7649 code on the reverse)

They worked great, still love the picture on them but I’m no longer running the associated systems.
If you have a need for these, give me shout – I would love to get this to a good home than taking up space in my garage.

the last of the heart & brains of the matter – a #PowerMac #G4 Digital Audio #motherboard
Dated 2000, it has the code 820-1173-A on the board. This board still had the plastic spacer on the #CMOS battery!

This was another #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket find before it became #ewaste
