My audiophile gateway drug. Got the HD599SE about a month ago on Amazon. Had to wait this long as Fiio E10K was out of stock. It came back on stock on headphone zone ans pounced on one.

RHS - bought from Guwahati Book Fair in Jan'21. Those are in Assamese (beside the first, all are fictions)
LHS - from Amazon/fk, wherever priced lower. Mostly movie/series inspired - Wheel Of Time, Witcher, Foundation, Dune :P (The last one is the only book I may have read more than once in recent months) :P

Haven't read 'em all though. Foundation & Empire is WIP now.

Please share your opinion on the Foundation books. I've read a few Asimov short stories and really enjoyed his brand of sci-fi.
I've been going back and forth between reading the books or just watching the Apple+ TV series.

I haven't watched the series as the r/asimov heavily criticised and bemoaned it and I couldn't risk disappointing myself so. But I remember reading it when I was 14-15 and just learning English. Asimov creates a fascinating world and characters and once the story grips you, you just can't put it down. It still remains my favourite sci-fi series. Fair warning, it's not action-packed, it's more of philosophical sci-fi. The first book is in fact a collection of short novellas, so if you liked his short stories, you are more than likely to enjoy it. The ideas and the sweeping scale of humanity's future envisioned by Asimov make it a very memorable read.

I was curious about a G210 on Amazon and apparently Biostar is still manufacturing an 11 year old GPU with a modern aesthetic. So now they're my preferred choice for adding video out to a server because of the sleek black pcb and nothing else, ha.

I'm getting my ram from there at dirt cheap rate. Processor I wasnt able to secure as the shop is faraway from my aunts location so only day she was traveling there I helped at least secure the ram.

My kid asked for an Ipad Air Pro from one of my cousin sister from Canada and she obliged.

So had to ask one of my cousin sisters or brothers from US to send me a AMD 6600XT GPU but they are very misers.

Had to ask my mom about this later.
