Toys like Hotwheels were a luxury for me while growing up. Well, I'm all grown up now (open to debate :p) and can make my own decisions XD

While the quality of today's standard Hotwheels models has definitely gone down compared to a decade or 15 years ago, well, the heart wants what the heart wants :)

Congrats, why you no do Nvidia Minato? How much and from where?
Click to expand...
I had a RTX 3070, got a 4K TV some time back. Now 8GB VRAM is too low for 4K gaming, even if I'm using say 4K DLSS performance mode. I would have paid the 5k premium for 4070 Super if it had 16GB VRAM. Even if I lower settings to get 60fps, at least I can max out textures if I have the VRAM.

Bought it for 54.2k from Ankit Infotech (PCStudio) from their shop directly.

Packages this week so far:
  • 90x MMD Princess V3 60.5g bottom out switches to replace the stock MMD Princess (V1) 48g bottom out switches
  • 3x Kailh GM8.0 Mamba Blue microswitches to replace G502 SE switches which started double clicking a while ago but curiously got fixed about 2 days after the problem first presented itself. Regardless, will be replacing the switches since I really want to continue using it and don't want to spend on a replacement or contribute to e-waste by throwing away something fixable
  • 2x Hotline 3.0 Plus mouse skates (comes in a pack of 2) since screws are located underneath the original skates and will need replacement when assembling the mouse back together
  • 2 sets of lubricated 1.2mm TX clip-on stabilizers kindly sent over by a stranger on Discord for just the shipping cost
Everything except the stabilizers are from Aliexpress
This weekend (or the next) is going to be fun :)

I'm an impatient man :p

This brings back nice memories of using a Casio Digital Diary from the 90's!
Click to expand...
Exactly! I had one Casio and it was a touchscreen some 8 bit or so and a showoff among friends to save all contacts and addresses etc. info. digitally during pre-cellphone era when everyone used to maintain those pocket and office diary's. Truly nostalgic and this pic brought back those memories. Wondering why you bought this as I afaik you can store your pwds etc. here & thats it as you cannot really use it for auto-typing on any of your pcs/phones. Yet curious on your purchase unless you got some Swiss accounts to take care off!

RecZone Password Safe
Click to expand...
Wow, did not know that such a thing existed. I've thought about getting a Yubikey or similar but didn't like that I would still have to remember passwords or use a software method for them anyway.

Does this device work as a hardware authentication key with the ability to choose the password to be used when connecting it to a computer (hence doing both the first and second factor authentication with one device, instead of a Yubikey which is only for 2FA)? Or is it just a place to store passwords to view later (as in a literal digital safe?). From the reviews it seems it is the latter but I wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Hacking Hardware Password Managers: The RecZone | Pen Test Partners

TL:DR Hardware security can be difficult to fathom, so I set out to research three password vaults as a newbie, sharing my findings. I picked three popular hardware vaults, each with different components, requiring different skills and equipment. Here's how I learned about disassembly, chipset...

Yes, it's just a place to save and store your passwords. Simple as that my friend. On turning the device ON it asks for a master-key and once you key that in it takes you to a screen which has the following options:

- View (Takes you to a list of the site and passwords that you have stored on the device)
- Add (Takes you to a screen with more options where you can add more passwords)
- Edit (Takes you to a screen with all your passwords which you have saved and you can edit them when needed)
- Delete (Self explanatory)
- Settings (Device settings)

Yes, you have to manually press those tactile keys to do everything there is on the device but it gives me a nostalgic 90's vibe doing that and I like it. The keys are well built too and the device as whole doesn't feel cheap at all. A very simple yet nifty thing to have in your EDC bag. :)

Nice tool, but what happens if the device fails ? Can you take backup of data periodically ?
Else this will become a timebomb.
