on ChinaBuye

This is a fantastic item.

I got one black and one gold. The black looks great. The gold is okay-looking.

Very solid. Almost metal. Good grip.

The cap stays on tightly.

The MicroSD card goes in the “nose” of the reader, and is easy to insert/remove.

It’s easy to pull out of a computer, even though it is fairly small.

Archer (2009-) tv poster

A spy does spy stuff, drinks, hits on women and makes a jackass of himself while being surprisingly competent.

A fun, light, series which has a whole lot of laugh-out-loud moments.

  • Though I’ve seen it all, I didn’t begin taking notes until later on.

RT-MWK08 1

A 92-key wireless keyboard+mouse combination.

With a lithium-ion battery and charging cable, broad compatibility and tiny-but-functional size, this is an inexpensive and handy device.

  • mouse: HID\VID_046D&PID_C01B\6&a742701&1&0000
  • keyboard: HID\VID_413C&PID_2003\6&34a825d5&0&0000
  • Although the box is labelled RT-MWK08, there is no indication of this being a “Rii”
  • Not well tested, but strongly triggers MF sensitivity in my left hand.
  • There are alternate versions of this keyboard: colours, Russian character set, and a 2x AA battery-operated one.
  • I did not require a driver installation for Windows 10.

X-Men - Apocalypse (2016) poster

Entertainment > Movies >

(on Wikipedia)

An Old One is awakened, and renews his takeover of the world.. except we already know the good guys win because this takes place in the 80s and a past movie, set in the then-future, has an intact world with all characters accounted for.

A standard superhero movie, with nothing particularly interesting. Extremely confusing given that this is a sequel to a sequel to a prequel or some shit.

I would have done a few things different, and even a few subtle changes would have made this movie a hell of a lot better.

Definitely pass on this unless you’re really into this particular series.

A UI which displays a range estimate.

Absolutely essential for understanding one’s distance to target, not just for staying at the extreme range but for staying closer than that in case one’s target moves.

I place this overtop of Basic Threat Bar.

Press a hotkey (out of combat) to remember an assist target. Press another to assist them.

It sounds simple, even unnecessary, but it’s clean and makes life so much easier rather than using a /focus all the time.
