I usually sell the majoirtiy of this stuff on Overclockers Australia. Just be prepared to be lowballed.
Surround yourself with friends as much as possible and always remember you won't feel like this forever.
I think drivers have unrealistic quotas they have to meet which makes them cut corners, blame the corporate overlords.
Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi for retro gaming? Obviously emulation rather than cold hard hardware but still, very elegant solution which works great in Wii style scenarios (holidays, parties, bunch of bored people or those avoiding uni lectures).
Lot of questions before you start, mainly around what you already have.
Have a spare HDMI cable?
Have a spare microSD card? Everything is stored on this. For just old cart games you don't need much space at all. If you wanna do NeoGeo & PSOne get a bigger one, 64GB or more.
Have something to access said microSD card via computer? My laptop has a SD card slot and I had an adapter come with one of the cards. Otherwise you can buy readers super cheap on eBay et al. You need this to flash the microSD card with the operating software, one and done deal.
Lucky enough to have a spare microUSB charger that outputs 5V 2.5A? Recommend grabbing an official power supply when you grab the board so there are no power related issues to troubleshoot.
(obviously only download ROM's for games you own)

i've just got to finish sutdying for these final assessment tasks and then hopefully my graphics card will arrive and some other shit to distract me for a little bit
I know them feels, currently awaiting a rather expensive parcel (pc parts).
Was due for delivery today.. Got a notification email stating there's been a delay around lunch time.
No tracking updates.
Apparently its still sitting at Chullora since Friday morning. Not happy. /firstworldproblems
It just pissed me off because I heard the postie pull up on his bike, and had already ridden off without even trying to deliver the parcel by the time I managed to get outside. Then I checked the tracking number and saw "Attempted Delivery - Unable to gain access".
Like, no shit you can't gain access if you sit on the bike and don't bother to get off it.

Have you looked into the free Parcel Locker service they offer? I got one for this very reason. It means you have to go to the actual lockers to pick your delivery up, but they're open 24 hours (or at least my one is) so there's no mucking around with post office hours or trying to be home for deliveries.
Basically once you've signed up, they give you a Parcel Locker delivery address which you get your stuff shipped to. When it arrives they send you a text, and you just collect it whenever it suits you. If they offer them near you then they're the way to go.

Have you looked at Safe Drop?
Obvioulsy you might be limited by location, but we have it set up and we have them leave everything out of sight on the front veranda. Never had a problem with it.

I had a package (expensive one mind you) "safe dropped" on my front porch. There nowhere on my front porch out of sight at all. It was literally leaning on the front door in full view of the street for 8 hours while I was at work.
Had the same thing the other day, some drivers are good some not so much.

Yeah, some of my favourite. McCree's is amazing and Junkrat's cricket one is great also.
Really? I think they all look hideous lol. I just want junkrat becauae cricket
We have to put one of our dogs down =[
Our Kelpie Ripley got super over protective ever since our son was born, and had attacked our other dog Reggie a few times.
It got really bad lately so my in-laws took her in as they have a farm and there was a trainer in their area.
First day at training and she has a go at the trainer, bolts and then bites the head off the trainer's pet lamb. Trainer said she's too old (4-5 years) to train and with what she saw it's dangerous for her to be around farm animals and kids.

I'm a yank tho!
Also I think it'd be an amazing combo with his shotput emote. He shotput the cricket ball!
I've had a driver come all the way into my carport because it was raining, which I understand but still felt invasive and then proceeded to reverse over my wheelie bin as he left...
And another who did a safe drop to a completely different house down the street... In that case they had taken a photo of where they dropped it and I walked along the street to match the photo to a house then knocked on the door and asked for my parcel, which they had taken inside but not opened.

Bloody yanks!
I have to look past the fact he's using red cricket balls wearing the one day kit.
Rezbit and I got screwed over last night though. Servers crashed while we were playing Lucioball and then we were stuck in a group forever. They've fixed it this morning though.

Bought one, not really sure why, never owned anything Nintendo!
Sorry about the Dog Jambo, that sucks. When I was born my parents had a huge, grumpy, male German Shepard. They were freaking out that he wouldn't react well to me and almost got rid of him, but it turned out the opposite, he was my faithful guardian for the next 7 years or so and hated pretty much everyone else. He bit nearly everyone else at least once.
Dogs do react in strange ways to new people/animals coming in. My current dog has no problems with cats and never had an issue with the new one a couple of years ago but she is petrified of other dogs after she was attacked and had holes bitten in her ear by a dog off it's leash at the park.

Eh, I don't like it but USA would come to our aid if we were attacked so you gotta stick by your mates. Hopefully we can also tell our Yankee mates to not be nuts and start a war in the first place.

I think if fatty Kim doesn't back down this is probably gonna escalate into war. NK likes to make threats and conduct daring weapons tests because the risk of military retaliation against them is low. Not anymore, Trump is too stupid to make good judgments.

Too true.
Shit, time to save those songs from the playlists.
Trump is likely to get goaded in action, sad times.

I continue to be surprised that google didn't buy it, given it's basically YouTube for audio.

Spotify were in the mix to buy but the impression is Soundcloud have a ton of debt and no real assets. At the end of the day the artists can upload their stuff to Youtube instead.

Already switched to Google music family sub.
How do I contact Apple about the status of my repair?
I was told that I should get a call informing me if the damage was covered or not, the issue and kind of repair they need to carry out in 3-5 days on the 1st of August but there has been no response yet. The my repairs thing still shows that they've just received it.
Their website wants $39 to chat and is only giving exceptions for recent purchases of OSX/software.
