My Yearend Techs & Misc. Items Summary - 2024
Hello... My worst year has struck again, as 2024 is not my year when it comes to making topics on my tech items. 😔 Sure, there's ONE item that struck me happy, but then my happy days were ended when my custom PC's Powersupply and GPU went out of commission, which I'll talk about it later... And because of it, I went on hiatus after my final topic on August. To this day... I don't feel well, I have a 'major depression' hidden my rabbit brain hole. My 'slow recovery' continues... 🧠🩹🤕
Anyway, enough for that, let’s talk about my ‘My Yearend Techs and Misc. Items Summary 2024’! And here are my choices per month so far, both ongoing & done topics:
• JAN - Another 90s Camera: Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z: This is an old 90s camera that was owned by my late grandpa, who passed away in 2020 due to the dreaded COVID-19, along with complications. It may have few photos in the past, but we could never forget our last photo before retired for good.
• FEB - My PC Upgrade Part 3 - Revival: The 'Part 3' of my PC upgrade was a success attempt, which consist of two brand new PC parts, and a converter of HDMI to VGA monitor port. Although, the latter was completely useless. Unfortunately, there's something wrong... And I'll get to that later.
• MAR - My BRAND NEW SMARTPHONE BY Tecno Mobile: January 22nd (, 2024) is the date when I struck luck by commenting about the 'Tecno SPARK 20 Pro' smartphone as part of the giveaway, and then it was delivered on Feb 3rd. This is actually my 2nd time winning a brand new phone, since 2019. And while my Honor 8C (which is my previous winning phone, by the way) was retired in Oct of this year, my brand new smartphone by Tecno Mobile became my 'main phone', without equipping any of my old micro SD card (as my expansion after transfer files and reformat). I mind as well planning on getting 1TB version, someday when my problem was solved (one by one).
• APR - My Family's 2000s Digital Camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-T70): From 90s digi cam to 2000s digi cam, you're looking at the latter. This is the 'Sony Cybershot DSC-T70', an old pocket-size digi cam with built-in touch screen on the tiny screen. And unlike the old Olympus cam, our Sony cybershot cam had long history of taking snapshots with a single memory stick (you know, the one that you've always used on your awesome sony PSP), until the camera itself was ended on January 5th, 2017 as my last photoshoot recording. BUT, I believed that the cybershot cam (Model: DSC-T70) will make a comeback with new fresh 3rd-party batteries and a new memory stick adapter for the micro SD card. But when? Very soon.
• MAY - My Family’s 2010s Digital Camera (Canon EOS 1000D/Rebel XS): Liked our cybershot, our fam's Canon DSLR camera had a long history of snapshots from the nearby swimming resort in 2011 to my mom's previous school activity in 2018, and the latter was ended there when our camera is showing it is age, and the occasion of unwanted dusts and a tiny ant that forever stuck, to this day. Yes, yes, the camera itself is still functional, but it needs to be repair and replaced with numerous parts. Unfortunately, even though its old, the replacement camera parts were expensive. So much so, we've ended up using our smartphones as our Go-To camera purpose, aside from checking our SocMeds (Social Medias). But, time will tell if our canon DSLR camera still functional after years of hiatus.
• JUN - R.I.P., my PSU & GPU Card: Okay, we returned to my concerned topic. So as I said, unfortunately it went horribly wrong after 6 months of used, with the first encountered was the new PC power supply, it went blown out from either a fuse or some parts that went malfunctioned. We may never know. And while the PC power supply was fixed by replacing a brand new one (not to mention the RAM was replaced with two 8GB RAM sticks to make 16GB RAM w/ 2666 MHz speed), another encountered has followed! This time is the new 'GPU' (I've purchased from January this year), and the latter was never replaced to this day because I'm insufficient. Thus, my life was ruined, and I'm going back to my mom's laptop to this very day. Although, I've already earned some dough by participating another volunteered job, I have to save and earn it MORE for the authentic, and expensive GPU card. Meanwhile, my custom PC itself remain intact and still functional today, even without equipping GPU card. Which, I've checked it, last Christmas Eve.
• JUL - A vintage Motorola phone (from the 90s; "Motorola d368"): One of the oldest cellular phone that my mom has owned is this Motorola phone. Actually there's two motorola phones, but I can't find the first one. Nevertheless, there was a time that Motorola used to be 'cool', 'active', and 'competitive' against another phone brand who used to have the three aforementioned words, and that's 'Nokia', from the 90s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, their spotlight was stolen by numerous phone brands, including tech giants like Samsung and Apple, Inc. who were already stolen their marketing thunder. And while both 'Motorola' and 'Nokia' are still active, they don't make innovative smartphones, anymore. And that's sad (like ME).
• AUG - My first ever Android Smartphone - Busted (Cherry Mobile Jelly): And speaking of phones, here's one right here. My first ever Android smartphone I've ever bought, and still in my possession to this very day. Honestly, I really missed that TV antenna with a TV app feature, in which I could go anywhere without needing a On-the-go TV tuner device. However, that TV antenna for android smartphone feature didn't last because I don't think they don't make this feature, anymore. Not to mention, the declined of the older Android Operating Systems, starting from the OG to the recent Android 11 are now nothing more than a relic. And this android smartphone of mine from Cherry Mobile is no exception. Meanwhile, the 'Cherry' brand and their mobile phones are still in-production and selling with their modern specs and android OS, to this day.
🛑 AND THE REST OF THE BER-MONTHS SAYS IT ALL! 😔 I DECIDED TO GO HIATUS OWING TO MY LIFE PROBLEMS, AND OTHER STUFF THAT I CAN'T FIX! 😭🛑
So, I'm so sorry... All of you, including my trusted friends (who always cheered me up, to this very day). I deserved to be happy and positive person than the opposite side. 😔😞
