Another RGB fan for my Computer.

I have bought 4 in total of this kind.

I blew 1 up this morning. No idea how but smoke bellowing out of my case lol.

Amazon were useless this time saying I have to pay for it to go back and they will refund me postage. Naaa no thanks been caught out like that before. I took a hit on this fan. £10 gone. :@

6 case fans and 2 on the CPU cooler 1 push and 1 pull set up and 1 exhaust fan. Runs really cool.

Don't need any more fans. :P

10 is enough.

Few recent purchases:

Engineer SS-02 solder sucker (Amazon) - not working as expected. Attempting to remove an analog stick from one of my third-party PS4 controllers is proving to be difficult. Using this third-party controller to practice. I don't particularly care if I break it. I want to be able to desolder and fix analog sticks because they are one of the most common things to fail on a controller. Stick drift is annoying. Both my official PS4 and PS5 controllers have had it (luckily fix hasn't required desoldering, it will eventually though).

The tool managed to successfully allow me to desolder a simple 3-leg mouse switch, so that at least tells me it somewhat works, but the analog stick is being far more stubborn. Some solder is always left behind. The stick just doesn't want to come out. I may need additional tools to help me. It's a little disappointing the tool itself didn't do the job. Some video showcases show it working perfectly. :|

A new soldering tip (D24) for my TS100 soldering iron (AliExpress) - my current tips seem to be worn out, so I've decided to try buying a new one. My iron doesn't keep a stable temperature with one of my tips (the D24). It never really has with this specific tip. Hopefully the new one works well. Have to wait until around Oct 1 to receive it. Long time to wait.

I rarely buy new stuff. I mean, outside regular purchases for basic survival, including a bunch of potato sacks to stop going outside on my newborn suit :P

But yesterday I couldn't resist: bought a bat kigurumi at a local otaku store. Basicly a loose pajamas with animal features, perfect for staying at home during those rainy days! It has wings, flappy ears and it's warm and coozy. I'm so happy! Wish I could use it to go to work lol.
