Hi again, thank you for meeting me in here today, it means a lot. Of course, you can meet me on X everyday but apparently nobody here cares about that, so I will not tell you again I am over there waiting for you, I will not even give you a convenient link to my profile. Moving on: this time I have some sound, some input, some power and some pop-culture for you, not because you asked but because you need. No need to thank me.
Become an audiophile today
Audiophiles have all the fun. They feast in beautiful things that feed the hears but also the eyes. The 22 [tu:tu:] is a compact hybrid tube amplifier manufactured by EK JAPAN, featuring two exposed 6SN7GT tubes and a minimalist form defined by a pair of large front dials that emphasize simplicity and visual balance, and it does that extremely well, I'd say. It delivers 12W + 12W output power with a wide 15–30000Hz frequency response, supports both RCA and mini‑jack inputs for component players or portable devices, and includes an automatic sleep mode when no signal is detected. Measuring 265 × 103 × 151 mm and weighing 1.6 kg, the design focuses on presenting the beauty of the tubes while slimming down traditional tube‑audio aesthetics to blend seamlessly into modern living environments. It's hard to resist, isn't it?

Key it in

You know I love keyboards as all my input is done through them, so I always pay attention when I see one. The Lofree Block is a 98‑key wireless mechanical keyboard designed with a minimalist aesthetic, featuring a soft grey chassis accented by warm orange highlights for a clean, retro-inspired look. It uses textured PBT keycaps and a gasket‑mount structure with Poron foam (which is the best kind of foam) to deliver quieter, smoother, and more stable keystrokes, while its custom Full‑POM linear switches—developed with TTC (not quite sure what that is, but is doesn't matter) —offer light actuation, long‑term durability, and a comfortable typing feel. The keyboard supports tri‑mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, and USB‑C), can pair with up to three devices, and provides up to 80 hours of use from its 2000mAh battery. Additional features include hot‑swappable switches, white LED backlighting with 14 effects, foldable risers for 4° or 8° typing angles, and two retro-style knobs for quick adjustments. Off to the shop to get one, see ya.

Charger for Apple fanboys and fangirls
I have an uncontrollable need to own chargers, but this one is not for me, simply because I am not an Apple nerd, maybe you are and there's nothing wrong with that. The Aulumu M10 is a 10,000mAh multi‑charging power bank designed for users who carry several Apple devices (you!), combining MagSafe wireless charging, an Apple Watch charging pad, and a 35W USB‑C PD port in a single compact unit. It supports up to 15W magnetic wireless charging, includes a built‑in cable and lanyard for easier everyday carry, and features an active cooling system using conductive silicone, graphene, and dual airflow paths to maintain stable performance during high‑power or multi‑device charging (gimmicky? Perhaps but I don't care). A pixel‑style battery indicator provides quick status checks, while its 252g body and travel‑friendly design make it suitable for commuting and on‑the‑go use. Built for convenience and versatility, the M10 offers a cleaner, more integrated charging setup for iPhone, Apple Watch, and USB‑C essentials without the need for multiple separate chargers. I'll get one when they make one for Android.

Bonus - Delorean, do you even know what it is?
I am old and I have seen many things in my life. Not much stuck with me as I have a tendency to keep only what truly matters in my brain - that is the reason why I am super-optimized, as you know. One of those things that I reserve neurons for, due to its importance, is the BTTF* Delorean - a car I know is terrible quality, probably very uncomfortable, and a true money pit. I like it so much that I imagine-own one and now I can change my imagine-car to be fully electric because, why not? A mod that removes the original engine and replaces it with an electric motor and a battery pack. It can go about 280 Km on a charge, but it will probably breakdown before that, so that's plenty of range. You can also reverse the mod if you regret doing it afterwards - a great feature if you can't make decisions. It's very cool to see things still happening to the DeLorean fleet after all these years, it is truly a great symbol of pop-culture. C'mon, just buy one.
* BTTF = Back to the Future
Done, finished, nothing more to see here. Thank you for listening. I leave you with a nugget of knowledge from my grandfather: "Spend money on beautiful material things, it's worth it".
