Re: What have you just bought?
My old Gigabyte 34" curved monitor died last week, so replaced it with a iiyama G-Master Red Eagle GCB3480WQSU-B1 34 Inch Gaming Monitor 1500R curved VA panel with 180Hz refresh rate, 0.4ms MPRT and 3440x1440 resolution (4.9 megapixel UWQHD, DisplayPort).
It's quite nice...

A week in a very nice cottage by Loch Lomond next year.
And a Rubik's speed cube.

Prezzies for wife's birthday. I'll not share more in case she's watching!
A few books on Theology.

Re: What have you just bought?
Concentrated weed killer and sprayer, my plan is to go along my dead neighbours fence while I can still get access to the garden and spray the incredibly overgrown ivy and brambles, as it'll likely be many months before that house is sold and decontaminated and fixed up again and the garden has been abandoned for many years.

Re: What have you just bought?
A new type of drill bit that a contractor who was here was raving about. From Temu, £3.81 for a 5-piece set. Ordered on Monday, already in the UK in the hands of Evri.

Re: What have you just bought?
Two electric space heaters for our church because the ancient boiler has finally, totally died and it’ll be a month before we can get a replacement ordered and installed.
It was cheaper to buy a pair of 3kW ones outright than to hire a single, larger one from HSS for a month. At least I can be sure we won’t blow the electrics as well, if each of them’s pulling no more than a quick-boil kettle.

Re: What have you just bought?
Needed a cheap-and-cheerful printer so found this. I had a £20 Argos voucher from when they messed up a previous order so cashed that in and the printer is (hopefully, as I don't have much faith in Argos' delivery service - that's what the previous issue was about) arriving tomorrow sometime.
Although I'll get to use very little of it - Mrs B runs her own business (sells home-made sunday dinners) and is massively successful given the amount of work she puts in, and the printer is mainly for her use.

Re: What have you just bought?
Canon PIXMA are great printers. I had one, ran it into the ground and bought another. I’d have bought a third but our print volume is so high we went for a laser instead.

Re: What have you just bought?
Oh definitely. I've only ever gone for cheap-and-cheerful and they've always done the job perfectly. Replacement ink has always been reasonable too (I never go for refills - had too many hassles). Although it's for her business it's only really for her accounts and 'general paperwork' stuff so it's ideal like that.

Re: What have you just bought?
Problem with too many cheap printers is that they don't work with Linux or don't work very well. Not a big issue for most but we use Linux so having devices work with the penguin is important.

In the case of Canon printers I found off-brand ink from internet-ink.com always worked well and never caused any blockages, streaks or blotches.

The problem was never anything like that, it's just the printer would always come up saying the cartridge was 'empty' or some similar error no matter how many times I tried to reset or bypass it.
