Diary - Jul 13 to Jul 19 2024

Sat Jul 13 2024

Sleep 0400 to 1130 (7-1/2 hours)

  • Fading Suns 4E bundle resurrected from 2022. New is a companion Lost Worlds bundle. In both bundles only one book of adventures so I'm still passing.

Sun Jul 14 2024

Sleep (not sure, about 7 hours)

  • Amazon Prime includes Prime Gaming (the old Twitch Gaming) which you have to activate. Then you can claim free games which can be on Amazon or other stores (e.g. Epic Games or GOG). I think only if it's on Amazon you have to have Prime Gaming active to play them.

Mon Jul 15 2024

Sleep 1 hour, 30m nap, 2h nap (3-1/2 hours)

  • Received my Free League Publishing order for Hostile Waters boxed and The Black Madonna boxed, the latter free from the Twilight 2K Kickstarter and I only had to pay for shipping.

Tue Jul 16 2024

Sleep 0315 to 1115 (8 hours)

  • Prime Day
    • Tempted to buy AirPods Max for $395 but it dies within 6 months so want to wait for AirPods Max v2.
    • No great Mac deals. Hoping for MPB M3 Pro 18 GB 2 TB SSD.
    • Considering buying ASUS ZenWiFi Pro AXE11000 ($320 for 1, it's Mesh system) based on MacStories recommendation.

Wed Jul 17 2024

Sleep 0500 to 1130 (6-1/2 hours)

  • Prime Day deals noted by Ars Technica. Bought a TP-Link Archer AX55 ($80), a cheap yet good WiFi 6 router at a great discount. Don't really need it right now since I don't have any WiFi 6 devices and my old AirPort is mostly working (sometimes is flaky). But as I upgrade devices better WiFi speed will be nice (I have fiber Internet so currently underusing it, I think 400 Mb/s sustained download on my MBP) and the AirPort might die soon.

Fri Jul 19 2024

Sleep 0500 to 1230 (7-1/2 hours)
