Lots of random crashes, and one specifically called out failing to write to memory and the problem, so I ran memtest86 on it and came up with all the errors. Luckily it turns out Corsair has lifetime warranty and the replacements are on the way!

Could be worse, here’s the memtest I just ran after things have been glitching out lately. Be glad you’ve got a couple years.

I busted out my brs3000 at a camp with some friends of friends at exactly the same time as one of them did. It’s truly a moment when you meet your stove bro in the wild. I do miss my pocket rocket sometimes though, rest in rusty peace lil fella.

Running? Maybe not free, but shoes are a pretty reasonable price for admission. Great way to get out and see more of your city, trails, or even while you’re traveling. Healthy and feel good endorphins are a bonus.

Photography? Yes a proper camera helps, but your phone has one. Third party camera apps can help make it more manual and learn the exposure basics before committing to an actual camera. Used ones can be had pretty cheap if you decide to pursue further. This can be a rabbit hole hobby costing thousands but doesn’t have to be.

Photography word for the out of focus bits. The design of the lens, shape and quantity is aperture blades, maximum aperture size, distance to the subject, all kinds of stuff make the blurry bits different. Phones often try to fake this with a portrait mode setting.

My friends 2016 had what you’re describing but my 2021 Subaru has the turning ones that actually swivel. It does a fun little going cross-eyed dance when you turn it on to make sure it’s working or something.
