Saying Goodbye to My PS5 Slim with a ResetComparing a Dell Optiplex 3040 to Lenovo Ideacentre A8

Good morning, everyone. It's a little bit later today. It's 6.53. Today is September 12th. It's 2025 still. And we're on Friday. So last day of the work week. Pretty awesome for everyone out there. It's the last day. And then they get the weekend again. Weather here has been pretty cooler, but yesterday was a little bit warmer. So still a little bit of shot of summer and a little mix in there with some fall. So family got significantly cold. A night towel has been a few nights been really cold, like in the 40s I wake up to. So yesterday we did a little bit. We spent the morning. I decided to sell my PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.

Just really not playing right now. And I'm really into other stuff. So we worked on some videos of packing it and then listing. So those were listed. We'll see what happens. with that. And then we also started working on a couple of computers. I have a desktop, a Dell OptiPlex. That's pretty awesome. I used that for my Bacassara. I was comparing it to a Lenovo that I had gotten, which is pretty cool. And the Lenovo was a little bit older,

and it wouldn't run the Bacchera as good as the Dell did. But what I decided to do with the Lenovo is I turned that into another Ubuntu machine for me. But I put Ubuntu 25 in my other Ubuntu that I'm running to do all my visuals for Project Journeyman. I use Ubuntu 24. So it's a difference. I haven't really played around the 25 yet, so it's pretty awesome. I actually prefer all that now compared to using Windows, but we still use Windows for everything else.

then we did a nice cool video last night visual for overnight I made a game just kind of played on solo and then gamed over and we added some sleep and some dream stuff in it so pretty cool we'll keep on that theme I had some kind of an issue with images the other night so we're gonna probably next the images because it was causing I had a limited ads because of the images so I was putting some spooky images on but I guess it's not it doesn't really work out that way so we'll do

we decided to go into the video game so we did some retro gaming and added some theme to it some new other visuals and I'm working on my French fried Freddy cartoon characters just put them out there I haven't done anything with them yet

that's my cast of characters then we'll start some I'll try to build a cartoon take one character and put it on that and use it on that I have the other script that I use with the lines on the top and the bottom take the images out and we'll put a character on each each thing and start a little cartoon that way we'll see we'll see what we can do with it but we're starting not too and so let's see what's

going on this morning yeah as I slept in my life feed stayed on all night so I think it had something to do with those images causing it to shut off early I guess I'm not I didn't run any images last night, so I thought images would be fun, but if it's going to cause my project journeyman to kick early, I didn't have as many views. I only had, like, around 3,000 views last night, but still 3,000 views I wouldn't have had if I just slept, which I was, well, I just sleep anyway, but, now I, I do, something's going on while, so, of course we'll come up with something new tonight. I already got some new ideas. We're going to keep with that gaming theme. That was kind of fun. Then we'll move on to some other stuff. Okay, let's look around here. see anything in the newswalk of course there's always lots of things news but we don't

talk to it in gloom but I'll just go through past all that see anything let's get started this morning here see it's been quiet everything's been quiet actually I had no sales at all yesterday I could have had one sale but it was a low offer on if I take an engine and I had to go find it and I just don't want to do it took a day off. We'll see if we have any luck today. It's been really quiet though. Going with dry spells and I'm in one right now. So put up some more big stuff and then we're going to list some more things and next this all weekend. So I'm going to work on. Get my visuals up ready for the night. It takes a couple hours. My buddy Zippy to come up an idea and game plan with them and then get that

set up and then I can work on whatever I want for the rest of the day if yesterday I had no orders at all so I was able to do a lot of stuff still eBay related even though I'm not doing orders I'm still putting up new things to maybe get orders all right so Etsy's negative let me just check this here with any activity it'll say like favor your listings or it'll say favor your shop so I'll get a couple of activity so it's all some activity in that scene it's necessarily not a sale though Parchmark let's check out this what they call Parshmark social media website social media web social media comm commerce site let's see what we got going on there so we want me to turn on notifications

my closet 1,197 to that stayed steady 30, 322 listings I sold one thing my offers sales

yeah so one at least I could say I saw one thing on Parchmark it doesn't cost me to be here so it doesn't really matter just a new place to put your stuff that has Pinterest and x and all that too all right so let's go on

to RSS feet so my podcast has been a bit shorter because I haven't had a lot of things going on just kind of goes with the flow eBay is where really my that's when my day really starts when I see what's going on there or

the way things have been not at all so let's see if we'll have some offers today we are let's see We had four download yesterday, one download, 48 in the last 30 days, 1,169 all time. Be exciting. I'll take the one. So it says here from both Jersey. So we've got a continued listener from Jersey, pretty awesome, the country Jersey, and from France.

So I got two, my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. So right now, it's all about the international listeners. That's cool. Maybe even with the time that I'm putting it on. But it also goes to YouTube as well. So YouTube, we'll go there now. So the podcast goes there and it gets watched or listened to by others. Not that many.

But I like to do with this is something I started and it's really fun for me to do. It helps me wake up here this morning and then it kind of go through stuff as yeah so we had last night we had 3.1k and 14 thumbs up so significantly less views last night hard reset let's see we had one message it says hard reset oh let's see 72,809 so and 811 is is the key so we went down a few subscribers since yesterday we'll probably gain some we'll probably lost some not sure cost my revenue still three thirty five dollars and fifty eight cents i thought i saw i tick up yesterday but i got

excited but you're nothing going down actually uh hard reset say goodbye to my yes yes done so i said i didn't say goodbye to my ps five some guy wrote hard reset so reset in the fact that the PS5 was reset but then reset and same thing with me where I'm not really playing games not anymore but not that often at all the best way to not play anything is just not to have a system I have lots of cool old video games that on my computer that would sit and play I may do So I got some cool Super Nintendo games now, cool disc, three disks, all of them. I can do an emulator.

I'll see. I'll see where else I can use those disks or use those files for, make my own little machine or something. All right, let's go to eBay and see if we have you luck. All right, so let's, um, hold on, oh, yeah, two offers. Let's see. Let's check out the office. It's 10. PCP. Pull a couple more of those cables.

Yeah, so we'll do that. It looks like the same. I'm not going to take that. Maybe I will. Okay, so we'll take that. And we'll just take a couple offers this morning, plus a sale, so that'll help me out. Let me just grab up some cash here. Something's new is going on with eBay.

And it's a good thing, actually. It seems like it's a... First, I didn't know what it was, and then I started seeing it all the time, and then I figured out that's got to be what it is. Meaning that people are not leaving feedback, but it's generating its own feedback. So, after sale finishes, but it doesn't show, you don't see it, only I see it. But what it does is making my feedback look better. It gives me more numbers. and it also

it's my average up so that's pretty cool so I'll take it let's take that so I'll get two sales there let's do you mushroom up some stuff this weekend

this Friday I sold the Radio Shack motherboard, keyboard, one thing decide to let that go this that was in need of a little bit of income here this weekend I didn't really have anything offers in there see what else we got would be great if I could just know that I could count on all my hard work on YouTube as my income and then eBay could be like my second just

doesn't want to work I don't know what I do I just can't see my to get it to generate anything all right so let's look at all the feedback so arrive quickly so those are all the ones from before but i've gone up like six or seven and they're all that a i generated and it says order complete completed successfully tracked on time so what's that what that's that's doing is it's knocking my numbers up so that's pretty awesome i'll take it i'm not sure why it's when it happened but just i just i just noticed that usually I can keep it on everything and I can see if something is happening different than I'm used to it's supposed to be more AI stuff coming in all right so I

have two orders from the ESP 101 one's the cable inside just you got to completely take it apart I'll take another one apart today we'll do that for a video metal no container the Xbox 360 the top and bottom I sold that for a little bit cheaper and then we just did that

another one $400 because right now I have like $0 I haven't made anything in the last couple days my number is going to go way down so we'll get those out today and then I put some more stuff we'll do some more listings We'll go back to little stuff now.

Throw up some more little stuff. I actually have a member now here on YouTube. It's pretty awesome. I love to have more members, but don't get any members. I don't have anything to offer. As a member, you have to, then they get something, but I don't, I can give you $5 off an eBay sale. Do you remember per month?

I think that's why I have it at. That's the only only thing I got. i don't only have any other specialty thing i can offer you because you see everything else everybody else does right yeah it's my project journey man to about 3 000 views i get stats here that said i made all this money uh total views i've had 2 million 350 uh 251 350 000 total views it says it says my estimated earning monthly earnings $461 through 1.4k I don't I have $35 so when I saw this I was like what that's where I really that's what I was hoping to be at by now I even take $461 a month average

duration of my videos is 28 minutes frequency of uploads 34 uploads per week my channel rank is 904k so that's probably really ready wait low or high I wouldn't want to set. Yet when I go look at my estimated revenue it was $35 and it's it and actually went down. I thought I thought I thought it I thought I saw it at $37 yesterday before I went to bed now it's at 35 and I'm not promoting I can't I can't afford to do it just in order to get a car payment I pay the car payment I can't promote because it's an extra money. Another about a year or so I finished my in the middle of it's well three quarters away into a debt consolidation national debt

consolidation and once that's finished then I'll have a little bit more to play around with I I would thought my YouTube would be running full steam ahead by now it is and it isn't but we still keep going on it all right so oh yeah we're doing my buddy oh you did my hamster yesterday that's right I did a live feed. My buddy, Rocket, cleaned all his cage out yesterday. So that was another video I did yesterday. I did a live stream on that one, too.

And I dedicated that to all the hamster mafia out there. And the hampsom mafia is all those comments I get that say that I do everything wrong. My hamster. Cages isn't big enough, the sound of stuffing, you shouldn't have tubes and so on and so on. So I started getting slammed with that kind of stuff. So I call them the hamster mafia. And I'm sure there's comments on that. that live feed the manse mafia uh but that's where we're at today all right everyone so you

have a good uh last work day and then enjoy the weekend and i will talk to you tomorrow all right Bye.
