I didn't see any of the hype for the Barbie movie (apparently they painted streets in London pink?), but I just went in and saw it. Awesome film

Also: A laser tape measure. I always heard about people ranting about them, and often thought "I get it I get it you're a child who likes shiny things", but I finally got one and it is one of my most prized possessions. I can now find out the distance to things like THAT.

Didn't live up the hype: I caved in and got a mechanical keyboard. A nice one. Keychron something such. I now have a heavy clackety-clack keyboard. That's it. The usual plastic 15 quid keyboards I get are only every so slightly less good. Don't buy into this fad. It's for ASMR fanatics and their heavy wallets

What do you use your keyboard/computer for and for how long if you don't mind my asking?

I'm at my machine 12+ hours a day, coding, data analysis, grant writing, etc.
I might play some online games too
