A Tribit Bluetooth speaker. It's waterproof, loud enough and lasts for many hours. I use it in the shower mostly, but it's been a car speaker, landed in mud and been washed in the sink. Is good

My first iPhone, the 6s. I'm sure if I still had it, it would still be kicking ass. After that I got the SE 2, the 13 Pro, and now the 16 Pro Max. I do like having USB-C, but the SE 2 and 13 Pro were unnecessary.
So, an iPhone — but you really have to be careful. Some of them are bested by the next one. A few of them are good to run for a decade or so.
Not dumping on Android. I went through a few of them before I switched, and I liked the Galaxy S3. The others were all trash. I have a Galaxy S10 and I love it. I think these days it really doesn't matter what you have as long as it has USB-C (for universal charging) and it's decent or recent. The S10 will run for ten years. A lower-end Galaxy from a few years more recent would probably be fine, too. And that's the thing with iPhone — none of them are bad, per se, they're all flagship quality, they just have different compromises. Some Android phones are straight up duds. If you're fairly tech savvy, this isn't an issue. So, if you don't like Apple, get a Galaxy S26, it should last you a long time. If you do, the iPhone 17 is the best deal in tech. It should last you at least a decade if you don't suffer from FOMO.
MacBook Air. I've gone through a few Wintel laptops. None of them are good. No laptops are great for gaming, so you might as well get the MacBook. For a desktop, it's a harder decision because no Macs are reallly good for gaming; even if you spend a few grand on a Studio, it's only gonna be mediocre for gaming and you have fewer choices. Spend less on a decent gaming PC and have a better time. If you don't care about gaming, it's an easier decision.
My Framework 13.
A Logitech speakers system. Got it about 20y ago when the brand was still awesome (and actually called Logitech). 100% analog and it works to this day. I dread the day it dies.
i bought a new 2.1 system for my pc a few years ago and there isnt much that changed compared to the old ones. so you don't have to fear as much enshittification as in other Logitech branches

The Dirtywave M8 handheld music tracker. It’s a studio in your pocket. It looks like a goth Game Boy, using only 8 keys to create entire songs. It has multiple synth engines, a sampler, built in limiter, compressor, and effects, an amazing sequencer, and it just sounds awesome. It can be an audio interface, it can control other hardware synths, and you can use it anywhere.
Once you learn the basic controls and navigation, the user interface is easy and consistent. I suck at making music, but I can do it so fast on the M8 because it’s always with me and I can grab random chunks of downtime to work on songs instead of wasting time doomscrolling on Lemmy.
….wait
A robot vacuum still brings me joy every day
And my shockz bone conducting headset is great
And replacing windows with cachyos
Recently, I'd say it's the new¹ desktop/monitor I got. Needed a monitor upgraded and new HDMI ti make it all work. I was a little bummed about the monitor upgrade since the old TV I was using works perfectly fine, but the new monitor at least takes up less bulk and weighs less, so I'm not as worried about a collapsing desk.
Definitely an upgrade from the ~$400USD budget computer I got around 2021. Don't remember what graphics card, but as a software guy and not a hardware guy, I see 2021 release year and the ability to run Yooka-Laylee without lag and I am happy.
Don't have access to it right now, so I cannot say anything more specs wise. Either way, I like it well enough.
¹ new as in from a pawn shop. Got lucky.
Comma 3x it’s a module that adds sensors and compute to turn your car into a level 2 self driving vehicle.
Glinet travel router. I always have both wifi and hardline with me wherever I go, whether or not I have either.
Sabrent thunderbolt dock. It has NVME drives inside of it so I can have my laptop be mobile then come home and have all my games ready to go.
Dockcase dongle. Most dongles suck, this does 100 watt pass through charging, gigabit, 4k 120hz and 20gb transfers on the ports.
Garmin Instinct 2 Watch. I like the look of it.
Innioasis Y1 Digital Audio Player. I love it. Looks like the classic iPod.
