Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

My Hansker Performance mouse. No wrist pain anymore and I can switch it between desktop and my laptop using the switch on the bottom

Lately, it’s been the MCON. It’s a little slide-out phone controller that mounts to my phone even when the case is on. So now while I’m on the road to my next photography thing, I’m not just limited to touchscreen games anymore. Working through Control lately!

I got the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Great camera. I used it to make this video:

I also got a Bambu Lab P1S combo. It’s really great. I used it to make frames for all of my wife and my wedding photos. I printed 28 frames and hung them all on the wall.

Bought one of the cheap fitness trackers (Xiaomi Band 8) out of curiosity for the step counting.

Has become one of my most used tech items ever.

Incredibly useful, not just the fitness tracking (that too, though - probably also actually improved my health).

Checking messages without taking out the phone, setting timers for all kinds of stuff, an alarm clock that alarms not my wife but just me, remote controlling audio and video playback, and - last but not least - after 20 watch-less years finally being able to tell the time just by looking at the arm again :-)

Late to the party, but my Sonos home theater system has been an absolute joy.

I got myself Maytak Audio custom IEMs for Christmas. Absolutely fantastic. They replaced all my other headphones and earbuds.

Soundpeats Wireless Airbuds. They are just really good wireless headphones for the price point. Pre tariffs I got them for like $40. I like that I don't have to stress about losing them.

Denon DJ SC LIVE 4.

I originally wanted an Pioneer/AlphaTheta turntable system since I started on Rekordbox, but after some research I found out that the SC LIVE 4 has what a (nearly) equivalent $3000 Pioneer model has at a more reasonable $1300.

Shinobi Tex mechanical keyboard - full size, trackpoint, feels amazing

A PCPanel Mini.

It was one of those things that went from no idea anything like it existed to solving a problem I'd been dealing with since I got a computer.

I believe they're out of stock forever now and the company had some issues with support and refunds, but I got mine, it works, it's great, and I'll use it for as long as I can!

Crazy, never heard of such a thing either but I can see how it would be useful.

I love how the website product description is "(In stock) pcmini panel", promptly followed by the status "out of stock". 🤣

my desktop pc built last year on am4 platform and ddr4 RAM, even though it's old since ddr5 had already been out for a year at that point for the gpu, I bought the amd 6800xt , and that had been out for 4 years already

It was great that I didn't feel ripped off, and it doesn't feel outdated yet.

Works great, and does everything I need it to do. Can play all the games I want to play.
