#9338" Ultrawide with Thunderbolt 3. Got rid of a ton of wires and the ugly hub on my desk. I no longer deal with random glitches that require restarting my computer to fix. It's just one seamless screen that makes my desk look clean and uncluttered. With one cable it charges my laptop while docked, provides audio and video, and carries USB signal from any USB devices plugged into the monitor (just a dongle for my keyboard/mouse). I'm in love with it.

#94Not sure this counts as hardware, but I finally bought a hi-fi and spent quite an uncomfortable amount on old Congolese records. I found the idea of spending so much on something so indulgent difficult at the time but it brings me immeasurable joy, so ultimately no regrets.
Any online store you would recommend for high quality old Congolese records?

#96Remarkable Tablet. It has allowed my save paper and definitely worth buying it. It just makes things so much easier such as taking handwritten notes and sharing it
I'm thinking of buying it for my girlfriend who's a biologist and uses a lot of paper. What are the pros and cons in your experience..?
Best writing experience of all tablets out there. OCR is pretty good for xoncerting wrotong. The quality of the output is pretty noisy and lackluster in terms of sketching.
Beautiful as a notebook. Lackluster if you want it as an artist and you plan on using the drawings you make as anything other than a png.
I happy with mine :D.

#97Microwave with air frying functionality from Samsung. It’s really, really convenient. Making gratin without preheating is a game changer. Robot vacuum cleaner. Going for a run and starting the cleaner midrun is quite nice. From cleaning every three weeks to twice a week helps my nose. Apple Watch, using it instead of the phone cut my phone addiction in half. You can’t be addicted by the watch and it has Spotify, call…
Can you share product name??
Samsung MW5100H and roborock s6

I’ve been looking for a good drawing app for ipad. Is ProCreate easy to learn?
I believe so, however I already have a little experience with some of the concepts they use (layers particularly, although that's not too hard to grasp). Then again I'm probably only using 10% of its true capacity. What I did was search for a few simple Procreate youtube tutorials and mimic them. I found these ones good--even if the end product isn't something you are aiming for, you get the basics down in creating t…
Awesome, thanks!

#99New office set-up for working from home. An adjustable height desk, an anti-fatigue mat for standing, and also a new office chair for sitting.
Also received my Remarkable 2, which I'm quite enjoying.
