Mobile devices
#

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar Tactical
#

  • I used to have a Pebble Steel, so i wanted a smartwatch that could last me a week. (check)
  • Mostly used for timers and audio controls. I don’t really dip into the metrics as much as i was planning to, but it’s nice to see step-count and sleepscore (if i don’t forget to wear it overnight).
  • Only notifications that get through are Phone, SMS, Signal, Arlo (security cam), and Ajax (security system)
  • I also used to use the “Emergency assistance” option to give my S/O a live feed of how far out i was picking her up.
    • I also accidently (and unknowingly) started the above taking a shit, which made her yell from the first floor if i was fine mid-dump. Classic comedy.

Flipper Zero
#

  • mostly used to clone Amiibo’s, cloning hotel access cards, and change channels on tv’s.

Nothing Ear (1)
#

  • I bought them on sale after i lost my previous earbuds. They’re pretty great.

Razer Basilisk v3 mouse
#

  • Fuck the MX Master and its brick-like feel.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface
#

  • The G.O.A.T of small usb capable audio interfaces.
  • I bought this in search of an ASIO-capable interface like 10+ years ago, and it’s still chugging along, despite all the abuse it received.

KRK KNS-6400 Headphones
#

  • Basic monitor headphones with a good sound range. 10+ years old, and only now the foam in the cups are probably in need of replacement after daily usage.
