Little remote ring for my phone. I can change the music/volume during my walks without having to dig my phone out of my pocket/etc. I also use it when gaming to change songs without having to put down the controller, same when I'm knitting.
Like an actual ring you can wear? What's it called?
This was the one I purchased.
My air fryer... Also my Casio watch.
Where do you get so cheap air fryers/Casio watches?
My air fryer was $15 from best buy around thanksgiving two years ago. Classic casio watch is under $20 from Amazon.
This is almost the air-fryer I picked up. Mine is white, but they don't sell this size anymore. :( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/bella-pro-series-4-2-qt-manual-air-fryer-black/6507322.p?skuId=6507322
Maybe it'll come back.
Stole them.
I bought a nice pair of fingernail clippers. ~$15 Green Bell from Japan. You hardly have to apply any force to the lever at all, and the nail just slices off neatly and falls inside. Not like my old cheapo pair that went "KACHONK" and endangered anyone in my vicinity of shrapnel injuries.
I have one of those Japanese nail clippers. I'm wondering how they make it cut so softly. Like even if it didn't eat the nails they wouldn't launch. Best clippers ever, even if it's harder to get the edges.
Pretty sure they're just incredibly sharp. The Japanese like to sharpen things.
I'm betting that it almost all comes down to sharpness and using better metal (harder, keeping it sharp)
Well Wet Bob, you made me laugh.
VE Monk in-ear headphones. Easily the best audio value in the world. Prepare to have your mind blown by the sound. Look up reviews
I concur. VE Monk and it's successor Monk Plus are the best $5 earphones you'll ever use. They compete against earphones in the $100-$150 category. Don't let their appearance fool you, they look like a cheap crappy plastic pair you'd get for free with a discman. But their audio quality I'm phenomenal.
I'll note here, the VE Monk success has spawned a bunch of competitors in the very-cheap-but-shockingly-good category, notably look at the Faaeal Snow Lotus and Faaeal Iris, I have both and they are great.

You must be matured around my age talking about discmans like that. Although, The last "discman" i bought was a portable CD player, and wireless earbuds didn't exist.
This is crazy, according to wiki: "The Sony brand name for Discman changed to CD Walkman, initially for Japanese lineups launched between October 1997 and March 1998,[1] and then entirely in 2000. Discman and CD Walkman players were discontinued at the beginning of the 2010s when they lost popularity with the general public."
Makes me feel a little old...
They are good but do they still make them find it hard to find them
I got a new pair of VE Monk Plus about 10 months ago, from AliExpress, but I haven't looked recently.
Baby don't hurt me

No more.
Thinkpad T440p docking station, I get everything these days is USB C but I love having a docking station thats sturdy and has tons of ports vs a dongle that hangs off the side of my laptop and has maybe six ports.
Managed to pick up an attachable bidet toilet washlet for around $16. Worth every penny.
Why not get a small 1l cup instead?
I have the medium sized, it's great!
A pi zero w. Need a wireless Android Auto adapter? Flash the right image. Need a Klipper controller for a 3D printer, flash the right image. Need to add a wireless thumb drive to any device that you can drop files to over the network? Flash the right image and run a few commands. They are very cheap and insanely versatile. I originally got a handful for $5 each and am still finding uses for them.
I'm gonna go buy one for that wireless android auto, I never even considered a dongle let alone a DIY pi dongle! do you have a link for that wireless thimbdrive one too? and/or is there an easy way to browse other interesting images/tasks you can do with the pi zero w?

It gives instructions for starting from a desktop OS, I just started with a headless OS to begin with. Then you can skip disabling the desktop and go straight to setting it up.
I use it for sending files to my resin 3D printer that doesn't have wifi built in. I just power on the printer before I prep files and then I can save them to the printer over the network.
For finding more uses, probably searching Hack-a-Day. That's probably how I've found these over the years.
Bought a Rovyvon keychain flashlight I believe was around $20 that's amazing. It's Iike 650 lumens or something and it's tiny so I just have it on my keychain and turn it on at night if I need it in a jiffy.
Love is a bit of an overstatement, but I got a cheap Walmart brand USB hub for my laptop since it only has a single USB male (female?) port and I needed more for my mouse and thumb drives. Definitely worth it to ensure I could save work to my thumb drive at college.
Male: with connector outside (like penis) Female: with connector inside (like vagina)
Terms arose before trans people got so visible, so there's that Male: with connector outside (like penis) Female: with connector inside (like vagina)

Its amazing for both tasks related and unrelated to playing with my cat

I keep an extremely small 64GB USB-A/USB-C flash drive on my Keychain so I can move files between phones, phone to computer, or load movies and TV shows from a computer or phone and plug into a TV to play.
It's only $10 and sometimes it's very convenient to always have on hand the ability to move files around without the use of a network or the cloud or whatever. The size of it is extremely small.
