Oh jeez… if you think olight is good, check out sofirn or intl-outdoor.com . There is a whole WORLD of flashlights and olight is the laughing stock, my good sir. Go find the flashlight group on lemmy and you’ll never look back.
But I agree with this guy, my 4000 lumen titanium D4V2 is always in my pocket. Way quicker than fumbling with your phone and provides way more usable light too.
I guess so, but for the price, it’s a good torch that fits my needs. It also has a magnetic back which I used several times to stick it somewhere and have my hands free.
But this EDC stuff gets expensive and the choices are limitless. Get what you like and what fits you.
It does get expensive… glances at my $500 of flashlights
But if olight works for you, go for it. I’ve never owned an olight so I cannot offer a proper comparison, but sofirn has a lot of really good option that are usbc rechargeable, have magnetic tail caps, and are easily 1000-4000 lumens. Sofirn also operates on anduril which is an open source ui for flashlights that can be very complex yet has a lot more versatility.
I have tinnitus, and bought a Bluetooth audio sleep mask so that I could sleep with the TV off and not keep my partner awake. That in itself was a game changer, but on top of that, I sleep way better with my eyes covered and I use it now even when I’m not listening.
(It’s extra weird because I have thick eyelids and see black when I close my eyes even in a well lit room, so I never considered that I’d need one.)
I got it as a present rather than buying it myself but my tire pressure / tread depth measuring tool gets near constant use so it’s super easy to check on my car’s tires when I need to
I have two items I bought for my upcoming Aviation Maintenance training this December. A usb rechargeable flashlight and a 17-in-1 multitool, both which will come in mighty handy these next few years
@Fumbles Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones. Though I suspect the noise cancellation doesn't work as well. Also it's been several years, I wonder if they make new ones like they used to.
On that theme: MegaBoom 3 (without Alexa etc) speaker. Awesome bass and volume for a portable, waterproof. Great for bike parties and frankly a shower radio.
If you asked me 10 years ago I'd probably not expect to love any Bluetooth devices.
Fuck Bezos, but this fidget spinner with a tiny built in knife. It’s actually pretty durable and I’ve used both sides a lot. It’s also a great fidget spinner for me since I clip my keys to my waist.
A small fan with usb port for 10-20cad. I used to get hot in the summer, so I bought a fan, soon after I started using it at night while I was sleeping, and it worked perfect. Point it to my bed, set it to speed 2 and sleep.
