On the excellent stuff I bought, and you mention keyboard, my Keychron Q6 Max is just a massive master piece. Works perfectly with any machine, you can reprogram it's internal memory, swap keys virtually and it stays what ever the machine you plug it to. Also each switch and keycap is replaceable, no more issue like the expensive Logitech G910 crap that failed on me after half a decade and that is not programmable outside Windows with the proprietary Logitech app.</p>]]></content:encoded>

I could do a very long list of purchase regrets but also a nice one on excellent purchase decisions.</p><p>Usually I regret more buying cheap stuff, I say to myselft, hey why not, it's just 10, 20, 30 bucks but then it's just one more useless Chinoisium crap taking space in my drawers or directly to get burned in the trash. Last in date, a USB vacuum / air blower to clean up keyboard and electronic but it sucks or sucks not at all, completly useless.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just remember: every useless/EOL smartphone is still, potentially, the best music/podcast player you could dream off compared with mp3 players back in the day :-p. With bluetooth. And without a sim card you will not be disturbed anymore while listening music. I didn't know a fitbit is a good alarm clock.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Love this! Maybe you can do a companion video on your favorite linux devices? Or linux adjacent?</p>
<p>For me, my worst purchases are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ouya</li>
<li>pixel phone(s)</li>
<li>ebook tablet (I forget the name but it was one of B@N first iterations of it).</li>
</ol>
<p>And a host of others.</p>
<p>Best was:</p>
<ol>
<li>5th gen kindle (just replaced the battery) more than a decade old.</li>
<li>system 76 laptop is my daily driver. Its 7ish years old now and still working very quick.</li>
<li>Tape player that doubled as a clock....30 years later still works and is useful every day!</li>
</ol>
<p>I also love the steam deck but ive been reading more than playing games lately.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Volla phone: not that it's a bad phone, but they don't sell battery replacement in Canada, so mine is a useless brick now. I tried contacting them and they agreed to sell me one but they never sent me the links so I can pay and it takes 2 weeks to get any responses.</p>

I'm having hopes that the Motorola - GrapheneOS understanding may bring Graphene to a lot more devices than it supports right now, and that would be neat!</p>]]></content:encoded>
