    I typically buy parts and peripherals from Amazon. Newegg can be good for the mail in rebates or discounts that you can get.

    I typically don’t shop at bestbuy unless I have to but I also live 20 minutes outside of town where I am so thats 40 minutes of driving that I don’t wanna do typically.

    Keychron was my last keyboard purchase, very happy with it. Full size mechanical keyboard, replaceable switches, so heavy I could probably kill someone with it, good keyboard.

    Edit: I’m in the US so didn’t think of micro center off the bat, but great option if you have access.


  • He is an absolute menace for me since I work from home most of the week. He’s my little guy and as annoying as he can be, I wouldn’t want it any other way.

    And yes I constantly annoy him with squishing his face, pinching his cheeks, picking him up which he does not like but tolerates for 10 seconds, and playing hitting him which he loves because he’s a sadist and just likes being touched in almost any way.




  • I love this idea, because I often have questions like this as I transition away from proprietary software to open source alternatives

    I think listing what software equivalents it might replace listed in the card.

    I do see its listed when you click on the info card in the main list, but having it be visible before that might be helpful.

    I know a lot of people won’t like the little ad cards when you do click on a software to review its page, but I think the way you implementted it is good. Its not intrusive and clearly states its an ad.

    Edit: removed bit about categories.




  • Only real use ive found for an old android phone was using it as a backup alarm clock. Surprisingly kind of hard to find alarm clocks that are as good as ones on a phone.

    Another good use could be gaming handheld for emulators.

    Emergency backup phone thats charged up in your car? Idk dude with the way phones are locked down and the difference across them, hard to really have any use afted security updates end uness you wanna patch your own kernal.
