I’m still rocking my old Lenovo G780 I bought in 2012. Core i5 and a gt630. Wasn’t terribly expensive at the time, maybe $700-750 with an extra stick of RAM. I still use it every day. Upgraded the HDD to an SSD last year to buy it more time. Everything still works great but the battery is getting weaker… I’m lucky to get an hour out of it at lower brightness.

Having currently owned 5 JBL speakers, I respectfully disagree. Mine have all been fine and sound great. I’ve used my JBL Charge 4 since it came out in 2019 and it still works flawlessly, for example. I’ve had two Philips. One completely died and would no longer turn on, and the sound is very weak and poor on the newest one I just bought.

I keep trying to type this message out, but Reddit keeps glitching on me...
I got a newer version, the Philips TAS1505, and I was pretty disappointed with it. Little to no bass at all, and it doesnt get very loud. The JBL Go 3 is only $5 more right now and sounds worlds better. I use the Philips in the shower, and the JBL for when I care more about the sound quality. I will say that I like the way the Philips looks, and the battery life is better. For those without another bluetooth speaker to compare it to, it's probably acceptable.

I grew up using my parents' set of Tupperware that was red/orange/yellow, and have a sentimental attachment to them. I think they were called "Harvest Collection". Had many packets of ramen noodles in the larger bowls in those colors.

Reply to My MX Master 1 just died after 8 years - here’s why I still think it’s a BIFL product by joshjoshjosh42
I have a few MX Masters (a 2S and a 3) and for some reason they really bother my hand/wrist after a few hours of use. Not sure if it's the weight, or the angle it forces my hand into. I love the clicks and the scroll wheel on them, though. I find that the Logitech G502 or Razer Basilisk V3 work a lot better for my hand without making it hurt after a while. Logitech does make great products though. I used a G400s for 7 years and it still works great, I just wanted something different. Also used a G602 at work for a few years before wanting something with an infinite scroll wheel. I'm also pretty hard on my mice as my work requires a lot of clicking, scrolling, etc.

Reply to Phones and Headphones. by skykyub
If you're into PC gaming, I've been rockin' the Steelseries Arctis 5 for years and it still works great. Easily serviceable/cleanable and relatively affordable. Good sound quality as well. I also use the Sennheiser PC38x. For music, I like using my Sennheiser HD6xx or HD58x for wired or my Bose QuietComfort 35ii or Sony WH-1000XM4 for wireless. I don't really expect wireless headphones to last for more than a few years, but you never know.

Yeah i dont know why it quoted that. I was just trying to reply to the post about it being braun instead of oral b. I just edited it and took the quote out since it glitched out initially.

The one I bought 3-4 years ago says both Braun and Oral B on the handle.

Reply to Lasko/Galaxy 3150/2150 12" oscillating fans circa 70s-80s. I've had the blue one for several years and just got the amber one to complete the set. Quiet, powerful, and efficient, they perform just as good as they look. by Xyspade
I have a blue Galaxy almost identical to yours on the left that still works flawlessly. Found it on the curb for free a few years ago. All it needed was a cleaning. Love that fan!

Absolutely. I still have my old HP laptop I bought in 2005 and that still works great, too, albeit extremely slow. I think I may even have the original battery in it but I can’t remember for sure. I remember i had the cpu fan replaced under warranty when it was new and the charging cable around 2009-2010. I hardly ever use it anymore, though.
