I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
An impulse buy of a $20 micro wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Holy shit. Rock-solid design, ludicrously long battery life, excellent signal transmission, a replaceable battery with the option to use AAAs, a usable trackpad with sensitivity settings. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with this device as an electrical engineer.
Now I can actually get real work/play done when I’m too depressed to get out of bed. It’s also really useful for working with a Raspberry Pi. That plus a cheap LCD means I can just use it like an ordinary desktop.
If anyone is interested in this product, ask for a link and I’ll post it in the comments.
Its been 22 mins.
Sad to bring you guys the bad news it but it was confirmed that OP was electrified while changing the AAA batteries in his keyboard. Apparently it also has a feature to scale up the voltages of the battery and OP accidentally pressed it.
RIP in piece OP
Post the link! This isn’t Twitter where you get penalized for posting links.
Here’s the link. I didn’t know you get penalized for links on Twitter. I’m just really hesitant to advertise stuff. I absolutely hate advertising and I didn’t want to fill up your feed with random products if no one was interested in the thing. I wanted to wait until there’s actual interest.
Had the same reaction to buying a cheap trackpad/keyboard all in one - ended up buying a few more so I could have one in each room… Good for main pc, laptops, phones and tablets, Flawless signal, insane battery, such good tech
I found having a big glass of water next to my alarm, which I can chug as soon as I wake up does wonders for getting out of bed and fighting off the AM blues - hope you’re good
I have KDEConnect, but I’m in a weird situation where my desktop and phone are on different networks. Desktop is on Ethernet, and phone is on Wifi. Can’t afford a wireless adapter for my desktop at the moment. I got Debian with KDE last month, so I’m really looking forward to using it whenever I move out.
For people asking for the link, I personally have iClever BK03. Bought it so I can use my phone on the go and don’t have to drag a laptop. It’s been great. Charged it once so far in past year or so and that was just to make sure. Awesome build quality and great to type on.
