Dehumidifier - 5 years and counting drying laundry indoors overnight with no risk of rain or wind!
Last January I got a new laptop that blows my desktop out of the water in terms of specs. I was dumb and decided to get a budget desktop because of all the USB ports and the disk drive it has. It was something like $300-400USD. My current laptop was roughly $1000USD before tax.
Had to remove the complete spyware win11, but otherwise it's been a great laptop (minus the few times I've either somehow broken MXLinux or broke KDE Plasma). Totally better than my old laptop as well considering I don't need to constantly charge my new one to keep the battery from dying and it doesn't have a lot of damage.
My current gaming computer. Besides a faulty wi-fi adapter that leaves online gaming a lot to be desired and failing HDD's because of old age, I haven't touched a physical console besides the Nintendo Switch in years. When you have a powerful computer you can emulate pretty much anything which I feel is an upgrade in comparison to a console which can only play games that are specifically made for that console.
If you thought many PS3 and PS2 games looked beautiful before, my gosh...they look even more beautiful in 4K!! Bonus if they're able to go up to 60 FPS when they natively ran at 30 due to console limitations. Raytracing + HDR mods are always yummy too!
A Fujitsu Lifebook U9310x convertible laptop.
It's my main computing device, which doubles as a tablet.
It's light enough to take anywhere, has over 12h of battery on Linux, and holds up better mechanically than my Thinkpad.
Smart oven + meal plan: My spouse bought me one for my birthday (a Tovala) and I have to admit I was skeptical at first but hot diggity damn does it make fresh cooked meals easy. We very rarely order out now and the meals are usually very good (stay away from the burgers though, their bread usually sucks).
