Two "gadgets" that I'm never without. My Leatherman multitool and my RovyVon Aurora flashlight. The multitool with locking blades is like carrying a toolbox on your hip. And that flashlight - it's 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, but it can kick out a beam that lights up things 1000 feet away. Or provide enough light to read by for 40 hours. Yeah, I can use the smartphone's flash, but it isn't bright enough to show me if the two eyes reflecting back at me belong to a dog or a bear. That's important where I live.

It's a common thing I read on here. All the swiss pocket knives, Leatherman and flashlights. What are you people doing with those? I cannot remember the last time one of these items has been relevant to me.
I'm a network engineer, I always have a flashlight on me since I have to get into crawl ways to chase cables
I personally have an Acebeam E70 Mini because it's high CRI and non-PWM.
For work that's one thing, but from what I read here, there's a whole bunch of people running around with multitools on their belts in their private time.
I'm almost curious what kind of life you live? You never find yourself in a situation where having a knife, screwdriver, pliers, or a flashlight on you wouldn't be a huge convenience?
Well, sure I do have to fix something around the house or something like that, but then I got my trusty toolbox with all the stuff I need, so I have no need for multitools on my belt.
The Panic Playdate. Itβs just a really nice gaming console that is getting a lot of support from game devs. Itβs one of the very few truly portable handhelds as it can easily fit in a pocket and the battery lasts forever too.
If it counts, definitely the Steam Deck. With that and emulators, it's like having almost every game I've ever owned in one portable machine.
In a similar vein, I love my ps vita. Hacked, it's an absolutely amazing console, and is able to boast the "actually fits in my pocket" award.
Such a cool console. Sony butchered it, but theres still so much fun to be had with it. We got a GTA san andreas port by the community ffs
I just got one so reading this makes me hopeful. Fallen out of love with gaming a bit in recent years
Also just ordered mine. Since I started working fulltime remote a year ago, I found myself not wanting to spend more time on my desk after work. That translated into me almost giving up gaming even though I used to love it. Moving to a place where I can have a second desk would cost me one Steam Deck per month so I just went with a Steam Deck lol
I have two items I bought for my upcoming Aviation Maintenance training this December. A usb rechargeable flashlight and a 17-in-1 multitool, both which will come in mighty handy these next few years
Could you tell me what flashlight and multitool you got?
Course! [Here's the Multi-Tool](Multitool Knife 17 in 1Fire... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYRN75WT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and [Here's the flashlight!](Hoxida LED Tactical Flashlight,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T96Y3QX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
Thanks!
A good pair of headphones and a decent amp and dac to power them. It's like discovering music all over again.
