My work place has an app to open the front door. I refuse to use it and will continue to inconvenience myself by using my key.

Awesome! From other comments it seems like the good battery life one is more fitting of the trend so far, which is pretty surprising. It’s cool that the next generation is getting some good use out of one of them too!

Yay! Yeah we have definitely put our one through some abuse. It’s nice to see ours wasn’t a one off and they were just making good quality products back then!

[-] Username@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 months ago

Me too! Looking at the other comments my experience doesn’t seem to be unique either.

Oh no! Yeah that’s why I put the comment at the end. It’s such a shame but the cost cutting is definitely a reality. I got mine when they were fairly new to the market but a quick Google search says Logitech already owned them before they even started making the UE Boom speakers. It’s nice to see that others on here have had similar experiences with them but I guess maybe they are not something to buy new these days.

I was looking at my little speaker the other day and thinking to myself about how well it has done. My husband bought it for me about 10 years ago when we were just dating and had moved halfway across the world together with little money. It seemed like a big splurge at the time and we were using it to watch tv shows on our laptop without relying on the tinny laptop speakers (we didn’t have a tv). Fast forward to now and that speaker has traveled all over the place, been to the beach, been camping, been on sailing trips etc. and it still holds a charge really well and has pretty decent audio quality for its size. It even still looks good. I think ten years is pretty good for a little Bluetooth speaker, personally (maybe that's a normal amount of time?). Hopefully I can get many more years out of it. Anyway it feels strange to bring up older items and recommend them as BIFL because you never know if manufacturers have kept up their quality over the years. If these speakers are still being made with the same quality i definitely recommend them.

What country are you in? I would recommend bondi sands hydra but if you are in the States you cannot get it and your options get quite limited.

Shokz aren’t quite over the ear in the sense that you are thinking as they are bone conduction. But they are definitely put on and forget. I don’t know about buy it for life but they apparently have great customer service. I’ve had mine for about 4 years now I think and I love them. My friend had his for quite a few years and then something went wrong with the audio quality so he called up the company and they just sent him a new pair with zero hassle. He’s now definitely a customer for life. I think you would probably need to buy new for that kind of customer service though.

I love my leaf razor. Practically zero learning curve ( just a little nervousness with the weight at the beginning), three blade design and they are designed so you can just get regular safety blades from any company and snap them in half to use. I hate when companies design their products so you have to keep buying things like blades from them.

Ok great. Maybe a hat and UPF clothing would work better for you? I bought some innisfree serum and sunscreen when I was in Korea a few months back and I have really been enjoying their formulations so I just ordered the green tea seed moisturiser from them and it arrives tonight. I’ll let you know how it is. Their sunscreen is super light and watery and on more humid days in Florida I feel like the serum is plenty hydrating that I don’t even bother with a moisturiser and my skin feels great.

Do you have a sunscreen that you still use over the moisturiser or are you hoping for a moisturiser with spf?

Trilogy Rosehip Transformation cleansing oil, Bloomeffects royal tulip nectar moisturising nectar and Bondi Sands Hydra UV protect SPF 50+ face fluid. It's hard to choose between Tretinoin and the Bloomeffects moisturiser, especially since I think the tretinoin has more of an overall effect on my skin but for the times i need moisturiser I REALLY need moisturiser. If I were allowed to have the moisturiser as a back up item that was hidden away in my back up cabinet I would choose Tret instead as part of my 3 :D
