Unicorn beatle pro is very good. I used to swear by the griffen defender but switched to the unicorn. Great cases.

I was unaware BIFL bed toppers were a thing. Sheets I understand but I've had the same quilt and comforter since I was old enough to make the decision for myself

That seems to be what I'm coming back to. Thank you for the info.

I see... If you want the best value, it's Spigen for sure. It's not the best case, but it's really rugged and resilient. I had it for years on my Samsung without any problem. My model didn't have the plastic screen cover, I used a separate screen protector

I have a 10 year of Herman Miller. Looks and functions like new.

Moulinex… Mouli!

Sorry in advance this may trigger 80’s kids

I work blue collar in a factory so I'll definitely be using one of the sticky screen protectors.

That said the Spigen comes with a plastic screen cover that I see a lot of people reporting issues with.

I've tried to use the warranty before and it's difficult to say the least.

I fidget too much with the charging port cover and it inevitably rips off, same goes for the rubber covering around the base which causes the rubber shell to separate.

The plastic has also gotten cracked on me once in a backpack.

But to my knowledge it is the most durable reliable phone case on the market that does an amazing job protecting your device.

I'm just cheap and hell on gear.

Damn! I hadn't heard of that brand in years. My mom still has and uses a Moulinnette like the one in this photo since the 80s.

Many things used to be near buy it for life. The terminology is still used in government economic reports. Appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves and more are still called “durable goods”. They sure were. Not any more. Today things are not built to last. They call that….

“planned obsolescence”

a policy of producing consumer goods that rapidly become obsolete and so require replacing, achieved by frequent changes in design, termination of the supply of spare parts, and the use of nondurable materials. =profit!

1000? Is that in USD? They cost 865 according to a quick Google - what drove the cost up for you if that is in USD?

Good catch. I think I see some! What should I do to prevent it spreading? It's only the black part that's in danger right - the silver part is stainless?

Is there a problem with the OtterBox Defender? I was looking to buy one for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and its lifetime warranty really appealed to me.

Incredible

I have a Mazzer grinder (another BIFL item) which I also got used - but for a "reasonable" used price instead of "hungover Savers employee pressing random numbers to get 10 billion items out in a day" pricing (450 dollars).

I tried them out but I found them too narrow for me and the heel tread wore out in under a year of 32 hour weeks on dirt and asphalt. They sent me a replacement pair but they’re too uncomfortable for me to want to break in. I switched to Jim green and have been much happier

I'm actually installing that mod on this Silvia, assuming you mean Gaggiuino. Guess you could say Ranciliuino but Zero_Bit (the creator) would prefer you didn't call it anything other than the original name. Internally Silvia is pretty similar to a Gaggia; they're both simple single boiler machines with similar control schemes. The main difference is that Silvia has a bigger boiler.

Go on ebay and look for terms people who don't know anything about espresso call them. "Expresso maker" or "Cappuccino machine". Usually means the seller doesn't know anything about the item and is selling it for way too little.

American, actually. Is savers also in Australia?

I do not know the origing, but my uncle has been saying it since before Reddit was a thing.

Haven't put the sticky screen guard on any of my phones in ages. The gorilla glass or whatever it is they use for screens now is strong enough. I've always felt like that was putting a band-aid on something that isn't even broken.

Back in the day my iPhone screens would crack like regular glass, but nowadays I don't feel it's needed.

Just looked it up - it's Corning Gorilla Glass - very strong stuff as long as you don't work construction and drop your phone into concrete two stories up everyday

That's what Savers is like too most of the time. You just have to get lucky / an employee has to have epically failed for this kind of deal.

Every office chair in the history of the world claims to be ergonomic, so remove that as a purchase factor from your brain. Serious...not being cute.

Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale....there are others and the search engine will help you find them. Which one is right for you? No one can answer that as looks and budget and options play a role.

Have you modded anything or is it still stock?

Do you have to use the plastic screen cover?
