I'm curious if anyone would vouch for a TV manufacturer? Are there any good dumb TVs anymore? I have a Samsung smart TV and it is an absolute pain in the ass to use the remote UI. I have resorted to running KODI on a Linux box instead.
I have an ASRock Mobo rn! their software is kinda shit but the mobo itself is great
Asrock used to be budget boards, did that change? When? I never consider them unless on very tight budgets for that reason.
Samsonite, I'm on my 3rd backpack of theirs. I've been using them since I was about 11 or so, I'm 26 now.
They're not officially water or wear proof, but they've always been that way in my experience regardless. Even after years of daily use,and I was a weird school going kid that liked his bag heavy.
Their zippers failed on my on both my previous bags, when they got really cold in the winter. I don't know if it's the less cold temperatures of today, or whether they've improved their zippers, but they've not failed on my latest bag. Which is currently about 13 years old I think? It looks as good as new still
YKK zippers have a reputation for holding up though I've had one or two recently that didn't last (you can see YKK on the handle)
Wouldn't a general location be important here?
Like if I said that I trust X toilet paper brand that only exists in the US, how would I know that it helped in any way? Maybe you live in Ireland?
The Internet had made location pretty obsolete.
With a quick search, I can find out more info on any of these brands, including if they are available in my area, and we should all be doing our own research anyway; this thread is just a good place to start.
Costco. And if they suck, never a question returning.
Lush, specifically their shampoo. I would use other stuff of theirs but I live in a country which they do not sell in, so the shampoo (which lasts for ages) is something I buy a lot of when I can get it.
Apple I generally trust (computers, not phones, those are too expensive and limited).
This might sound weird, but Apple. I was NEVER disappointed by any of the products I bought. Sure, they are fucking expensive. Sure, they sometimes release really dumb products that most people probably shouldn't buy (e.g. the 2015 MacBook). But if you make all the right considerations before your purchase, I'm pretty sure you will have a product that won't disappoint you. At least that's been my experience so far. That doesn't mean that I'm perfectly happy with everything, for example I'm trying to switch away from an iPhone (I will definitely keep using macOS laptops/desktops though) for privacy reasons. I wasn't really disappointed here, when I bought this phone, I knew what I was getting myself into, but Google isn't much better.
Proton for secure email/calendar/whatever they offer now. I've been a subscriber to their paid plan for years, really happy so far.
IVPN and Mullvad for a trustworthy, private VPN provider
Keeley and MXR guitar pedals
Flowfold makes great, long-lasting products from recycled materials. I’ve got a few of their products and continue to be impressed.
