Does it count as reliable if I only have sample size of 1?

Beyerdynamic. Had DT770 pro for 8 years before they "broke" (cable connection failed, I think it's still fixable--making them last for many more years---by someone with skills I don't have, and they could have lasted more if I handled them a tad better.)

Recently I replaced them with DT770 pro X and they sound perfect to me.

Beyers are tanks, my DT770s are old enough to vote. The few parts that do tend to break are trivially cheap to buy replacements for.

Patagonia since they also offer repair services in the event of damage and are relatively ethical.

I never had any problem with any Kindle that I had. Paperwhite is a wonderful device

I've worked with a lot of people who do hard, physical labor outdoors and they are almost always in Carhartt gear. Either that or Duluth Trading Company, which is what I wear.

Hottest take on this site: Apple.

I use my 2011 MacBook Pro to manage my 80k photos. My phone is six years old. My iPad Pro is five? (Edit: I lied, it’s a 2017 model) Years old.

I don’t use their desktops, I use Linux for my servers and windows for playing games. But my Apple shit for casual use has all lasted me an insane amount of time.

My 13 year old MacBook Pro still gets through 1.75 playthroughs of Beetlejuice on max brightness! Full disclaimer, I originally bought it for games and used Windows 7 always plugged in, and only now it has an SSD and OSX and the battery has 30 cycles. BUT STILL

Until you realize you can't replace ram or batteries...
