Nearly bought a portable monitor for cafe coding; it's just so great that there's a huge variety of panels being packaged & made available at decent prices now! 2k 16" 500 nit >60Hz HDR was my goal, and it was hard finding parametric matches. Just gonna put that idea on the shelf again, but it's excellent to see how much more is available.
Almost bought a "solar generator" to run some electronics off & feel good about, but sizing feels off. I need a signficant power station to feel ok running a potentially 600w+ computer, but then the station could handle more solar, but then I don't have enough ways to use all that power day to day. It feels weird. I wish I had the years to artisinally handcraft power systems for this all. It bugs me that 48v or wide-Vin DC power supplies aren't available to consumers; everything would be so much cooler if they were.
I did end up buying a couple hundred feet of cheap st38 string lights for patio space. And some small cheap 20w Neewer lights (rgb62), with their app control, to complement some bigger lights I use. And some better videography clamp mounts and magic ball arms, which among other things I want to use to mount my 360-degree camera onto my bicycle with, on a very extended arm for some spacy floaty ride around the city videos with. Bought a 512GB Samsung Pro Ultimate SD card for said camera. Finally bought the Premio Apagard toothpaste (nano hydroxyapatite) that I've been idling about. Bought some chai and some tea candles. Bought a Matter smart plug to dabble with.
