AITAH for wanting an expensive gift when we're financially unstable?

So little background info: I'm 17, still in school and living with my (36yo, if that's important) mom. I don't work, because in the country I'm currently in it's practically impossible to find a job until the day you're 18, so no income for me. I wouldn't call myself spoiled by any means. I rarely ask my mom for anything, may it be help or a favour. Even more rarely I ask for money because I get a...

My Saturn 2 needs a new power supply, are these YUSTDA ones any good? I know they're generic Chinese parts

Battery issue

I bought a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro Max in October from an electronics store that has genuine Apple parts (or so they say). They advertised it as almost new and with a new battery inside that was 100%. I traded my old phone for it and the new 15 worked wonderfully up until a week ago when it randomly shut off at 28% battery. I didn't give it any thought and just plugged it in and continued as nor...

An elegy for the Home Theater in a Box, the poor man’s cinema.

This is a bit different than the regular posts on this sub, but I felt compelled to write something more long-form while buying new A/V gear for the holidays. It arrived in a box that weighed less than a well-fed golden retriever, yet it promised the thunder of Olympus. It was 2012, and we were poor. Not the romantic, bohemian kind of poor, but the kind where "entertainment" was a varia...

ECOVACS X11 OmniCyclone stucking problem

Hi everyone, I could really use some honest advice. I was all set to buy a Roborock saros 10, but when I went to several electronics stores (including MediaMarkt), three different salespeople all recommended the ECOVACS X11 Omni instead. They said it has better cleaning performance, smarter AI, more effective dust storage, and handles liquids better than the S8 Pro. After hearing the same recomm...

I’m amateur listener, professional Music fan ;-) First (quality?) system

I’ve Loved Music since 5 years old listening to my Ma’s Beatles/Stones/Aretha/Dianna Ross records. I eventually took over her record collection and our crappy combo am/fm, turntable, 8-track after I discovered KISS and AC/DC and the Ramones and basically lost my mind completely ! In the 80’s I worked at a electronics store and a salesperson there got me a deal on b-stock components: a Proto...

Need help with deciding between the B5 and C5.

Hi, I recently bought the 48-inch LG B5 for 1000 AUD, it still hasn't arrived in the post yet, but my local electronics store has put the C5 42-inch down to 1270 AUD. I was wondering if it is worth swapping them. I plan to use this as a bedroom TV in a dark room. Thanks

Expanding Mall, 1985

Saw a woman talking about this on tiktok, then found this reddit and I guess I'll just drop this here. When I was a kid my mom used to take me with her to the mall in a nearby city once or twice a month to go shopping, and I loved the trip when we went. When I was twelve, in 1985, I began having dreams about these trips - riding in my mom's car, walking around the place, etc. I kept having thes...

Samsung The Frame vs LG OLED C5

Hi everyone, I work at an electronics store in Norway and I’m trying to decide between two TVs using employee pricing. I’d really like some outside opinions. My options: • Samsung The Frame 55” (2025) – about $800 USD • LG OLED C5 55” – about $1,150 USD Extra context: • I get free professional Calman Kalibration on both TVs • I can get the Frame bezel basically for f...

Novice writer, what do you think of this text?

Upon entering the store, Fred stated that the place was a music electronics store. The first thing he saw was three large shelves dividing the store into aisles, and electric guitars lined the walls. Each time he cautiously made his way through the aisles, he felt a chill run down his spine. Inside, everything seemed normal, but he couldn't forget the fox that could appear at any moment. It would...

Thinking of buying Arctis Nova 7 tomorrow after my Arctis 9 broke down today

Today they started to just disconnect from the dongle and i had to turn off then turn on the headphones again fo...

Improvised power supplies (come learn something, long post)

Today's fieldcraft lesson: Improvised power supplies (aka improvised power bank). Many of you carry tech in your kit but frequently lack a way to charge it in the field. Here's a trick that can provide you with a power source to charge your gear or other applications too. Disclaimer: Improvised power supplies are just that, Improvised. Do not leave an improvised power supply unattended as there ...

Can anyone help explain this? My late grandfather’s.

My grandfather passed in the 1990s and I found this stack of cards. He used to own an electronics store and had some government jobs prior to that. Can anyone tell me what this means, I assume it’s from his ham radio hobby? Thank you!

Used electronics store (servers, computers, network switches, etc)

Does anyone know if there is a place to purchase recycled or used electronics? I'm not talking about like, a radio or Xbox or games - but semi enterprise grade used electronics or old laptops/desktops? Give me cables, wires, or weird shit that is niche. I like looking in stores like that but I've never seen one around here.

Can I open a Circuit City?

The McDonald’s post got me thinking. Can I open an electronics store and call it Circuit City? Who would sue me if there is no one from that company left. Or a video store called Blockbuster (I know there is that one in Seattle or wherever…but for the sake of this exercise, say they didn’t exist.) Once a company goes fully under, is their name free for the taking?
