Electronic Stores Near Me

Got 3 different controllers in 3 days, all got stick drift.

Yesterday, I posted on the subreddit that I had gotten super unlucky and got stick drift on a brand-new DualSense controller on the very first day. Then, when I got it replaced the next day (at the exact same store), it also had stick drift. Now, after following the advice from you guys, I decided to get a refund from said store, which, by the way, was an electronics store, and went to buy a con...

The Recrudescence of Tinkering

**The View from Oregon – 378** **Re: The Recrudescence of Tinkering** **Friday 30 January 2026**   Dear Friends, In a couple of recent newsletters I’ve said that if we hold that consciousness is essential to intelligence as we know it, this creates a brick wall for artificial intelligence, since we have no science of consciousness that would allow us to build machine consciousness, which...

ValhallaVintageVerb is black when I open it. Why?

Never had this issue. The only thing I can think of that might have triggered this, is when I restored a "my effects" folder from the recycle bin. I had no idea this file was sitting in the bin. I don't remember when I put it there but I'm thinking it was there, and I had deleted it for a reason. This folder DID NOT contain ValhallaVintageVerb or any related files. It only contained som...

How does this happen?

So i added something in OSM, it got approved and a few days later i checked for it in different apps. I've downloaded Mapy, OrganicMaps and CoMaps that day on my new phone, so I've got the most recent offline maps. Only Mapy has the information added, even though all 3 get their info from the same source? Please help me understand, thanks!

Just me or are there absolutely 0 good earphones nowadays?

I don’t know if I’m getting picky or if earphones have actually gotten worse, but I’ve been struggling to find Bluetooth earphones that just work. Every pair I try seems to have one big flaw. Either weak battery, connection drops, or sound that’s somehow both loud and flat. Don’t tell me I’m buying the cheap ones, cause I’m not. I remember older wired earphones being simple and unles...

Apple VS Samsung: the dilemma

I want a tablet for studying, so like, reading PDFs and annotating, taking notes, watching video lectures and accessing some educational apps (found in both android/ios App stores) And in my free time, watching movies and YouTube. I don’t want it for photos or editing videos or anything like that. I do want a stylus but one that provides a natural feeling writing experience. I’m stuck between...

Anyone selling a Washing Machine and a Fridge?

Good place in Guangzhou to shop for Fiio (and other audio stuff)

Have been thinking about getting a new CD Player and noticed that Fiio is Guangzhou-based. I'll be travelling there in April so might be a good time to pick up a player, but do anyone have recommendation for good places to go shopping for one. Should I just search out some big electronics store in one of the bigger malls?

Have you seen the "Best Buy" store?

I've been to a very large BB-like store a few times. The workers are shy but helpful if you need them. This store was in one "corner" of the curve before it ended with a walmarty market, different from the super creepy thrift/dollar store. I'm getting a little distracted here, but I hope to eventually draw what I've seen in hopes it matches other people's encounters. About the electroni...

Google assistant issue

Not sure if this is a Galaxy issue or not, but Google assistant used to let me share photos/text directly from using Google assistant. Not it just shows this.....no update or anything. Just lost the ability mid day. Same with the galaxy tablet . Had a friend confirm the same thing on his phone.

Latest series 2021 Sony NW-ZX507 from Japan - Love again...

I was looking for a DAP with analog sound quality to use as a reference in my reviews. Back in the 90s, when I was still in high school, I saw a Sony Walkman cassette player in the window of an electronics store I passed every day. I kept looking at it, thinking it would be mine one day. I can never forget the musical feeling I got from that first Walkman I bought with the allowance I saved for a...

Hi, My laptop broke this morning and I need access to a computer for work. Is there a good, reliable electronics store that sells laptops in Dakar? Ideally with warranty.

Early 2000s commercial

Does anyone remember a commercial (or maybe a series of commercials) for an electronics store that went something like this: A bunch of kids are making fun of "Tommy" (probably not the right name). One of them shouts, "What time is it at Tommy's house?" and all the kids say, "Twelve o'clock. Twelve o'clock" (because Tommy's dad couldn't set the clock on their VCR). A...

What’s been difficult to process with aging?

For me it’s seeing retail die in real time. We come from an era where malls were packed with stores and people. There were several music & electronic stores where you could spend so much time wandering aimlessly. Not to mention how easy it was to get a job back then. I went to an electronic store recently (I won’t say their name but their logo is blue) and it was a ghost town. The st...

Newest member, STOKED! Help catch me up...what's the coolest mod you've seen? Send me homework!

Yo everybody! I'm an mp3/flac nerd. Always walked around with at least 500gb of music on an sd card in my phone. Been doing this since phones took over our lives...Always thought I was a societal outlier for keeping my music instead of streaming. Anyways, long story short, I'm walking around town and an ipod in the window of a used electronics store catches my eye and jostles my nostalgic memor...
