    Here’s my recommendations:

    • UGREEN 100W USB C Charger, because it can charge my Switch - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091Z6JNX4

    • YKEY TS100 Soldering Iron, can be reflashed with Pinecil firmware from GitHub. - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FKY3Q1S

    • GlobalWin - 16302 Snow Boots, have held up really well since 2018 with occasional wear - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GUF5V3Y

      Flash firmware on a soldering iron. What a time.

        Yeah and I’m not convinced a soldering iron is something everyone should have :)

            Still? That’s very impressive for a zombie.

        I just turn the knob and it gets hotter. Then I turn it the knob the other way and it gets less hot. I’m not sure what other features you need.

      Isn’t the pinecil cheaper? Why would you get this instead of the pinecil itself?

          When I bought it a couple of years ago, it was significantly cheaper (I forget how much).

      I’m very interested to know the improvements brought forth by flashing said firmware. Anyone with a tl:dr?

        Leaving this for later: https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS

        My favorite features:

        • Temperature control
        • Put the Iron to sleep if it doesn’t sense motion
        • Put on a font that I can read.
        • Better power usage on my external battery
