    I’d say definitely. The first useful thing I printed was during the pandemic where all the paper towels you could get were those z fold ones you see in office building bathrooms. Suffice to say, most people don’t have a container at home for those types of paper towels, so I mocked one up that was like a home tissue box and printed it out. Saved myself 80+$ on making one instead of buying one on Amazon (also they’re all wall mounted and I didn’t want to do that)

    Since then I’ve printed toilet paper roll holders, plant pots, catch all bowls, insulated drink holders, tie racks, jewelry racks and boxes, all manner of things I use almost every day, and I’ve learned about 3d modeling as a result (not really good yet but still) so win win.

    Edit: I’d say at this point I’ve definitely printed more than how much the printer costed in terms of things I use. Printing mini figures and scenery for tabletop games alone has exceeded the cost it would have been to buy that stuff.

    Yes I have an fdm and a resin printer, but they’ve both got a lot of good use and yes absolutely worth it.

    Nothing Ear A $99 - Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds with ChatGPT Integration, 45dB Hybrid Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Hi-Res Audio, Advanced Equaliser, Dual Connect, 6 Mics, 42.5H Playtime Earbuds Wireless Bluetooth Black https://a.co/d/ddd3elu

    CMF Buds $29 - CMF Buds Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, 42dB Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Dirac HD Audio, 35.5H Playtime, BT5.3, IP54 Waterproof, 4HD Mics Wireless Headphones for iPhone & Android (Dark Grey) https://a.co/d/6oTiP5q

    Both work with any device on any platform that can use Bluetooth audio ( I’ve used them on Mac, PC, Linux, and multiple game consoles) and they don’t explicitly need an app to function (just for firmware updates and customization but that’s like any Bluetooth headphones) but they do both have Android and iOS apps if you so choose (and I do recommend at the very least for firmware updates)

    Get the Ear A if you can afford them, they are the better of the two both in noise cancelling and audio quality (and transparency mode) but the CMF Buds are still fantastic and punch way above their price class.

    Edit: I am dumb, of course the source code is out there. I have visited this repository a thousand times but my monkey brain can’t remember what I ate for breakfast.

    https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu

    Everyone download the hell out of it and never let this die.

    If it isn’t already open source, Yuzu team needs to get that shiz open source post-haste. Let’s get that code absolutely everywhere.

    When that popular manga app Tachiyomi got legal bonked, the bajillion forks of it kept some semblance of the original going.

    I know there’s money to be made and something like an emulator is considerably more complex than a book reading app/scraper, but it would at least give the project a chance of not dying forever.
