    Well, I can’t say much about “for life”, but I bought a batch of Rubbermaid trays back in 2008, and they’re all still in use. No cracks, no problems. I added to the original 4 a couple of times, and the most recent two pack is indistinguishable from the older ones in thickness or coloration. So I’m fairly confident that the new ones should last just as well. I’m also going to chime in about the silicone trays. They work fine, but I’ve had a lot of trouble with them picking up odors, like from being washed with scented soaps. Never had the issue with regular plastic. However, there are also the old school metal trays that last for bloody ever. Might be worth looking into

    America’s Test Kitchen has a bunch of reviews Edit: as others have said, look at restaurant supply stores in your area. Besides stainless, I’d also recommend carbon steel or cast iron since you’re looking for durability and food safety.

    I also got one of these recently. The build quality wasn’t as good as I had hoped, but it’s a fun little device and seems like it’ll last a long time. The software is a tad low quality, and I’m worried that it’ll never be updated again since the device is apparently discontinued. On the flip side, it’s not bad for a cheap low power device, and it’s easy to navigate. This device does support Bluetooth, and ones able to pair it with the Beats Flex. It’s weird though because the player and headphones use different volume adjustments, which is one of my low-quality software complaints. Personally, I would’ve rather had an iPod nano 3rd gen.

    If you want something durable it’s best to go with two piece poles rather than three pieces. When poles bend or break it’s always on the bottom piece because it’s the thinnest. Unfortunately two piece poles can be hard to find. I’ve been considering getting some MSR poles because it’s a reputable brand and is only two pieces. I just wish they came with a cork handle option because I’ve gotten used to cork and will miss it. https://cascadedesigns.com/products/dynalock-trail-backcountry-poles These are supposedly designed for snowshoeing, which makes sense considering the only time I’ve bent a pole it was while snowshoeing. If you’re looking for maximum durability, these are a good option.

    I’ve been using Linksys E4200’s with (Fresh)Tomato firmware for about 10 years now. Recently one failed and I think, due to all the claims about new wifi “versions”, the more modern devices should provide better performance, so I’ve been reading some stuff every now and then and looking for a new setup. People with knowledge who I semi-trust all seem to point at different devices for the wired and wireless part. Some even say you should split the router from the switch (so you can do a managed switch with vlans and stuff) but I will never use any of that and even my E4200’s can handle vlans just fine. I do get that using dedicated access points has its advantages but it does get quite a bit more expensive. On the other end, a lot of brand names are now using Chinese chips in their routers and devices like the GL.iNet MT6000 seem to be one of the current favorites on the openwrt forums (and seems to be a very powerful device). I think I’m still going to go for a separated setup but I’ve got no clue which devices yet. Fwiw, Louis Rossmann recommends some things.

    Oki (formerly Okidata) has always had the ethical higher ground, above Brother, AFAICT. Brother does partake in ink waste shenanigans with their inkjets. But you can’t be in the US. Oki pulled out of the US marketplace.
