 Whether we're ready or not, we're getting into the holiday season, everybody. And that means that people are starting to think about what to get the geek in your life, that best gift, something that they hadn't seen before or something that they've been longing for, something that is kind of a, you know, just like a fun outlier. Thankfully, Will, you've done some heavy lifting here and you've got some ideas. So what are we starting with? I think we should start with a screwdriver set. This is the classic geek gift, but everybody should have a good screwdriver set. And the traditional recommendation is a thing with like 150 bits in it that will let you open up every single device you have in your house. This, that's not what this set is. This is your workday screwdrivers. These are the ones that you use in your PC. I think you can open iPhones, iOS devices. You can open Nintendo devices, because it has the trilob, it has Pentalobe. It has Torx bits, Phillips, and just standard flat screwdrivers. And it's a really, really usable, small screwdriver, whether you're working on your eyeglasses or digging around inside your PC case, with magnetic tips too, which are incredibly handy. Is it individual screwdrivers for each bit or replaceable bits? So these are individual, these are individual screwdrivers. It's like 15 screwdrivers. Each one has its own, has a specific head. The ones with the bits are great, but I often find that the thing that holds the bits in places is too thick to fit into the places you need to get the screwdriver head. So that's why I start with this one and then go to the other one if we wanna have a more comprehensive set. All right, let's talk coffee. This next one is the next level, so the first one was the iFixit Marlin Screwdriver Set. I'm gonna say name, so people, audio listeners know what we're talking about. The next one is the next level Pulsar Brewer, which is a new kind of coffee brewer. It's called a zero bypass coffee brewer. This one was designed by an astrophysicist in collaboration with the next level folks. And they're called zero bypass because it's designed to not allow any water to go past the filter, past the coffee as it goes around the filter into the end drain into your cup. So you end up with a more controlled brewing mechanism than you have with like a pour over or something like that. The neat thing about this is they add a valve on the bottom. So you have a round tube, there's a cylinder, you put the coffee in, you can let it steep for as long as you want and then you can release the valve to let the coffee drain into your cup. And so you get kind of the best of both worlds of like a brewed coffee, of a French press style brewed coffee that's a percolated coffee like a pour over. And it's, I think the closest analog that you all might be familiar with is like at the Aeropress upside down technique. Where you, yeah, but you can do a bigger cup. So you can do five, 800 grams of coffee, no problem. Whereas the Aeropress caps out at like 250, I think. Well, and for anybody who's sort of like, I don't drink coffee, this works for tea as well. Works for tea, you can do loose tea in it because there's a paper filter in the bottom. So you get a night, whether you're doing coffee or tea, you get a nice clean cup with no sediment. And like it's new enough that people are just starting to kind of figure out exactly how, like the best ways to use this, there's 300 recipes for this online right now. I've been, I mean, it's an exaggeration, there's probably 20, but every barista who's tried it has come up with something different, different twist and, but at the end of the day, you can use it just like you use a French press and just get a filtered brew at the end that doesn't have all the sediment that comes in at the bottom of a typical wire mesh French press. All right, well, let's talk about, if you, for whatever reason, need to get a little bit more light on some small little factors of tinkering around within a PC. So this is my classic, classic recommendation. If you're working at PC or walking your dog after dark, it's really nice to have a good headlamp. You put it on, this one in particular is the, as the Black Diamond Cosmo 350, you can get a $20 version that's about the same as this. It just doesn't do the dimming or spotlight features. I think the $35 is kind of sweet spot, especially for a gift. And it's fantastic because when you're looking in the PC, when you drop a screw in there, something when you're working, trying to get the memory in the slot and it's all dark down there, you can put the light right where you're looking. And everybody who works in PCs should really have these. When I started putting in my toolkits, made my life dramatically better. Oh my gosh. I mean, precision stuff like what you're mentioning or walking the dog at night, really nice not to have one hand that is holding a flashlight. If you hold the poop bag and the flashlight with the same head, eventually there's gonna be tragedy. Then you don't have a lot of leeway here, people. Yes, yes, I'm with you on this. A good headlamp is something I did not know I needed until a couple of years ago. And the one that I got is fine, but this one looks real nice. These, the batteries last like 15, 20 hours. You don't have one have to think about it. When I go camping, it lasts the entire time I'm gone. Usually they're highly recommended. All right, let's talk power strips. Will, power strips are not a one size fits all situation. So what are your holiday picks? So I really love these Onker power strips. They have decent USB chargers built in. Typically you see a power strip with a USB port and it's like a 500 milliamp port that won't charge a modern phone even. These come up to 60 watt versions. This particular one is the 332, I think, which is like six 120 volt plugs and then three USB ports, two A's and a C. This is a 20 watt version, so it'll charge a phone. It'll also top up an iPad or your Steam Deck or whatever you wanna plug into it. But like I said, if you wanna charge your laptop you can get up to 60 watts and you don't have a bunch of wallboards hanging off of it. I kind of run them underneath the sofas that they're available, so there's USB cables for people who sit on the sofa and need to top off. Yeah, the USB outlet part is really cool. Yeah, I like that. Sarah, people are me in this case, so. I was about to be like, you're a nicer person than I am because I'd be like, oops, sorry, no charger, gotta go, see ya, bye, get out of my house. I don't wanna have to put my phone down while I'm watching TV, what do I do? It's I'd have to pay attention to whatever's on the television, that's horrible. Indeed, indeed. Okay, so this next pick of yours is actually something that I bought just in the last couple of months and I'm quite blown away by, that's the AirPods Pro 2. So what do you like about them? Yeah, I've been using AirPods, the Pro specifically for a couple of years now and I upgraded my ones to twos last year when I crushed one. The thing that blows me away about the new one is this new feature that's coming with the last version of iOS adds an adaptive transparency mode. So it used to be you could do noise cancelling or you could do transparency and the transparency mode is kind of impressive. The noise cancelling's great. The transparency mode is impressive because it actually sounds like you don't have ear plugs in, right? You can hear the world around you, your voice sounds right in your head, all the things that don't usually work within your monitors. The adaptive transparency kind of splits the difference and the noise cancelling isn't quite as good but you hear, it filters out the noises you don't wanna hear like fan noise and car rumble and stuff like that but you can still hear people around you talking or footsteps or cars so that you don't, you know, if you're out jogging or something you don't jump into traffic by accident or something. Yeah, right, right. Oh, no, go ahead. Well, no, I'm just about to agree with you. Go, go, you do it, Will. No, they're really lovely. If I take a nap I put them in the noise cancelling mode and just kind of hook it up to the Apple TV in my bedroom and put on music or some TV show that is quiet and works well. And the only time I can't use them really is when I'm sitting in front of my PC just because they don't work particularly well with Windows. I'm quite fond of mine as well and I was a real holdout because I didn't used to like the look of AirPods. I was like, sticking out of your ear, kind of, you know, those sort of white sticks. I thought that they looked silly and at some point I just, I don't know, my job was but the dust. I decided to go AirPods Pro too. And I have had so much fun with these headphones. I mean, they're nice earbuds and I know that there are other options. You know, people right now are screaming like, no, they're not the only option that you have and in fact they're more expensive than certain other options, all true. But these are very nice and they play really well with Apple products. So if you're in the ecosystem, it's a very nice gift. And then the last thing that I like to pair, like I don't like the, one of the, I've never really liked the way AirPods fit the same as you, Sarah. Like the old ones, the stick only ones kind of fell out of my ear. The inner ones, inner ones are better but I don't like the kind of rubber, gaskety ear piece that they put on those. So I bought a pair like $15 comply foam tips for the AirPods Pro. They snap on and off really easily. You can get them in a, I think they come in multi size packs if you don't know what size foam tip you use or you can get a, you can get just three sets of the same size once you kind of size yourself. And they help with the noise isolation. They help them stay in a little bit better. They're, I find them to be more comfortable, especially if I'm jogging or something like that. So it's a nice upgrade. I added these to my wish list right now while you were talking because they just look so much better than those silicon ones that, they're fine. They don't fall out of my ear or anything but these just look so much more comfortable. The only complaint I have about them is they only come in black. So you, so you, so then you don't look like you're wearing AirPods. Sarah, it's good. I see on Amazon, electric blue, lilac, purple, black and pine green. You can't, yeah. I mean, if you want to go electric purple, you're totally, But like, but that part is like in your ears, that's not really a, you know, They still show. feature, right? Kind of, I guess. Depends how weird your ears are. I mean, Well, as a weird ear person, let me tell you, sometimes it can get rather deep. I have a narrow canal. So it's not, I'm not really a problem for me. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, We are blessed with narrow canals. Will. Not everybody has that blessing, but yes, no, this is, this is great for anybody who's interested in AirPods and wants to make them a little bit comfier, really good. Comply foam ear tips. It's also worth mentioning that Comply makes foam tips for basically every set of in ear buds you can imagine. Like they have like all the way, whatever you want, the Jabra's the, they will have a set of tips for you if you go to their website. So and they're all about the same price. Fantastic.
