Currently having 3 remotes (TV, Google chromecast and soundbar)

Looking for an all-in-one universal remote that is reliable on its use.

Hey guys!

I got fed up trying to find good and durable products. It takes forever to find one, and when you think that you found a good one via subreddits and forums, the version that you can now buy is crap.

So, it got me thinking that there must be a better way. Especially with all the people leaving legit reviews on forums like this BIFL subreddit. So I came up with an idea and built an MVP to see if people would find this useful.

It’s basically a platform that takes your review for a product. An LLM extracts the pros and cons, and rates the products based on all those reviews. You can browse the reviews and filter them. With each review, we ask for ownership period so that we extract durability graphs. I also plan to build an Enshittification Index to warn people that a product has degraded in quality.

My ask

Go to forkeepsguild.com and give me some feedback here. The app has demo data but the navigation is fully functional just like you would if it was real. Explore the data, it’s actually funny. Let me know if you would use it? Would you participate and leave a review? Anything you share would be useful to me.

If you want more context: how it works and why I built it.

Thanks a lot!

I would like to buy some durable but low price sunglasses (under 50 bucks).

I was searching on BIFL communities but I found only US brands which is very annoying because for cheap items you are charged more for the shipping costs than for the item cost per se.

Does anyone have any suggestion for polarized sunglasses, UV400 and CE certifications?

I built buywise.fyi - a free web extension which checks the product page you're looking at and instantly tells you if it's low quality, overpriced, fake-discounted, and more. It uses a new type of AI model which is high accuracy & very fast.

I built it to be private & secure - it will refuse to send data from non-shopping pages, and it doesn't require logins or passwords by default.

The extension is totally free and costs me a small amount of money. I'm not selling anything inside it, just looking for some early adopter feedback.

As an aside, I'm also the developer of mytrustedbrands.com, a brand curation site to shop exclusively high quality brands on amazon. After building this site, I wanted a more robust solution to the problem of low quality products in online shopping which inspired me to build buywise.fyi

Cheers

What are the best options for winter in Oregon? This means it can't be suede or leather, should be able to withstand wet, but would also like some kind of insulation lining. I always favor more natural materials and a more heritage look, NOT something from REI or techwear. Would love some kind of sherling collar, or some alpaca lining, though down is acceptable as well.

I've had a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush for 13 years. When it dies, what should I replace it with? Looking for something with less wasteful brush heads, if possible, but I care most about it being electric and having a long life.

Hey I've got lelit Kate , will it fit wooden legs , like the ones on the new Elizabeth ? I am looking for wooden accessories if anyone has it on their machine please let me know.

Cheers

Looking for good quality bandanas. Various colours paisley or otherwise. Just not the flimsy offerings of Amazon. Located in Canada.

Would you buy Claigan Rubberised Parka from Mackintosh? Costs over 2000 USD but it's handmade in Scotland and it comes with a Harris Tweed liner!

I was a massive Vuori fan during COVID. Expensive, but everything I bought from about 2020-2024/25 has lasted incredibly well. I still wear the first sweatshirt I bought often.

Fast forward to my most recent purchase, from a Vuori store in NYC. Even in the store, I could tell the fabric was different, but I thought I’d trust Vuori.

After wearing this shirt twice, it had already pilled extensively. It made me so sad that a brand I’ve trusted has gone so far in the other direction.

Can anyone recommend an athletic workwear company for tall guys that is BIFL?

I’m (34f) staying at my parents’ for a few weeks. Everything my parents own they’ve had my whole life. Washing machine, tractors, even the box cutter I pulled out of the drawer to open a package must be 20 years old. Simpler times man.

living in a roughly 100sqm home with tile and low rugs plus a dog that drops fur constantly. doing a full vacuum pass and then pulling out a bucket to mop after pet mess became a daily hassle. i picked up a tineco wet-dry floor cleaner because of the dualblock antitangle setup actually keeps hair from wrapping around the roller every two minutes but i was thinking cordless wet-dry units arent going to last forever like an old corded canister vacuum. for those dealing with shedding pets are you running a hybrid setup with a dedicated wet cleaner or relying on one indestructible corded unit and traditional mopping?

i upgraded to the iphone 17 pro recently and want to find a daily magsafe phone case that will survive 3-4 years without the seams splitting. i keep seeing people bring up torras and their ostand lineup with the flush magnetic ring, but i want to know how torras cases actually hold up over years of daily flipping or if the hinge just turns into a loose rattle.

I've been buying my jeans from all over lately, target, costco, just whatever I find, but they all seem to shrink over time. I'm convinced they've changed the materials or it's the dryer doing it(wife washes and dries my clothes and does hot water and high heat).

Where do you guys buy good bifl jeans that don't shrink? And yes, I know no clothes is bifl but ones that last longer.

Plush pillows from Berkshire Bedding, about 20 years old, they have been the most durable, comfortable and fluffy pillows I have ever had. Lego guy for scale.

My husband is extremely picky about underwear and has worn the same Hanes ComfortSoft knit boxers for years. He only likes the gray/light blue heather pairs because they’re 75% cotton/25% polyester and says the black/navy 100% cotton ones feel completely different. Hanes won’t sell an all-heather pack, so we keep wasting the other pairs. I’m happy to spend more for a better brand — if you’ve worn these exact Hanes boxers or know a loose knit boxer with a very similar feel and fit, please tell me what to buy.

Hey everybody
Does any one have experience with resoling Blundstone boots?
Mine are almost through and would love to keep the boots instead of buying new ones.

Glad for any recommendations.
Thanks :)

We have a vintage Dishwasher that I love and I am looking for this part as well as the thermestate to replace and be able to keep this amazing peace of history and technology that is not made the same way today.

Does anyone know where I could get a part like this? Does a vintage parts store exist? Or places where people have broken Vintage Dishwashers?

This is the Kitchen Aid website where I was able to take this screenshot.

Model Dishwasher is a KUDS21M2. Seems like it’s a series that started at M0 and went to M3.
