Thought I’d ask something different. What tech company is the most part of your ecosystem that isn’t Apple related.
For me, I’ve increasingly gone old school with my audio inputs with Crosley Record Players and Radios. Smartest thing about them is bluetooth and I like it that way.
You also cant have a conversation about this without mentioning Eink. Found the $400 Kobo Ellipsa 10 inch tablet for for super cheap at a pawn shop and subsequently pawned off my iPad.
What’s yours?
The reMarkable 2 is my favourite product not from Apple for taking notes and writing.
Getting the Kobo for $275 off is why I dont have a remarkable.
My favorite might be hardware synths: Moog, Udo, etc.
Tech actually used in my ecosystem: Brother printers. Haha. Or maybe the rooftop solar.
Maybe not strictly tech, but tech-adjacent.
I have Peak Design:
Brother printers are gifts from heaven. They are the closest thing we have to a printer that “just works”
Each to their own.
I got the reMarkable second hand for a very good price off a friend who had bought the reMarkable Paper Pro.
The writing experience is amazing and the system works well for me. Kobo rarely gets mentioned in the UK. Kindle Scribe is the main competitor, but reMarkable seems to be better for handwritten notes.
Sonos and Dyson currently.
Bose back in the day.
Similarly, I am enjoying my Supernotes (Nomad and A5X). Ratta and their outlet here in Australia have been fantastic with their service and response times to queries.
Brother laser printers and (now Ricoh) ScanSnap Scanners are the two most recent produced favorites. Although I must give some notice to my 37 year old Northgate OmniKey/102 keyboard that I’m still using, although Northgate Computer Systems is long gone.
Honorable mention to my RIGOL DS1054Z Oscilloscope.
RaspberryPi for me. I recently purchased their latest desktop setup (a RPi 5 with mechanical keys) and matching HDMI monitor. It runs Debian Trixie. Plan to use it to prototype a new version of a database I have been working on for a three or four years; now time to normalise the design. After which I’ll move it across to another RPi 5 running headless as a MariaDB server.
Unfortunately at the moment I have forgotten the root password! Something of a showstopper to adding other programs to those I installed in the first flurry of use. Eventually my memory will recover the words and then it will be all systems go.
Used a Raspberry Pi to get Airplay on my Crosley 
Anbernic and ASUS (rog ally x)
This isn’t a question that I have an answer for.
+1 for reMarkable – I’ve been all-in since the beginning of the crowd funding phase and put in my advance order almost a year before it shipped. I moved up with them to the Paper Pro and the Move. I know there are many cheaper alternatives, and I use GoodNotes on my iPad when I want that kind of note-taking, by the device I carry around alongside my Jibun Techo is a reMarkable.

Keychron is quite high on my list. Their Alice layout keyboards have effectively cured me of some very persistent RSI. I didn’t think I would ever really get rid of it, but these babies together with more dictation have made a huge difference.

My favorite non-Apple device is the Supernote Nomad. It has completely replaced my iPad for reading and taking notes.
Elgato makes some pretty good stuff.
