What's the best doorbell camera after using it for a year or more?

I've been thinking about installing a video doorbell for a while, mostly to keep an eye on deliveries and see who's at the door when I'm not home. There are so many options now that I'm finding it hard to separate genuinely good products from ones that just have great marketing.

The biggest things I care about are reliable motion detection, clear video during both the day and at night, quick notifications, and something that doesn't constantly alert me because a leaf blew across the driveway.

I'm also curious whether a subscription is actually worth paying for or if the free features are enough for most people.

If you've had a doorbell camera for a while, which one did you end up buying? Would you choose the same one again, or is there something you wish you'd known before spending the money?

Best travel pram for flights and everyday use?

We’re trying to find a travel pram that won’t make every trip feel like a workout. Mostly need it for airport days, quick errands, walks, and maybe a few holidays where we don’t want to drag a full-size pram around.

The main things I care about are easy folding, not being too heavy, decent shade, and something that doesn’t feel horrible to push once you’re actually outside. I keep seeing tiny travel prams that look convenient, but I’m not sure if they’re comfortable enough for regular use.

For anyone who’s used one for travel, which pram did you go with? Was it actually worth it, or did you end up wishing you brought your normal stroller instead?

Which mechanical keyboard feels premium without going overboard?

I’ve been thinking about switching to a mechanical keyboard but I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and now I somehow know more about switches than I ever wanted to.

This would mostly be for everyday use: work, typing, browsing, and some gaming. I care more about comfort, sound, build quality, and long-term reliability than having a million RGB effects.

I’m also confused by all the switch options. Some people swear by linear, others say tactile is better, and then there are people building custom keyboards and lubing everything like it’s a full-time job.

For people who switched from a normal keyboard, what ended up being worth it? Did you go full mechanical keyboard enthusiast or find something simple and never look back?

What’s your favorite beard trimmer that actually holds up?

I’m looking for a solid beard trimmer and figured I’d ask here instead of trusting random product lists. I don’t need anything crazy, just something that cuts evenly, doesn’t pull hair, has decent battery life, and won’t die after a few months.

I mostly use it for keeping a short beard cleaned up, shaping the neckline, and doing quick trims every few days. Waterproof would be nice, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I’d rather have something reliable than something packed with a bunch of attachments I’ll never use.

For anyone who trims their beard regularly, what trimmer have you been happy with? And are there any popular ones that are overrated?

Is buying YouTube subscribers ever actually worth it? any real experiences pls?

I’ve been working on a small YouTube channel for a while and honestly the hardest part is getting past that “empty channel” stage. Even when a video is decent, it feels like people see the low subscriber count and don’t take the channel seriously.

I’m not expecting bought subscribers to magically fix bad content or make videos go viral. I’m more wondering if a small boost helps with social proof, or if it just makes the channel look worse because the views and comments don’t match.

Has anyone here tried buying YouTube subscribers before? Did it help at all, or did it hurt the channel long term?
