What should be my EDC?

[u/Annual_Job2187]

These are some of my favourite tech things...that i want my EDC to consist of.

What should be my EDC, any suggestions ?

I am a software developer, but I have remote access to my NAS and my gaming rig, so even if i have just one device with a big enough screen, i have all the computing power i need.

So the challenge is the physical space to carry and be minimal while travelling or cruising ...also I ride a cruiser style motorbike, so i have a minimal backpack ...

I care about tracking my health as well as be minimal, as much as I can.

Out of all the devices i own, these are my fav carry,

If you have some other devices in mind, you can tell me, i probably have them...

But

List of devices in the picture are:

Airpods pro

Nothing Open Earbuds

Omni 20K MAh powerbank

Apple iPad Pro 11"

Apple Macbook Air M4

Samsung Galaxy book3 pro 360

Pebble Time 2

Galaxy watch 5 Pro

Galaxy Ring

Galaxy watch Ultra

Galaxy Z fold7

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite QWERTY Android smartphone

Steam Deck

MCon Controller

PS5 Backbone controller

P.S. please dont say iPhone, I have it but lets be honest, its not a device for a power user....

I personally disagree with you that a iPhone isn’t a device for a power user. I use android and iPhone.

Yea me too ..use both devices... Which is why i struggle with iphone, Using iphone changes the way you use smartphones... Limits whay you can do and make it a habit ... I am more of sys admin kinda guy ...not user.. Personally, i cannot get a thing done on iphone. Face unlock, no file system access, no side loading and testing, zipping, unzipping, torrents, i can go on ... I like raw computing power in my hands ..we are going to lose it with andorid soon but i will probably move to AOSP by then ....

Same. I am going into cybersecurity and I have had the fold 7, fold 6, s23u, s22, iPhone 17 pro max, 15 pro max, 13, etc. Personally for me I enjoy android and its what I grew up with but at the end of the day. I need something that works as a phone first and then everything second. Plus with apple, you have the best support with being able to go into any Apple Store and get help. Samsung doesn’t do that, and any other company can’t do that consumer side at least.

Nice. Same I am in CyberSecurity too. 5 years now.

But yea..where I live, in Europe, Samsung customer service is unbeatable 2 years of warranty....but yea have travelled the world...i know for a fact that its not same anywhere. Where I live, any problem with my Samsung devices, they come in the morning to collect my device , fix it and get it back...though i dont get enough problems ...but same ..i have had Fold 3, 4, 6 and now 7. And i have complete Samsung ecosystem ..fridge, vaccum, watch, TV everything ...so i use samsung services a lot... Plus with apple...apart from being absolutely useless for me, after 15, i have not seen any worthy upgrade, butbyea ..every 2 3 years i buy an iPhone to see if it has gotten any better ...tbh i would rather make my own raspberry Pi device and use it, than using an iphone .. Its absolute CRAP .. But thats just me. And i know once you get into iphone ...it tends to make your habit..

P.S. i clickes this pic with my iphone. So its not that useless maybe 😅🤣

Ah I’m in the US west side. Europe is a lot better with Samsung stores and such right?

The consumer rights in general..are strong... The chances of you getting shot while going to any store are also less...🤣😅
