I saw similar question on reddit, so I decided to ask it here.

What purchase has improved your quality of life and work? Especially those working remotely.

A laptop. And good actively noise cancelling (ANC) headphones.

Oh, and a mini computer that I've turned into a router. I no longer have to live with the restrictions of my old router. It didn't seem to have enough in it to support all the devices at home, where the custom router has a loooooot more firepower and customizability. I use those for network filtering, work VPN proxies (docker container connects to a work VPN and spins up a proxy server; exposes a TCP port for the proxy; effectively I can have many active VPN connections running simultaneously w/o worrying that they may clash with each other), as a dropbox, etc.

Mainly a compact but good laptop to work on trains.
Additionally, my ergo keyboard (Kinesis Advantage2) has saved me BIG TIME from developing TSV.

a good dock + dual monitor setup.

herman miller chair, work in room with lots of light, mechanical keyboard and egronomic mouse, good video/audio casting setup

a laptop. each of the 4 that i bpught in my life.

Adjustable dumbbells. Bigger biceps means more quality of life and better code. Also, building some muscle is good against back pain.

An ergonomic Chair and a Decent Monitor(27").
I can feel the difference in my body within a month since I started using this chair.

Standing desk and two monitors.

- Height adjustable desk (electric) + standing mat

- Ergonomic chair

- 27" monitor (2560 x 1440, 350+ cd/m², 120+ hz - I'm never going back to 60 hz lol)

- Cable box for cable management on your desk + velcro cable ties

- Mobile air conditioner

@PonySlaystation I just googled the keyboard what in the alien is that? Can you briefly word your experience how it is compared to the more "earthly" keyboards?

@-unkn0wn- haha it took me about 10-14 days to get up to speed, but I think I've become faster than on regular keyboards. The main difference to normal KBs is that they key rows are aligned in a grid (some say it's easier to hit the right keys) and bowl shaped, so your fingers have the shortest path and no strange twisting is necessary. The heels of your hands rest on the pads and don't need to be moved or lifted for typing. It's really comfortable and I can type nonstop for hours without feeling stiff or pain.
Each thumb has 5 keys (enter, windows, alt, ctrl, home, end, pg up + down, space, backspace), which you'll get used to quickly and will love it.
What helps me as well is that the KB iy separated in the middle thus lessen the angle in both wrist joints and prevents TSV.
