Community project for which hardware (not) to buy?

@Stiltjack, @orange-assistant: it’s really nice to see that you are jumping on the wagon!

In this topic Which hardware to buy - IR blaster my point is proven that it becomes a ‘conversation’ about other things then just experiences.
From the 13 messages atm, only less then half of it are about user experiences.

I have seen so many times, here and in other forums, that at a certain point things get asked & repeated multiple times.
In my opinion, by not keeping these topics only about user experiences they become less interesting.

At this point, Tom was right that the forum is not the right place but I prefer to think what and how this can be done.
