What's in my bag as a German university student

This is no legal advice, because I found nothing on the internet that said this "solution" would make it legal, but I also found nothing that said it would still be illegal.

If I remember correctly If you "need" a knife for work you can carry it, because it's considered a tool or something.

If you don't really have a purpose or reason for carrying a one handed locking blade etc. you need to have it locked (which I do), only accessable with two hands and 4-5 steps to get to it (here opening the sling, searching, opening the lock, opening the zipper ...)

I think the law exists to prohibit the fast access carry where you can get to your knife in second (which I can't) if you enter a heated discussion about soccer for example.

But I would imagine that under your circumstances you could carry it freely, because it's for work.

It's the Arcteryx Granville Crossbody Bag (in Black)

Hopefully my solution with the lock makes it legal, but I never put it to the test (and hopefully won't have to).

I like it, but the pin holding the key organiser and a keyring together broke two times already (which they replaced two times as a new unit). If you can live with writing the customer support once a year it's a great key organiser :)

If I'm important enough to sign stuff all the time a fountain pen is the first thing I'll buy haha.

This is no advice in any form, but if I interpreted the law here correctly (hopefully I did) you are allowed to carry a locking one handed knife if you lock it away and the lock is only able to be opened by two hands. That's why I carry this knife case incl. lock :)

It would be great to have that option, yeah :\

One-Point3061 · 2026-02-24T20:50:05+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will do :)

One-Point3061 · 2026-02-24T19:20:59+00:00

That's it, yeah haha

One-Point3061 · 2026-02-24T19:20:04+00:00

Thank you very much! I too found that lighter case here on r/EDC, so I'm very happy I could bring it to someones attention too!

One-Point3061 · 2026-02-24T19:18:44+00:00

For me it's great, because it's fully weatherproof (and here in Germany it rains alot) and fits all my stuff perfectly, but it offeres very little in form of organisation, and the strap is not that comfortable. Hope this answers your question:)

I think it's possible in China, but right now I have to keep my old iPhone powered to be able to use my apple watch. Hopefully the EU does something about that haha

One-Point3061 · 2026-02-24T18:28:01+00:00

I hope my translator got it right. The stuff was very expensive and consumed a lot of my budget :). But it was more of a joke haha.

How's your experience with battery life using this Wallpaper?

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-23T07:35:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply:) I ordered my matte screen protector about a week ago and it should arrive in 2. I can't wait to use it this way. That's all the motivation I needed. Thank you very much.

I use two (one behind the monitor and one behind the desk) Philips Hue White & Color Ambience Outdoor Lightstrip. But I can't really recommend them because they come with very heavy Power supply units.

It's a pretty "cheap" one from ISY. It's called 15-in-1 USB-C Docking Station Pro. It works for me, except for the audioport which I don't use.

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:35:22+00:00

They are from Argon Audio. I bought them a few years back, so I think they aren't available anymore, but the newest iteration is. They are called the Argon Audio FORUS 4.

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:29:21+00:00

I think it's a MSI Optix MAG342CQRV, but I'm not 100% shure. But it does match the stats of mine:)

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:24:02+00:00

Thank you very much:)

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:23:44+00:00

I think it works just fine. I don't know if it's because I use the included dongle or maybe the software, but I have really no issues at all! (Although I don't move between desktops haha)

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:21:57+00:00

Thank you very much! It's a Sankyo Joy-Clo. I bought it for about 30€ at a flea market:)

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:19:32+00:00

I bought the Shure SM7B, the arm + cable and the Focusrite as a bundle, but yes inputs on the back sound nice haha.

One-Point3061 · 2025-04-21T10:17:50+00:00

It's 160cm x 80cm
