The pin isnt the issue for me, its finding the thing in a pocket when my hands are cold and dumb. Gloves make everything a bit clumsier, so I’d just keep it somewhere you can grab without digging.
Locking the screen seems to be the main thing people ask about, but switching apps is the part I’d actually test before relying on it. The app is doing the translating, so if it gets pushed to the background, there’s a decent chance the audio just cuts out. I’d try a short call or two with the screen off first and see how it behaves.
The shop scenario sounds more like the alert firing late because the phone lost the tag for a bit, not the cards blocking it. Two cards and a metro pass isn’t much of a sandwich anyway. If it bugs you, leave it out of the wallet for one errand run and see if the timing changes. That would tell you pretty quick whether it’s the wallet or just indoor signal.
Mine sits in a card sleeve next to a couple of cards and the left-behind alert has been pretty consistent for me. The only time it felt sluggish was when I walked off without my phone for a bit, but that’s probably just how it reconnects. Curious if yours is slow every time or only in certain spots.
I’ve used warm-ish water out of the tap and the foam still kicked in, just not as much as when I’ve got a really hot batch going. If it’s a mild clog it’s probably fine, but for a slow-draining mess I’d wait for the water heater to catch up.
I don’t think the secret switching thing is even worth the trouble. For a daily device you’re going to notice the difference in how it feels or what you do with it within a couple weeks anyway, and then you’re just guessing off vibes. I just alternate weeks and keep a dumb little note on my phone.
Mine barely logs anything but naps and walks, so the step count is basically noise for me. I mostly ignore the dashboard and just check if the nap time looks off, since that’s the only number that’s ever matched what I was seeing.
Stale food isn’t really the issue people make it out to be. My cat’s kibble sits in the bag with a clip for a month and she still eats it fine. The bigger bag saving money is worth way more than any minor freshness thing.
No clue about specific versions, but I had it on a phone from like 2018 and setup went through without any fuss. Streamed fine too, only thing was the battery drain, though that’s probably the same on any phone.
I’d just get a decent regular board for veg and skip the titanium thing. I’ve used a wood one for years for onions and carrots and it’s been fine, just needs a rinse and occasional oil. If the smell bothers you, that’s the one reason I’d consider upgrading.
Mine doesn’t have any storage spot at all and I’ve never had an issue. It just lives on my dresser and I grab it when I need it. Small remotes only get lost if you’re careless with them.
I’d double check before ordering since it depends on which mode you’re using. I messed around with a friend’s pair and the live mode where you both wear a bud is what worked for us, but if I was just holding my phone out it got awkward fast. Might be worth asking the seller which setup they actually support, since it’s not always obvious from the listing.
I don’t think you need to clean it on any kind of regular schedule. Mine sat out on the patio for most of last summer and I only bothered with it a handful of times. The buildup didn’t seem to affect anything.
If your outlet isn’t actually grounded, the mat basically does nothing. I checked mine with one of those little plug testers and the outlet in my old place wasn’t grounded, so it was pointless there.
Mine does something kind of similar but it happens at a different point in the day. I put it on in the morning before work and it feels fine, then by lunch it has that slightly looser feel you’re describing. Not falling down, just less locked in. For me it turned out to be less about the straps and more about how much my leg swells up during the day. Sitting at a desk for a few hours then walking around, my knee area changes a bit and the brace just sits differently.
What I started doing was putting it on after I’d been up and moving for a bit instead of right when I wake up. That way it’s adjusted to my leg at its normal size, not the morning version. Sounds a little weird but it made a real difference for me. The afternoon looseness mostly went away.
I did try cranking the straps tighter at first and that just made it dig in and get uncomfortable, so I don’t think over tightening is the answer. It’s more about when you put it on than how hard you pull.
Anyway that’s just my experience with it. Two days in is pretty early too, your body is probably still figuring out how it sits on you.
I’ve noticed mine does it more if I switch right after using the IR for a while. Leaving it off for a minute before going back to normal mode seems to help a bit. Not sure if that’s a real fix or just coincidence though.
I ran mine in the cat room for about a month and didn’t notice much difference on the litter box smell. It made the room feel less stale I guess, but that pee smell stuck around.
I tried the flat one on my front teeth for like a week and never got used to it. Pointed tip on the lowest setting is what I keep going back to, just don’t press hard and it’s fine for me.
If I were you I’d just get the cheap one and not overthink the model. I set up an antenna for my parents in their condo a while back and the whole thing came down to where the TV sits, not which box you buy. Their place faces a bunch of trees and they still pull the main local channels fine with a basic flat one taped near the window. A friend two floors up gets less because his living room is on the wrong side of the building. So yeah, for just locals in a small apartment, I’d say try it, but keep the receipt handy. If the scan comes up empty, it’s not the antenna being cheap, it’s your building blocking the signal.
Mine mostly stay in the case unless I’m on a call, so I’ve only charged the case itself maybe twice in a few weeks. No clue where the total lands but it hasn’t annoyed me yet.
My experience was pretty much the opposite. The small electronics in my place are exactly where I saw the change, especially my desk lamp flickering less. I have not noticed anything with my bigger stuff at all.
Mine didn’t do much at all in my office and I ended up sending it back after about two weeks. Everyone keeps saying these are for personal heat but mine barely warmed anything past my keyboard.
Mine is the same way, only works if I’m basically in front of it. I tried from my kitchen once and got nothing, so I just get up now. Wasn’t expecting much from a fan remote anyway.
I’ve moved my dash cam between three different cars over the years and never had a ring stick around permanently. The one time I did get a mark, it came off after a couple of days parked outside in the sun. Glass seems to kind of self-clean that stuff if you give it time. I get wanting to be careful with a new car though, but I really don’t think a suction cup is going to mess up your windshield. That glass is a lot tougher than people give it credit for. If anything it’s usually just whatever was on the cup itself that leaves the mark, not the glass getting damaged. Wipe the cup down before you stick it on the new car and you should be fine. Worst case you get another faint ring and it fades like the first one did.
Mine is way too strong for shelf dust even on the low setting, it just launches everything into the air. I still use it in the garage but only for the floor and corners, not shelves. For actual shelf dust I stick with a rag or brush.
Mine handles it a bit better when I’m moving than when I stop, which I never really expected. Same ride, same trees, but the stills look way darker than the clips. Could just be me though.
It’s a decent upgrade over a plain nozzle if you’re trying to blast dried dirt off without scrubbing as much. I still use a bucket for the soap part, but the JetClean handles the rinse way faster for me. Not night and day, but noticeable.
