    That room size explains a lot. In a 10 by 11 bedroom you’re close enough that the fan push on high will stand out, especially compared to that old steady hum. I’d try it on low for a night or two and see if that feels closer to what you were used to. High is probably always going to sound more like a fan than a hum in a room that small.

    Fan noise on high is just part of moving that much air, so I don’t think it’s really a defect or anything. But I’d push back on the idea that it’s comparable to an old ceramic. Those little cube heaters usually have a totally different sound, more of a steady hum, while this one has a more noticeable fan push on high. So if you’re expecting the same low hum as before, that’s probably not going to happen. Mine is only annoying if I’m sitting right next to it, otherwise it blends into the background. Curious what room size you’re using it in since that affects how loud it feels.

    Alright, I’ll give the gasket a quick feel before closing it up and just go for it in the ocean. Thanks for the input everyone, that gives me a bit more confidence.

    Pretty sure the app needs to stay open for conversation mode.

    Jitter on turns is just how these are, mine does it too and I stopped fighting it.

    I keep mine in the back slot of my phone case instead of the wallet, and the alerts have been fine. Just a personal preference thing since I hate digging through cards when the ringer goes off.

    Mine sat in a shed for about two years with a little vented cupboard setup and the batteries were fine, but the charger got a faint rusty smell after a while. The box itself held up better than I expected though. I mostly stopped worrying once I started bringing the batteries inside for the winter months.

    I left mine alone and the angle actually grew on me. The higher framing catches the birds coming in before they land on the perch, which is half the fun. If you really want it lower though, it’s worth fixing now rather than getting used to it.

    I’d just use the power bank and not think much about it. Mine ran fine on low for about two hours when I had it outside, and it didn’t cut out at all. If it dies sooner, you’ll know pretty quickly.

    Fair enough, I’ll just keep an eye on it then.

    I usually just check whether the return window starts on delivery or on order date, since that trips people up more than the length itself. A 14 day window that starts late can honestly beat a 30 day one that started the day you clicked buy.

    in reply to: Does FitiBeats have a low latency mode for gaming? #15806
    Emma Ray
    Member

    Low latency mode is one of those things I always check for because I mostly game with earbuds too. I don’t have the FitiBeats myself, but I’ve tried a couple of budget pairs and the difference between having a mode and not having one was pretty noticeable for me. Even a small delay throws me off in anything fast paced. My personal preference is that I’d rather have the option and not need it than the other way around. Some people say normal Bluetooth is fine, but it depends on the person and the game. If gaming is your main reason for buying, I’d want to know for sure before pulling the trigger. Maybe check if there’s a firmware update that adds it, since some brands do that later.

    Mine sat outside for about six months while I was dealing with some stuff and the paint had that same rough, chalky feel. I tried one of these cloths on a small section of the roof first because I figured if it messed anything up it wouldn’t be super obvious. It actually smoothed out the roughness pretty well and brought back some color. Not showroom shiny or anything, but it stopped looking like a chalkboard. What surprised me was how much dirt and dead paint came off on the cloth itself. I went through the whole car after that and it took a while but the difference was noticeable. The rough texture was the part it handled best honestly. Deeper stuff under the surface it won’t touch. Worth a shot on a section first though before committing to the whole car.

    Call the vet if it’s a sudden change.

    Learning time is overblown for this. I plugged one into a rental for a 4 day trip and the pedal response changed by day two, so it’s not like you need weeks.

    Mine misses more than I expected too, especially around the edges. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, the chamber just doesn’t catch everything no matter how careful I am. I keep a tissue under my hand while trimming now, catches the strays.

    I took mine kayaking last month and gave up on the screen after like ten minutes. Between the water glare and the sun it was just a shiny little mirror to me.

    I think it only does anything when you’re actually in contact with it, so leaving it plugged in while you’re not using it is just a cord sitting there. I’d probably plug it in when I sit down and unplug after. If the outlet isn’t grounded though, it’s not going to do anything either way.

    I still use mine on days I skip washing my hair and it does fine. The filter doesn’t need constant use to do anything. I’d say if your water is actually hard you’ll notice it either way.

    in reply to: Does LumaGlasses work with prescription lenses? #12786
    Emma Ray
    Member

    If it helps, I asked a local optician about this kind of frame and they said it mostly comes down to whether the lens shape can be cut to fit. Some can, some really can’t. Probably worth bringing the glasses to a shop instead of guessing online.

    in reply to: Qinux Gravizer vs old plug-in engraver for tiny details? #12687
    Emma Ray
    Member

    I got the Gravizer mainly for little initials on wooden keychains and it does fine on softer stuff once you get a feel for it. The heads switching out helps more than the cordless part for me. I still go slow on curves though.

    in reply to: Aptofit: can I turn off the constant heart rate light? #12649
    Emma Ray
    Member

    I actually like having the light on since it reassures me the thing is doing something, even if that’s probably silly. Mine has been going for about five months now and the battery still holds up fine. So from my side it’s not really a problem worth fixing.

    in reply to: Does Tagsley work if my wallet is in a backpack? #12534
    Emma Ray
    Member

    Backpack is fine in my experience, mine reads through a canvas bag no problem. I did notice the Find My location can go stale for a bit if nobody with an iPhone walks past, but that’s just how the network works. Doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the bag itself.

    in reply to: Does the Melara Air fit standard pillowcases? #12353

    I tried a couple of random standard cases from my closet and they all technically fit, just snug around the corners. What actually helped was washing the case first so it softened up a bit. It stretches over the shape easier after that.

    in reply to: Matsato blade vs my old knife, is the finger hole a big change? #11940
    Emma Ray
    Member

    I’d say the finger hole isn’t really something you have to adapt to, it’s more of a preference thing. If it feels off now, a few more weeks probably won’t flip that for you. I’d just use whichever one feels safer in your hand.

    in reply to: Does the CoolJet need to be plugged in the whole time? #11738
    Emma Ray

    It runs off USB-C the entire time, so there’s no charging it up and carrying it around unplugged. The carry handle is handy for moving it between rooms, but you’d need to plug it in again each time.

    I actually think the heat is the weakest part. It warms up but I never felt like it did much for my muscles, the pulse modes are what I keep using it for. If heat is your main reason for buying it you might end up disappointed.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux BittOne have a way to mute the audio? #11449
    Emma Ray

    I poke at the volume buttons when I need quiet, but I have definitely tapped down and still heard a faint bit of sound, so it isn’t a true mute. If you need silence right away on a bus, that could get annoying.

    It does pull from a bucket, that part isn’t fake. But mine only really does it when the bucket sits higher than the unit, otherwise it just sputters and gives up. So yeah it sucks, just not from the ground like you’d hope.

    in reply to: Hewelth ReliefChain for upper back too or just neck and shoulders? #11292
    Emma Ray
    Member

    Mine hits my upper back way more than my neck honestly. I have a pretty long neck though so it kind of naturally sits lower on me no matter how I adjust it. I stopped trying to move it up because the upper back tension is actually the main reason I keep using it. The trapezius area gets that warm pulse feeling and it does loosen things up after a long day at my desk. I’ve had mine for a few months now and I use it most evenings while watching TV. It’s not some miracle thing but it does take the edge off. So yeah I’d say the upper back is fair game, not just an accident. If it sits lower on you that might just be your build and not a fitting issue.
