Mine lives outside too and I gave up on it holding up for more than a couple weeks in summer. The scratch fading is the part I’d buy it for, not the protection.
Mine’s been clipped to my handlebar for a couple months now and I honestly forget the app exists most days. The top button handles everything I need on a ride. I only opened the app the very first time to get it connected, and that was it.
I wouldn’t bother with a hub for this. The cheap universals are hit or miss, sure, but a cheap one that learns from your original remotes will handle a 2005 DVD player without any code hunting at all.
I kept my plug-in setup and just ran the cable along the headliner and down the pillar, took maybe ten minutes and cost nothing. The parking drain thing is the reason I never bothered with hardwiring, since I don’t need it recording while I’m parked anyway.
My dad has the big thick plastic ones and they didn’t fit his at all, the arms sat way too wide and they kept sliding off when he turned his head. Might depend on the exact frame shape though.
I stopped carrying a stone at all for trail stuff. My file and guide handle everything unless the chain hit actual dirt or a rock, and then I just swap chains instead of messing with it out there. A stone never saved me in the moment.
Airtight containers aren’t automatically better if you’re dumping the food straight in. The bag itself is usually designed to keep the kibble fresher, so I’d just keep it in the original bag and roll or clip the top. The container is more for keeping the bag from tipping over and making a mess.
Rotation never did anything for mine. She just ignores whatever gets swapped in and goes back to the same one toy she’s had for ages. Leaving a couple of things out that she actually likes has worked way better than trying to keep it fresh.
Mine was weirdly okay with German offline, way better than I expected. Then I tried it in Italy and half the stuff came out backwards. So yeah, it’s hit or miss depending on the language.
I actually prefer the JetClean for the bug splatter on my windshield, that hose pressure never gets it all off. Just use the wide fan tip and keep it moving so you don’t blast the trim. Takes me two minutes and no streaks so far.
The Flixy remote is fine for basic stuff but it definitely has a bit of lag compared to my old Roku one. Not terrible, just noticeable when you’re scrolling through apps. For casual bedroom use I got used to it pretty quick.
I think for most people it’s probably fine as a backup option, even if you never end up needing it solo. Half the stuff in my emergency drawer is there for peace of mind more than anything. Better to have it and not need it.
I’d plug it in while you read the manual, mostly because you don’t really know how long it’s been sitting in a warehouse. If it powers on right away, fine, but I’d still top it up before a longer session.
I just use the foil cutter that came with mine and it’s still going after a year or so. Honestly I don’t get the fuss about misplacing it, mine just lives in the same spot. If you keep losing yours though, a cheap separate one wouldn’t hurt.
Mine still has that little delay when I’m moving around menus, and I’ve had it for a few months now. It’s not terrible, just noticeable if you’re used to something snappier. Doesn’t really bug me during actual shows though.
I don’t have mine on unless I’m actually in the room, mostly because I don’t like the little glow while I’m sleeping. It still does its thing when I run it in the evening with the lamp on nearby.
I mostly use mine at my desk and just leave the auto cycle running. The battery still gets me through a few days before I plug it in, so it hasn’t been a hassle. If you’re refilling daily anyway, the manual button is probably enough though.
Mine handled the moss between my pavers fine, and I didn’t have to keep stopping to bump the line. It did take a couple passes to get down into the deeper gaps though. Way less annoying than replacing line constantly, that part alone was worth it for me.
I’ve taken mine off a few times and the ring doesn’t always come back. Last time I wiped it with a damp cloth and it was gone for good. Might just depend on the glass.
Mine actually surprised me in a tall room. I set it on the coffee table aimed at the couch and it kept me comfortable all evening, even with the ceiling way up there. Not saying the whole room warmed up, but for sitting in one spot it did the job.
I don’t own either, but my sister has the DappSmile and I’ve watched her use it a couple times. It’s definitely more of a buzzing sensation than a scraping one, which surprised me. She says it’s gentler on her gums than her old pick was. Whether that’s worth the price is up to you.
Mine’s been in a normal case since day one and it’s fine. The fit isn’t snug around the wings but it doesn’t bother me at all. I just use whatever case is clean that week.
I’m one of those people who forgets to close apps and has like 14 browser tabs open, so I was bracing for the worst with switching. For me, the FitiBeats actually handle it better than I expected. What I noticed is that they don’t try to connect to both devices at once, which is usually where things go sideways with other earbuds I’ve owned. It just sticks with whatever you connected to last.
The one thing that threw me off at first is that there’s no real “switching” button. You just have to pause whatever you’re listening to on one device and hit play on the other. If you do that, it picks up pretty fast. If you leave music paused on your laptop and then try to take a call on your phone, it can get a little confused for a second, but nothing that requires forgetting the device.
I haven’t had to re-pair them once since the initial setup, so that part is definitely not a hassle.
Mine barely gets warm at all, honestly. I’ve had it plugged in since spring and I only really noticed any heat when I first got it and checked on it daily. After that initial week or two, it just sort of settled in and stays pretty much room temp whenever I happen to touch it.
