I’ve got a thin cotton throw over part of mine and it’s been that way for about a month. Feet still feel the same to me, so I never bothered moving it. The mat itself seems fine with just cloth on top.
Mine’s in a wallet with a couple of loyalty cards and the left-behind alert feels about the same as when it was sitting loose in my bag. If anything, the slow trigger seems more about how fast I walk off than what’s next to it.
Mine has been on the TV port for a couple months now and I haven’t had any dropouts, even during longer movie nights. The port on my set stays powered all the time though, which I think is the thing that actually matters here. If your TV kills the port on standby, that’s when you’d get the weird reboots.
My tap never gets properly hot either, so I just let the warm water run for a couple minutes before I add the powder. Gives the pipes a head start and the foam still shows up fine. I do leave it sitting closer to half an hour when the water is only lukewarm, mostly because I wander off anyway. The one time I used cold water by accident it barely did anything, so there is a line somewhere. Warm is fine in my book.
I’d probably keep the subscription and just cook a batch of something simple on weekends as a supplement. That way you get the “I know what’s in the bowl” feeling without committing to full-time meal prep. My cousin does that and it works for her schedule.
I’ve had one rattling around in my car for a few months now and it lives in the little cubby under the center console rather than the glove box. Not because it didn’t fit, more that my glove box is basically a paper shredder for receipts and I didn’t want to bury it. It’s about the size of a large coffee mug, so I’d say it fits in most glove boxes unless yours is already packed like a clown car. The bit that actually matters for me is having it within reach when I’m parked and spot crumbs on the seat, which is way easier than dragging out the big vac and fighting the cord. It won’t replace a proper clean, but for cup holders and floor mats it does the job fine. Mine’s been in there since spring and I haven’t had to move it once, so the storage claim holds up in my experience.
Reading the whole thing rarely helps anyway since it’s written to be vague on purpose. I just check if there’s a separate section for health data and whether opting out is even possible. If it’s buried or missing, that tells me more than the actual wording does.
I just let mine work it out and the cat ended up picking a new spot on her own within a week. Cats are weirdly flexible about that stuff when a new animal shows up. The dog never even tried the couch, he just followed the cat around instead.
Windows kinda matter for smoke. CO mixes in the air fine but smoke rises and can sit near the ceiling, so a low outlet in a weird corner is not going to catch it as fast.
I feed mine whenever I’m home and it’s been fine for years, mostly because they all eat in separate spots. The schedule thing only mattered when I had a cat on meds twice a day. For a normal crew I don’t think it’s worth the extra work.
Bathrooms being damp is kind of overblown as a worry for these little plug in heaters, at least in my experience. What actually got me was the outlet situation. My bathroom only has one of those GFCI outlets near the sink and the heater kept tripping it whenever the fan in the room kicked on at the same time. Took me two tries to figure out it was the combo of the two running together, not the moisture itself. Once I just used the outlet on the other wall it was totally fine.
Point being, the heater itself handled the bathroom fine, the wiring in older bathrooms is what I’d actually pay attention to. Ten minutes before a shower is a pretty short window so you’re probably not going to run into much either way. Mine gets used longer than that when it’s really cold and it’s held up.
I will say though, it warms up the spot right in front of it way more than the whole room. If your bathroom is on the bigger side you might be standing right next to it to feel anything. Small bathrooms it’s great. Mine is tiny so it works out.
Mine actually pulled dust out instead of pushing it under. I hold the nozzle maybe a foot away and use the trigger in little taps, and the dust just flies off the top of the keys. If you jam it right up against the board that’s when stuff gets weird, but backed off a bit it’s fine.
I’ve used mine for exactly this and it works fine for walking, but I wouldn’t call it a full phone replacement for directions. The prompts come through the glasses and my phone stays in my jacket pocket the whole time, so the hands free part is real. What I noticed is that it’s basically just your maps app talking through the glasses, so if the app is slow to update or you miss a prompt, you’re still stuck glancing at your phone anyway. For short trips around my neighborhood it’s totally fine and I do it all the time. For anything longer or somewhere I don’t know, I still keep my phone within reach because the audio alone doesn’t always give me enough confidence on which exact turn to take. So yeah, it works, just not as smoothly as having the screen right there.
I’d probably just leave it where it’s easiest to use. Dragging it in and out gets old fast, and if it sits on the patio you’ll actually use it. If you have to haul it every time, it’ll just stay inside.
Mine’s on a black laptop so it basically disappears, but I did put one on a light gray Switch case and yeah, you can see it. I don’t care enough to move it though, it’s just a sticker to me.
I have mine sitting on a thin rug in my bedroom and it works fine for the weight part, but I never trust the body fat numbers on it anyway. The handle thing is what actually gets me the full scan so the surface matters less than I expected. I just use it in the same spot every time and compare my own trends.
Mine picked up a wired one right away when I plugged it into the OTG adapter, no menus or anything. Two player stuff on the TV worked fine after that. I only tried it a couple times though, mostly just use it handheld.
Mine doesn’t get blurry at 4x, so I don’t think that’s just normal for this cam. I zoom in on signs and plates pretty often and it holds up fine for me. Maybe yours has a bad unit or the lens is dirty?
Last I checked they don’t do prescription through the site, but a local optical shop can usually swap the lenses out for you. My cousin did that with a similar pair and it worked fine, just cost extra. Worth asking Luma support first though, since the frames might not be standard.
Fair enough, sounds like I just need to practice more before blaming my old engraver. I’ll probably keep it for now and maybe grab a cordless one later if I see a deal. Thanks for the input everyone.
I’ve had mine for a couple months and the saves have stuck around fine, even after unplugging it for a week. I only really use it for short arcade stuff though, so I can’t speak to long RPG sessions. If I were you I’d just test it with one game first before sinking hours into anything.
I gave up on regular cases and grabbed one meant for contour pillows. Still a little loose in spots but nothing bunches up anymore. Not a perfect fit but close enough for me.
Mine actually worked through two walls when I first got it, but now it’s hit or miss from the kitchen. Same remote, same spot, so I don’t think walls are the whole story. Could just be interference from other stuff in my apartment.
I’d keep the socks on if that’s your normal thing. The mat isn’t going to care much either way, and you’re not going to get some huge difference just from bare skin. I’d be more worried about whether you actually remember to plug the thing in every day.
I’ve used it on an old cedar planter box that had a few coats of exterior paint peeling in spots already, just to see what would happen. The loose bits did come off, but that paint was already lifting way before the nozzle touched it. Any solid paint stayed exactly where it was.
One thing that caught me off guard though, the wood looked lighter after it dried. Not like stripped or bleached out, just like the top layer of grime and dust got washed away, so the natural color showed more. I actually liked it, it made the bench look cleaner than it had in months. I think if the paint on your bench is in decent shape, you’re probably fine. The thing that would mess up wood more is holding the spray in one spot too long, so I just kept sweeping it side to side and moved on.
