    I wouldn’t overthink the humidity thing. Even if the ice isn’t doing much, the airflow alone is worth it on a gross day. I figure if it feels a little better than a regular fan, that’s a win.

    I think the timer is a decent guide but I’ve found myself using it more as a suggestion than a rule. I usually end up cutting it short most days, not because it’s too long or anything, just because I get distracted or decide I’ve had enough. I’ve noticed that even when I don’t do the full cycle, my gums feel less irritated after a few days of consistent use. Not totally sure if the shorter sessions are doing the heavy lifting or if just the habit of using it at all is what helps. I’d say start with the full timer for the first week to get a feel for it, then adjust based on how your mouth feels. That’s what I did and it’s been working fine for me so far.

    The remote working through walls is honestly the main thing that sold me on it. I just close the door, hit the button, and walk off. It feels a little weird the first time but you get used to it.

    I’m in the same boat, trying to figure out if it’s worth it long term. The filter price sounds reasonable but I’d probably just wait until the water flow changes before swapping.

    in reply to: DashOne Pro loop recording vs old cam I had #5832

    Honestly, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Most loop recording cams just overwrite old footage on their own, and the DashOne Pro does the same. You shouldn’t need to format it unless you run into some weird issue.

    I haven’t used NuraFix long enough to say for sure, but mine still beads water after about four washes so far. It’s not as dramatic as the first day but it hasn’t completely vanished either. I’m curious how it holds up through winter weather though.

    I haven’t tried the concentrated stream on siding yet, mostly because I’m a little nervous about messing up the vinyl. I just keep it on the wide setting and it seems to do the job okay for regular dirt.

    I’d say it’s not really a problem. The wings are soft enough that they just kind of squish down with the rest of the pile. I haven’t noticed it taking up extra space or anything.

    I think it depends a lot on how you grip it. I have pretty small hands and the finger hole really does lock things in place, so the handle width hasn’t bothered me much. I’ve used mine for a good hour of chopping without it feeling awkward or cramped.

    in reply to: Qinux VultrioX for moss on brick pathways? #4186
    Laura ReadsLaura Reads
    Member

    I’d actually say the opposite. I tried it on my brick path and wasn’t that impressed. The steel wires just bounced off the moss instead of cutting through cleanly, and I had to go over the same spots a few times. Maybe my trimmer isn’t powerful enough, but it definitely didn’t feel like a quick fix.

    in reply to: Qinux Vibrathea pads stick well enough for neck use? #4107
    Laura ReadsLaura Reads

    I haven’t tried it specifically for neck and shoulders, but with adhesive pads on other devices it usually comes down to how clean and dry your skin is. If you’re just shifting around a bit while sitting, I’d think it’d be fine.

    in reply to: Omnihear social mode any good for noisy restaurants? #3642

    I’ve been wondering the same thing honestly. I don’t really eat out that often but when I do it’s usually pretty loud so I’m curious if social mode just makes everything feel like it’s the same volume.

    Low speed is just for light stuff, you definitely need to run it on high for the baked-on gunk. It handles it fine, just takes a couple of passes.

    I’m in the same boat trying to figure that out. I don’t have a fully enclosed patio either so I was worried the breeze would just blow the UV light around too much. It’s good to hear it might still catch the smaller bugs though, that’s really what I’m after.

    I think it’s probably a mix of both for most people, but that doesn’t really matter if it works for you. I’ve been thinking about getting one for my desk just to see if it takes the edge off during the workday.

    in reply to: Melara Air cooling claim vs real life? #2883
    Laura ReadsLaura Reads
    Member

    Honestly, I think people overthink the cooling thing. It’s just a pillow that doesn’t trap heat, not a whole new sleep system. If you’re a hot sleeper, it might help a little, but it’s not going to change your life.

    I’ve been eyeing one of these for camping trips, so it’s helpful seeing people talk about it. Good to know it’s just an evaporative cooler, that’s pretty much what I expected.

    I’ve had periods like that too and honestly they just sort of came and went on their own. Sometimes tweaking stuff helps but other times it feels like my body just does what it wants no matter what I change.

    Hope yours settles down soon either way.

    I’ve been wondering the same thing. If the wattage is the same, I guess the power bill wouldn’t change, but I’d probably switch just for how the heat feels. My old heater makes the room feel really dry after a while.

    I’ve flown mine on a breezy afternoon near the shore and it wobbled a bit but the footage was still usable for quick clips. For the price I think it handles light wind better than I expected.

    in reply to: Does Flixy work with a really old HDMI port? #1889

    Yep, it should work just fine. As long as the TV has an HDMI port, even if it’s quite old, Flixy should work perfectly. I’ve seen people use it on older TVs without any issues at all.

    Yeah, shows both earbuds and the case.

    I’ve got a 2010 model and it works fine for me so far. Plugged it in and drove around for a week, nothing weird happened with the OBD2 port or anything. Honestly, I was expecting more issues but it just did its thing.
