    I put mine under the case and never thought twice about it. The whole point is it’s passive, so a bit of plastic shouldn’t change anything.

    I can see the red light flash sometimes when I’m really going at it in the morning, but I’m not totally sure if I’m actually brushing softer because of it or just noticing it after the fact. It seems to work when it lights up, just not sure I’ve changed my habits much because of it.

    I tossed a couple in my shed and honestly couldn’t tell if it actually kept anything away or if I just stopped noticing the smell after a week. It’s hard to judge unless you’re really paying attention to droppings or damage.

    in reply to: How well does the Qinux Talkbuds handle fast speakers? #3856

    I think it handles fast talkers better than I expected, honestly. I’m a fast talker myself and I’ve had a few conversations where it kept up without any awkward pauses. Not perfect every time but it doesn’t feel like the AI is falling behind constantly.

    in reply to: Is the Qinux BreezaMax quiet enough for a bedroom at night? #3660

    I sleep with mine on low every night and it’s barely noticeable. No humming or weird noises, just a soft whoosh that blends into the background.

    I’ve worn mine on a few really bright days and didn’t have trouble hearing calls or podcasts over wind. Sound quality drops a bit in heavy traffic but still usable. The lenses are definitely clear, not tinted, so you’ll still need proper sunglasses for glare. I don’t mind it much since I usually clip them onto my actual shades.

    in reply to: ClairLite placement for a cluttered room – does it matter? #3103

    I think it probably still helps with the air quality even if the direct light is blocked. I mostly notice it killing weird smells in my place more than worrying about every surface. But yeah, if you’re banking on it hitting behind the couch it’s probably not doing much back there.

    in reply to: Glacier Breeze water tank size vs my old cooler? #2984

    Member

    I run mine on low at my desk and the tank lasts me a full shift. I just fill it up when I get in and maybe top it off if I’m working late. It’s not gonna freeze you out or anything, but it’s fine for a little airflow.

    in reply to: Does the Glokore Therapy Mask feel comfortable to wear? #2730

    I think it’s fine for the price. I don’t notice it much after a few minutes and it doesn’t slide around when I’m just sitting there reading. Not something I’d wear while moving around much though.

    Kinda in the same boat here. I figure if the light is on and my bill didn’t go up, maybe it’s doing something quietly in the background. I’d probably just leave it plugged in and forget about it for a few months before deciding.

    in reply to: Pro Capture mount size vs older GoPro mounts? #2552

    I think you’re probably fine. The adapter that comes with it should let you use whatever mounts you already have lying around. I didn’t have to buy anything new for mine.

    in reply to: Enence Translator vs old phrasebook apps for offline use? #2545
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    I get it, the old phrasebook apps were good enough for the basics if you didn’t mind the menu digging. The Enence offline just feels more natural since you’re not reading off a screen, you’re just talking. For quick travel stuff it’s less fuss for me.

    I’m still figuring out if I’m using mine right honestly. I just twist it on and hope for the best, but my hair does feel less like straw after a shower. Might just be the softer water feel, but it’s not hurting anything so I’ll keep it.

    in reply to: Ryoko Pro works with any SIM or only theirs? #2322
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    Pretty sure you can just put your own SIM in it, that’s what I do with mine. The slot is unlocked, no issues with different carriers. I never even bothered with their plan, just tossed in a travel SIM and it worked right away.

    It’s probably just the wifi and bluetooth running at the same time, that’s gonna use more power than a cable. I wouldn’t overthink it.

    I got one and honestly the main thing I noticed was way less of that gross feeling on my skin after a shower. The water still leaves some spots on the glass, but it’s a lot better than before.

    in reply to: Do I really need to pair smart lights with a hub or not? #1837
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    Pretty much what I figured. The app works for one bulb but once you start adding more it gets clunky. I’ll probably grab a hub eventually just to keep things simple. Thanks for the input, that clears it up for me.

    I’ve seen plenty of people just mount them higher on the wall and call it a day. Ear level behind your head might be a bit much depending on how close you sit.

    in reply to: SonaBuds offline mode – anyone actually use it? #1595
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    I’ve used the offline mode on mine a few times and it’s been fine for simple stuff like asking directions or ordering food. The delay is there but not bad enough to make me pull out a phrasebook instead.

    Thanks for all the replies, that cleared things up. I’m just gonna stick with Bluetooth for now since I only need to control that one lamp. Works fine for me and I don’t feel like adding another hub to my shelf.

    in reply to: StopWatt placement near the breaker box, any issues? #1527

    I wouldn’t overthink the flickering light honestly. Mine does the same thing and it’s been plugged in for months without any issues. As long as the light stays on most of the time it’s probably fine.

    Alright, thanks for the replies. Sounds like it’s got enough kick to actually feel it, so I’ll probably just grab one and see how it goes. Appreciate the input.

    in reply to: Blink Outdoor battery life with normal use? #1450
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    Honestly, I’m not totally sure about that two year claim. I’ve had mine for about 10 months with maybe 3-4 alerts a day and the battery still shows full in the app. But I barely use live view, so maybe that’s why.

    in reply to: TrimZa for really thick nails or just regular upkeep? #1421
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    I have one and it’s fine for normal trimming but I wouldn’t count on it for really thick toenails. It’ll do the job eventually but it’s definitely slower and you have to go over the same spot a few times.

    I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and it’s kinda the same for me. Some sites it blocks fine, others I still get popups. Honestly feels like it depends on the site more than anything else, not sure if that’s normal or not.

    in reply to: SpyFocus motion detection sensitivity adjustable? #1267
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    Yeah, I think you can turn it down in the settings somewhere. I remember messing with mine because it kept catching my ceiling fan. Not totally sure where exactly but it’s in the motion detection menu, just slide it down a bit.

    in reply to: Qinux Vibrathea heat levels not very warm? #1197
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    The heat on this thing is pretty subtle, I wouldn’t call it a proper heating pad or anything. It’s more like a barely-there warmth that you might not even notice if you’re focused on the pulses. Doesn’t bother me much since I bought it for the EMS, not the heat.

    in reply to: Dog smells… do deodorizing sprays actually help? #1062
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    I think a lot of those sprays are just covering up the smell with a stronger one, not actually fixing it. I tried a couple and they just made my place smell like a wet dog and lavender mixed together, which is worse. You’re better off figuring out why he smells first.

    in reply to: Thinking about anti-mold paint #891
    L_ParkerL_Parker
    Member

    I don’t think it’s pure marketing, but I think the paint mostly just hides or slows visible regrowth rather than fixing the cause. For a spot that stays damp it’ll probably be temporary, so…

    I’d keep it. Seems like a decent, non-invasive aid even if it doesn’t solve everything. Not totally sure dogs won’t tune it out, but it does calm things down sometimes.
