22 de May de 2026 at 09:25 in reply to: Qinux BitBip 89: adding games and saves — anyone figured this out? #1308
MarkD87MemberGuess I’ll just live with the save roulette. Added a few games via USB and that part was easy enough, so I’m calling it good enough for now.
MarkD87MemberShort answer to the title: maybe, but only if the camera is constantly uploading or you watch the live feed a lot — otherwise I think it’s usually not noticeable. One small practical thing is to switch it to motion-only recording or drop the resolution/frame rate, that cut the slowdown for me. Cloud uploads use your upstream so if your upload is tiny you might see lag, and 2.4 GHz is fine for range but can be more crowded than 5 GHz, so maybe test both.
MarkD87MemberNoise sucks but probably not an instant disaster. Personally I’d live with it for a bit on a cheap beater since new tires aren’t cheap, even though it makes highway driving annoying. Hope it stays just noisy and nothing worse.
MarkD87MemberThanks everyone, I think I’ll just keep the remote in a little tray on my desk and live with the squishy buttons since the heater actually works great. Maybe I’ll pick up a magnet later if it keeps annoying me, but not worth fussing over right now.
MarkD87MemberThanks everyone, those comments helped. I’m sticking with it and will just carry a tiny power bank, speeds are good enough for me. That’s all from me, cheers.
MarkD87MemberSeems fine, not a big deal. Maybe the UV is more marketing than miracle, I think.

MarkD87MemberI think those tiny handhelds actually grab a fair bit of hair from cloth seats, at least mine does. Not flawless, but handy for quick cleanups in a small car. I usually vacuum then hit the seats with a sticky lint roller for the stubborn bits, works fine for me.
MarkD87MemberI grabbed a second Clip 5 and pairing was pretty straightforward, I think. It makes stuff sound fuller and louder but I’m not sure it gives distinct left/right separation, maybe just a wider mono vibe. Still handy for casual outdoor listening, so I’d probably keep both.
MarkD87MemberUpgraded to the MX 3S as well and love the quiet clicks, but Bluetooth on my work laptop is a bit flaky too; I think it’s more the laptop/drivers than the mouse, maybe interference. Kinda miss a receiver for travel, not totally sure why Logitech skipped it. Overall it works fine most days.

MarkD87MemberEveryone hypes the automatic AI switching as a magic trick, but does it actually feel smarter than just flipping between presets?
12 de May de 2026 at 13:52 in reply to: Anyone tried the Qinux BittOne for commute/portable play? #544
MarkD87MemberFrom what people report, at medium brightness playing SNES/Genesis-style games you’re looking at roughly 3 to 4 hours. Good for a couple commutes, but not something to rely on for a long trip without topping up.
MarkD87MemberSeems like a nice convenience to avoid the cable, lots of people say it pairs once and mostly reconnects on its own. Heard about the occasional slow boot or weird reconnect with certain head units, so don’t expect flawless behavior in every car. If you hate plugging in, worth a cheap try.
MarkD87MemberBeing Apple-only is a bit of a downer, I think.
11 de May de 2026 at 16:00 in reply to: ClairLite UV lamp – actually useful for phones/keyboards? #453
MarkD87MemberNot totally convinced it’s anything more than peace of mind, to be honest. Maybe rooms feel a bit less musty after a run, but I still wipe things down.
11 de May de 2026 at 05:36 in reply to: Is a cordless pressure washer any good for real cleaning? #354
MarkD87MemberI’ve had a BlastVul for a while. Super handy for quick car and patio tidy-ups, but don’t expect it to beat a full pressure washer on really baked-on gunk.
MarkD87MemberI use mine a few times a week and haven’t had it jam on synthetic corks. Occasionally the spiral doesn’t bite well if the foil or top is messy, so you end up re-doing the pull once in a while. Still worth keeping for casual dinners, imo.
10 de May de 2026 at 06:33 in reply to: Anyone used Translattia earbuds for travel conversations? #282
MarkD87MemberI take Translattia on trips and they handle quick back-and-forths pretty well when it’s quiet. In loud airports or busy cafes the mic gets swamped and translations can come out weird, so I end up using simple phrases or hand signals. Battery-wise I get a full day of meetings and some music (about 6 to 8 hours) unless I’ve left continuous translation on all day.
MarkD87MemberBeen using LumaGlasses for months, comfortable for 2-3 hour stretches and pretty lightweight so I forget they’re on. After about 3-4 hours the nose pads start to dig in and on hot days they trap heat on my temples. Great for short commutes, I switch to earbuds on long days.
MarkD87MemberI’ve had a Flixy on my guest room TV for a few months, cheap and makes the old set useful. I do notice a little lag or stutter switching between apps sometimes, maybe network or the stick reloading itself. It also gets a bit warm tucked behind the TV, but overall I’d keep it for casual watching, not totally sure about long term app support.
MarkD87MemberChest mount is steadier for sure, but I actually miss having the horizon in shots — it feels a bit low for scenery. Pixgo’s stabilization helps but don’t expect gimbal-smooth, bumps still show. Spare battery is a must, and I keep the camera in a tiny soft pouch when I clip it on so it doesn’t rattle. Works fine for casual rides though.
MarkD87MemberI’ve got one too and it does smooth out the usual fridge funk. It won’t erase raw onion or stinky cheeses though, those still need airtight containers or a proper clean. I stash mine on the top shelf and swap it every few months, good enough for daily use.
MarkD87MemberThanks RyanT, good tips. I’ve been keeping firmware up to date and do pop into airplane mode on long runs, that helps but I still get about half a day with light use. I’ll try dimming the LEDs and disconnecting a couple gadgets to squeeze extra time. Still carry a tiny power bank but overall it’s handy even if trains are flaky.
MarkD87MemberYep, same deal for me — made faint hairlines disappear for a bit but deeper ones still show up at angles after a couple weeks. Application is super quick so I just reapply on the stuff I care about, not ideal but easy enough. If you want it gone for good you’re looking at polish or touch-up paint.
