Only way I see saved pairs mattering is if you’re the type who forgets to check what’s actually selected before talking. That’s on you, not the app. I swap between English/Spanish and English/Portuguese all the time and accuracy stays the same. The delay is the delay. It’s not like the app is reconfiguring the whole engine every time you switch.
If the stress reading doesn’t match how you feel, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. Mine flags me as stressed whenever I’m sitting still watching a movie, but says I’m fine when I’m actually running around dealing with work nonsense. I just use it as a rough baseline now, not something I take seriously minute to minute.
It levels the file, but it still relies on you to hold the tool square to the chain. If your angle is off, the guide won’t fix that. I’d say check your own grip before blaming the tool. Most unevenness I’ve seen comes from rushing it, not the SawShark.
Had mine plugged in for about eight months now. It sits behind the living room TV and basically never gets unplugged. The stick itself stays cool to the touch whenever I bother to check it, which isn’t often. The USB power adapter gets slightly warm but nothing that makes me think twice about it.
The only thing I noticed after a few months is that the remote takes a second longer to wake it up from the idle screen. Not a big deal, just a tiny delay. I figured that was more about the software than the hardware getting cooked. I’ve had worse streaming boxes that ran hot enough to feel through the HDMI port, and this one doesn’t do that.
I did unplug it once to take it on a trip and it booted up fine after that. No weird behavior, no reset needed. It just acted like normal.
Honestly, it’s a cheap enough device that I’m not losing sleep over it. If it dies in two years from staying plugged in, I’ll just buy another one. They’re not expensive enough to baby. I’d say plug it in, forget about it, and only worry if you notice it actually getting hot when you touch it. That’s been my experience anyway.
I’ve done it on grates that were still warm, like maybe five or ten minutes after the coals died down. Not screaming hot, but definitely not room temperature either. The grease definitely loosens up faster at that point and the brush didn’t seem to care. The stainless head isn’t going to melt from a little residual heat.
That said, I wouldn’t try it right off the flame. Not because of the brush, but because anything you wipe off is just going to be super thin and runny and make more of a mess than it’s worth. Plus the handle gets warm and that’s not exactly comfortable to hold for a few minutes.
I think if you can hold your hand a few inches above the grate without yanking it back, you’re fine. If it’s still radiating serious heat, wait a bit. The tool handles warm just fine, but there’s no point in rushing it.
The storage card only matters if you want to save what you’re looking at. For basic night walking, you’re fine. Mine is basically just a fancy monocular most of the time.
I wouldn’t trust it for a whole hike if you actually need it. The offline stuff works for very basic exchanges, but it’s not like the full experience. If you’re in a pinch and just need a few words it’s fine, but don’t plan a whole conversation around it.
If you can feel it with your fingernail, don’t bother. That’s body work. If it’s just in the clear coat, it’s basically a polish situation and NuraFix might make it less visible, but it’s not going to disappear. I’d say try it on one spot and see if you’re okay with the result before doing the whole panel.
Mine does the same thing. The notification usually hits after the bird’s already flown off, so I mostly just end up watching an empty feeder. I stopped relying on the live view for that and just check the recorded clips later. Seems like that’s just how it is.
Depends on the hose valve with mine too, but that’s just how it is. If the water’s not flowing full, the pattern gets sloppy. I’ve had mine for a couple months and it’s always done that, no weird damage or anything. It’s a nozzle, not a laser.
The pause gets on my nerves too. It makes the whole thing feel robot-like instead of actually helpful for real conversation. People keep saying you get used to it, but I ve been using mine for a few weeks now and it still feels clunky. I d rather have the delay than have it cut off the translation though.
I’d say it works fine in a garage, but people tend to overestimate what one little plug-in unit can do. If the space is cluttered or you’ve got stuff stacked around, the signal isn’t going to reach everywhere. I’d grab two for a garage, especially if it’s got any kind of workshop setup going on.
If you’re worried about it, just follow the instructions in the manual. But for real, plugging it in at counter height is not going to ruin anything. It’s not a smoke detector that needs to be on the ceiling. As long as it’s not tucked behind a curtain or something dumb, you’re fine.
If you’re just sitting at a desk, I wouldn’t overthink it. The strap does its job well enough for that. But if you’re expecting to walk around and have it stay perfectly in place, you’re probably going to be adjusting it. It’s fine for a stationary session, though.
Honestly, it’s just save states on a cheap emulator handheld. They’re never going to be 100% bulletproof. If you’re worried about losing progress, just use the in-game save too. Not really a big deal.
I mean, ice is ice. It’ll give you a colder blast for a few minutes but once it melts you’re back to normal. Seems like a lot of messing around for not much payoff.
Bit of a nothing question honestly. If it works it works, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. Just leave both in there and stop overthinking it.
Probably just the ground being uneven. Not much you can do about it, same as any other head I’ve tried. Works fine on normal grass, that’s what matters to me.
Honestly, I think you’re overthinking it. I stuck mine on a desk in the corner of the room and it picks up plenty of channels, so I doubt the ceiling makes a huge difference unless you’re in a dead zone. Not totally sure about the whole height thing, but mine works fine without any wall gymnastics.
I’d just get a regular fan. The AiraBreeze is basically a fan that blows air through a wet pad, so it feels cooler if you’re sitting right there, but it’s not doing anything to the room itself. For a small room, you’re probably better off saving the money and dealing with the humidity.
I just leave mine under the case. If the thing actually works, a bit of plastic isn’t going to stop it. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t matter where you put it.
The repellent function drains it way faster than the light alone. 12 hours on low with both running sounds about right for that battery. I wouldn’t expect much more.
Eh, the carabiner on the 5 is bigger but it’s still plastic, so I wouldn’t trust it with any real weight or rough movement. If you’re just dangling it off a thin belt loop, fine. Anything thicker and you’ll probably wrestle with it.
Thick wool is sort of the ultimate test for these things, and I haven’t seen many people chime in with actual experience on that. I’d be surprised if it handled a heavy chunky knit without some flattening, just based on how the air flows in those cabinets. Let us know if you try it, I’m curious.
It’s not just you. I definitely feel a difference when cutting on mine, it’s like the blade has a harder stop with less give.
Tried one on a car that had been sitting for a few weeks. It got the loose dirt off alright but the dried on mud around the wheel wells needed more than just a spray. Pressure is better than a regular hose nozzle but it’s not magic. Fine for a quick rinse if you keep up with it.
