    I’d say bring the power bank, honestly. Mine lasted most of a day but I was only using it in short bursts, not constantly chatting. By late afternoon it was getting low and I started watching the battery icon. It charges fast enough, but I wouldn’t rely on it lasting from morning till night if you’re actually talking to people all day.

    I’d say no, not really. Mine always slips off the sides.

    That’s good to know, seems like it’s just part of how it works then. Thanks for the input, I’ll just keep an eye on it.

    I think it’s just the nature of any plug-in heater, honestly. I’ve noticed my skin feels a bit tighter if I’ve had it running for a few hours, but it’s not something that’s made me want to stop using it. A little moisturizer in the morning and I’m fine.

    I think people overanalyze the fit on this thing. As long as it covers the mouth and nose and you press down to get that seal, it’s going to do its job. A little extra space around the edges is not the end of the world in a panic situation.

    I’d give it a bit more time before deciding. I know people say a week is enough to tell, but sometimes battery stuff changes after a few charge cycles or when you start using it more.

    I was a little worried about fit too, but the small tips that come in the box worked well for me. They seem to stay put without feeling too tight.

    in reply to: DashOne Pro loop recording vs old cam I had #5820

    I actually found the opposite with mine. The DashOne Pro kept looping fine but I noticed some random clips would get locked for no reason and then the card would fill up anyway. I still have to manually format it every few weeks to keep it working right.

    I skimmed through the replies and it sounds like they’re fine for basic stuff but not magic. I’d probably grab a pair just for music and see how the translation holds up on a quiet day first. Battery life seems decent enough from what I’ve read, but I’d keep the case handy just in case.

    in reply to: WaveMax for an older TV without built-in digital tuner? #5033

    Converter box should take care of it, no issue there. I run a WaveMax with an older set in my guest room and it works just fine. The antenna doesn’t know how old your TV is.

    in reply to: Does SavingStars work for really slow kitchen drains? #4988

    Honestly I’d probably just give it a shot for a slow kitchen drain. It’s not like you’re dealing with a full clog so the foaming stuff should be enough to break up the grease without needing anything harsh. Worst case you waste a few bucks but it’s worth trying before you mess with stronger chemicals.

    I’ll be honest, I mostly got mine for ants too, but I did notice I’m not swatting at mosquitoes as much when I’m reading in bed at night. It’s not like they’re gone, but there’s definitely less buzzing around my ears. For something that just plugs in and hums away, I’ll take that as a win.

    I tried it on a spot on my trunk that had been fading for a couple years and it definitely looked better, but not like new. It took the chalky feel off and made the color more even, but you could still tell it was older paint if you looked close. For a quick fix without much effort, I thought it was fine.

    in reply to: Herz P1 Smart Scale handle feel weird for anyone else? #4050

    I noticed that too when I first got mine. It slides out fine but definitely doesn’t feel super sturdy compared to the rest of the scale. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it hasn’t gotten worse or anything, so I think it’s just the design. Still works fine for the readings.

    I’ve been using mine on Linux for a few months and honestly haven’t run into anything annoying. Bluetooth stays connected and the default scroll wheel speed is fine for my needs.

    Honestly I think it’s fine for most conversations. I wouldn’t overthink it too much.

    I’ve had mine for a few months and honestly haven’t noticed any battery issues in my sedan. I only drive a few times a week and it’s been fine, just make sure you’re not parking for like a week straight.

    Mine works from about 10-12 feet without issue, so maybe yours is a bit off. Could be worth checking if something is blocking the sensor on the fan itself. I wouldn’t panic over it, mine has been fine for what it is.

    in reply to: Worth trying a small evaporative cooler for desk/bedroom? #3131

    Member

    I tried one of these smaller evaporative coolers last summer and honestly, it’s fine if you sit right next to it, but I wouldn’t say it replaces a fan for me. The ice helps for maybe the first hour, then it’s just room temp water blowing around. I ended up using it more as a little humidifier on my desk than anything.

    I mean, it’s probably fine for what it is. If you’re already getting the stick for streaming, I wouldn’t sweat the games too much one way or the other.

    in reply to: Hewelth UVClean battery life when using self-cleaning mode? #2384
    MeryVip
    Member

    I haven’t really tracked it that closely, but I just charge mine when the light tells me to and haven’t noticed it dying faster than I’d expect. The self-cleaning mode seems pretty quick so I can’t imagine it’s a huge drain unless you’re also running the manual mode a lot. I wouldn’t overthink it honestly.

    I haven’t really paid close attention to battery drain myself, but it makes sense since wireless is just doing more in the background. I mostly use mine for short hops around town, so I haven’t noticed anything drastic. Long drives might be a different story though, I guess that’s when you’d really feel it.

    in reply to: NuraFix on dark paint — does it leave any haze? #2045

    Member

    I have a dark blue car and I was a little worried about haze too, but I didn’t see any after using it. I just made sure to really buff it off well with a clean microfiber and it left a nice, clear shine.

    I think the main benefit is more about chlorine and sediment than actually softening hard water. It might help a little with the film, but I wouldn’t expect it to fix that completely.

    Honestly, I think you’re overthinking it a bit. I’ve used mine on grout and it does fine for daily grime, but if you’ve got years of buildup in a corner, you’re still going to have to wipe it by hand. It’s not magic, just steam.

    I’ve used mine a few times on my car and honestly it was fine. I just kept it on the wider spray and didn’t hold it super close. The pressure is noticeable but not crazy, so I think it depends on your water pressure at home. I’d say go for it but just test a small spot first.
