Mike89ParticipantGood to know Im not the only one who just stuck it on and forgot about it. I ended up putting mine on the case since the tablet back felt a bit slippery and its been fine so far. Looks like a little dot, nobody even notices it.
Mike89ParticipantI think it depends on the connection more than the app itself. I’ve got mine set up in the living room and checked it from work on my lunch break, and it felt pretty close to real time. But at home on my sketchy wifi it definitely drags a bit more. Not enough to bother me, but it’s not like a TV broadcast.
24 de August de 2026 at 08:04 in reply to: Qinux Zindoggo safe zone vs old fence setting, how exact is it? #7935
Mike89ParticipantI’d say it depends on how you define accurate. The fence itself is more about giving you a heads up that the dog left the area, not exactly where he crossed. Mine pings a bit slower if he’s behind the house where the signal gets blocked, but out in the open it’s been pretty solid. I wouldn’t expect it to be down to the foot, but it does the job for keeping tabs on a wanderer.
23 de August de 2026 at 06:54 in reply to: Does the Breezi AC need ice to be worth it on a hot day? #7808
Mike89ParticipantIce is the whole fun of it though, that first blast of cold actually feels like real AC.
21 de August de 2026 at 09:16 in reply to: Herz P1 Smart Ring waterproof enough for swimming laps or is it just splash proof? #7575
Mike89ParticipantI swim with mine a few times a week, not just pool laps but also some open water when it’s warm enough. I was nervous at first too because rings are small and you’d think water would mess with the sensors, but mine has been fine so far. I’ve had it since June and it’s been in the water a lot. Heart rate tracking during swims seems to work, though I’m not staring at it mid-stroke or anything. I check after and the data looks right.
The one thing I noticed is that the touch stuff on the ring acts weird when wet, but that’s not a big deal since I’m not tapping it while swimming anyway. After I get out I just rinse it with fresh water if I was in the ocean and dry it off. No issues with the screen or charging or anything like that.
I’d say if you’re planning on doing laps regularly, it should hold up. At least mine has.
Mike89ParticipantI’ve got a couple of these heaters in my house and neither one has ever tripped a breaker. I did notice the plug gets a little warm but nothing crazy. If your place has old wiring, that’s probably the real issue, not the heater itself. I’ve run mine on a circuit with a TV and a computer and it’s been fine.
17 de August de 2026 at 18:13 in reply to: Does Tagsley work if it’s not in an Apple device case? #7358
Mike89ParticipantThe case really has nothing to do with it since the phone itself is the thing that matters for setup. Once it’s paired, it just pings off whatever Apple device happens to be nearby. I toss mine in a backpack all the time and it updates fine. You’re overcomplicating it in your head.
Mike89ParticipantThe passport holder only does anything while the passport is in it though. I toss mine on the hotel bed or leave it in the room safe half the time. The card at least stays with you if you grab just your wallet for a quick walk around town.
8 de August de 2026 at 19:21 in reply to: FitiBeats touch controls – do they ever get less finicky? #6778
Mike89ParticipantI had the same worry before I got mine. For me it was mostly about getting used to where to tap. Once I figured out to tap closer to the middle of the bud instead of the edge, it got way better. I still accidentally pause sometimes when I’m adjusting them during a run, but it’s not constant.
30 de July de 2026 at 16:43 in reply to: Heater Pro X making a faint clicking sound when it cycles off – normal? #6129
Mike89ParticipantI wouldn’t overthink it. My old space heater did the same thing and ran for years without any issues.
Mike89ParticipantI just set mine to the highest quality and let it overwrite. Haven’t touched the card since I put it in.
29 de July de 2026 at 21:25 in reply to: Do the Qinux Talkbuds work okay with just one earbud? #6083
Mike89ParticipantI just use one earbud most of the time and it works fine for me. No settings needed or anything like that. The translation still comes through the app normally.
24 de July de 2026 at 13:57 in reply to: Anyone tried the Qinux HydroXeltor nozzle on cars or patios? #5838
Mike89ParticipantQuick connect worked fine on my standard hose, no issues. I mainly use it on the patio and it handles moss and grime better than I expected. For the car I just keep it on a wider spray and it’s been fine on paint so far. Pretty handy little thing for the price.
Mike89ParticipantI got one for that exact reason before a trip to Japan. The listen and repeat mode worked fine for me, it picked up my attempts pretty well even when my accent was way off.
16 de July de 2026 at 16:42 in reply to: Pro Capture battery life when using WiFi for the app? #5322
Mike89ParticipantI mean, WiFi is gonna drain it a bit, but mine still lasts a good while on hikes. I wouldn’t sweat it too much.
12 de July de 2026 at 09:31 in reply to: Does SavingStars work for really slow kitchen drains? #5038
Mike89ParticipantI think it’ll probably handle a slow kitchen drain fine. The foaming action is more about loosening stuff up than blasting through a hard clog, so it fits the situation. I wouldn’t worry too much about needing something stronger for just a slow flow.
10 de July de 2026 at 12:32 in reply to: ODIN SafeWave EMF on a laptop — does it stick well near the heat vents? #4920
Mike89ParticipantI slapped mine on a laptop and haven’t thought about it since. Still stuck on there last I looked. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
9 de July de 2026 at 18:09 in reply to: AerioQ wall mount — does it cool well enough for a small bedroom? #4868
Mike89ParticipantI think it’d probably do the job. I got one for a room around that size and it keeps things comfortable enough on warm nights. Not totally sure how it would handle a heatwave though.
Mike89ParticipantYeah that makes sense, Boost Mode probably just chews through the battery faster than the 4 week claim. I switched mine to Everyday a few days ago to see if it lasts longer, we’ll see.
Mike89ParticipantI got mine a couple months ago and it still feels the same to me. The shape seems to hold up fine so far. Cover feels decent, nothing special but not flimsy. I’d say just give it time and see how it goes.
4 de July de 2026 at 06:56 in reply to: How often do you actually take your dog for a haircut? #4455
Mike89ParticipantI think 8 weeks is a decent middle ground. I don’t stick to a strict schedule either, just whenever his face starts looking like a mop. It’s probably fine to push it a bit if the fur isn’t bothering him.
3 de July de 2026 at 21:17 in reply to: Does rain-x stuff actually make cleaning windows easier? #4439
Mike89ParticipantHonestly I think it does help a little but people oversell it. It’s not magic or anything, dirt still builds up eventually. I just find it makes hosing off the windows a bit quicker for me.
2 de July de 2026 at 19:51 in reply to: PolorVision for night driving — does it actually cut down on streetlight glare? #4369
Mike89ParticipantI feel like it depends on the type of streetlight honestly. The really bright white LEDs still catch my eye a bit, but the older orange ones seem way softer with them on.
Mike89ParticipantI think you’d still get through a couple of grills on high, it just probably won’t last a full cookout session if you’re scrubbing the whole time. Not totally sure how much it drops, but for a quick clean it should be fine.
1 de July de 2026 at 05:54 in reply to: Does the pressure sensor on the Oral-B iO actually work in practice? #4237
Mike89ParticipantI think it does the job okay. I catch the red light sometimes when I’m half asleep and pressing too hard, and it does make me ease up a bit. Maybe not a game changer but definitely not useless.
28 de June de 2026 at 05:46 in reply to: Logitech MX 3S on Linux – any quirks without Logi Options+? #4018
Mike89ParticipantI just use mine with the default settings and it works fine. Bluetooth connects quick, battery lasts forever, and the scroll wheel is nice out of the box. I never really needed to mess with custom buttons or anything.
27 de June de 2026 at 06:41 in reply to: Does the Brita pitcher really need filter changes every 4 weeks? #3952
Mike89ParticipantI’ve had mine for a few months and honestly I just go by feel. The 4 week thing seems like a safe bet for them but I usually push it to like 5 or 6 weeks and the water still tastes fine. Not a big deal to me.
23 de June de 2026 at 07:29 in reply to: Hewelth ReliefChain heat mode – does it get actually warm or just kinda warm? #3678
Mike89ParticipantI think it might just be how yours runs. Mine gets noticeably warm after a few minutes, not crazy hot or anything but definitely more than just gentle. Maybe try it on a higher setting or use the pulse mode at the same time, that seems to help it feel stronger.
22 de June de 2026 at 05:03 in reply to: SonaBuds battery life when using translation mode a lot? #3590
Mike89ParticipantI haven’t really tested mine on a super long conversation yet, but I did use translation for a short call at the airport and it seemed fine. Probably drains a bit more than just music but not enough to really bother me on a normal day.
19 de June de 2026 at 10:30 in reply to: Black Falcon Drone 4K at 60fps, or is that just marketing? #3394
Mike89ParticipantI haven’t really tested mine frame by frame but honestly the footage looks smooth enough to me for what it is. I mostly just use it for quick shots while hiking so 30fps wouldn’t bother me anyway. Maybe the 60fps is only in some specific mode or resolution setting.
