    It’s not really a long range thing, so if your bag is on the other side of the airport you won’t see where it is live. The last location thing usually gets you close enough though. I just use mine to make sure my stuff didn’t get left behind somewhere, works fine for that.

    I mean you can try your own SIM, probably works. I never bothered swapping mine out though.

    in reply to: Anyone using a smart ring just for sleep tracking? #2017

    I think it probably depends on how much detail you actually want. The sleep stuff seems decent enough for just seeing if you had a rough night, at least from what I have seen.

    I’ve had mine for a few months and it does make a little noise when the water’s almost gone. Nothing crazy, just a slight change in sound. I usually just fill it in the morning and it lasts through my workday no problem.

    Honestly I just use mine for moss on brick and it does the job fine. No major damage, just a bit of dust. Swapping heads is a minor hassle but not a dealbreaker for me.

    Pretty much the same experience here. I think the ad blocking works best on simpler sites but anything with lots of scripts or video ads just slips through. Still nice to have for the price though.

    Mine does the same thing, flickers a bit now and then. Never really bothered me, still seems to work fine. Probably just normal for these things.

    in reply to: Does the Derila Ergo have a noticeable cooling effect? #1523
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    Honestly I think it does help a bit. I used to wake up with a sweaty neck on my old foam pillow but the Derila feels noticeably cooler to me. Not like ice cold or anything but definitely better than regular memory foam.

    in reply to: Baseus Enerfill USB-A port slower than expected? #1473
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    USB-A ports are usually a bit slower on these multi port chargers when you’re using the other ports too. If it’s just the A port by itself though, could be the cable or your phone just not pulling the right protocol. Works fine for my older stuff.

    Pretty sure that’s normal. Mine does the same thing, the spray just changes depending on how much water is flowing through it. I only really notice it when I’m trying to rinse off the car, but for cleaning the patio it’s fine.

    in reply to: Qinux Talkbuds: good for flights and offline use? #1268
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    I only used mine on a couple shorter flights, but the battery held up fine for that. Noise wasn’t too bad in the terminal either, but I wasn’t trying to translate in a really loud spot. Offline mode felt a bit hit or miss to me, but maybe I just didn’t have the right languages downloaded.

    Took me about 5 or 6 nights before I stopped noticing the shape. Woke up with less stiffness in my neck so I figure it’s doing something right.

    in reply to: Enence translator offline real talk? #1080
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    Offline mode works fine for basic back and forth in my experience, just don’t expect it to handle super long sentences or slang perfectly. It’ll get you through ordering food and asking directions no problem. I’d still keep a phrasebook handy for anything more complicated though.

    Sounds like a neat option for cramped apartments, I think the foldable design would be my priority with something like this. Not totally sure about the UV bit but I like quiet, tuck-away gadgets so I’d probably lean toward it.

    in reply to: iTagPro: decent for pets and travel or just hype? #935
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    Seems fine as a cheap bit of peace of mind for travel or tossed-in bags, I think. Maybe don’t expect pro-grade tracking, but for everyday misplacements it should do. Not totally sure about using it on pets that wander far though.

    I grabbed one too and honestly it’s been handy for quick touch-ups, nothing fancy but does the job. Likes that it’s rechargeable and the light actually helps see weird spots.

    Mike89Mike89

    Battery life is legit, about a week for me. I did a quick compare with a meter once and the watch numbers were pretty far off, so I don’t trust that feature. Still fine as a cheap fitness watch though.

    in reply to: Thinking about anti-mold paint #884
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    I usually just buy paint with the mold-killing additive — easier than messing with primers or extra steps, and it seems to hold off the regrowth for a while. Maybe it’s just cosmetic, but for a tiny corner it’s been good enough for me.

    Bluetooth’s spotty for me too, and I really miss the tiny USB receiver for travel.

    in reply to: Omnihear impressions: discreet and helpful but a few quirks #592
    Mike89Mike89
    Participant

    Had mine a couple weeks and I actually think the case and buds feel pretty solid for the price, not cheap plasticky. I do get a little whistle when I fidget, so could be fit rather than electronics. Battery definitely feels shorter than “30+ hours” to me, so yeah that claim seems optimistic. Still does the job for shows and short outings.

    Setup looks super straightforward in pics, but I’m not convinced the clamp stays perfectly steady on every chain the first few times. Videos make the guide look idiot-proof, yet that initial fiddling could surprise beginners.

    Mine’s been going just over a year and still pumping strong steam with zero leaks. Use it a few times a week and it’s been fine for me.

    Picked one up too. I mainly zap my gym bag and the TV remote, things smell a bit fresher afterward so maybe it helps. Not totally sure it’s nuking every germ but it gives me peace of mind.

    I think the GPS can wobble a bit in heavy tree cover or near tall buildings, so you might see the dot jump sometimes. In open parks it seemed solid for me though.

    Seems pretty pocketable for casual days out, should fit in a jacket or cargo pocket unless you shove it in a bulky case. Interface looks simple enough for quick grab-and-go clips, which is what I care about. Carrying mounts or a spare battery obviously makes it less pocket-friendly, but as a basic travel/bike camera it looks handy.

    Use them mostly for music and quick chats on trips. Sound and call quality are decent, so I keep them handy even when I’m not using the translator.
