29 de July de 2026 at 06:46 in reply to: Mounting the Qinux ScryneX on a brick wall – any tips? #6029
MikeRobbins
MemberI’d just use masonry anchors and a decent drill bit. It’s not rocket science, just make sure you don’t crack the brick. The screen itself is light enough that it shouldn’t be a problem.
28 de July de 2026 at 11:34 in reply to: Does the Qinux HydroXeltor work with low water pressure? #5983MikeRobbins
MemberMine works fine with regular pressure. Not gonna replace a power washer, but for a hose nozzle it does the job.
19 de July de 2026 at 15:22 in reply to: Qinux BitBip 89 wireless controllers any good for bigger hands? #5515MikeRobbins
MemberHonestly, I wouldn’t overthink it too much. If standard controllers already give you problems, these aren’t going to be a miracle fix, but they’re fine for casual sessions. Mine don’t bother me, and I’ve got bigger mitts. Just don’t expect some ergonomic breakthrough.
MikeRobbins
MemberI don’t get why people want half-hour settings on a cheap little space heater. It does full hours, so set it for 2 and it’ll shut off. That’s really all there is to it.
MikeRobbins
MemberHard to say without knowing what the cover’s made of, but I’d guess it’s fine. Most passport holders aren’t thick enough to block Bluetooth. I’d just toss it in and check it once before you leave.
MikeRobbins
MemberMy worry is less about the cooling and more about the noise. Those little units can be loud enough to be annoying while you’re trying to sleep, even if they do take the edge off.
14 de July de 2026 at 09:25 in reply to: ChirpyCharm solar charging question — does it actually work in partial shade? #5163MikeRobbins
MemberSolar charging is what it is. If your spot gets decent morning sun I’d say just try it and see how it goes. Worst case you move it a few feet or plug it in once in a while. I wouldn’t overthink it.
5 de July de 2026 at 10:08 in reply to: Does Repellio work on mosquitoes too or is that just marketing? #4537MikeRobbins
MemberHonestly, I think mosquitoes are a stretch. I notice way fewer ants since I plugged mine in, but I still get bit if I leave the door open too long. I’d say it’s mostly marketing.
5 de July de 2026 at 09:38 in reply to: DrFlexa sizing question – how tight should the straps be? #4535MikeRobbins
MemberI’ve got one and it was pretty easy to figure out. Just snug enough so it doesn’t move around when you bend your leg, but not cranked down tight. Works fine for me during a full shift.
MikeRobbins
MemberThey stick fine if you’re just sitting or moving slowly. If you’re bending and twisting a lot, they can peel a bit at the edges.
MikeRobbins
MemberProbably gets you through a car wash without much fuss. I wouldn’t worry about exact minutes, it just works.
20 de June de 2026 at 21:00 in reply to: Wood Ranger Power Leaf Blower okay for blowing out a workshop? #3508MikeRobbins
MemberI think you’re overthinking it. It’s a blower, it’ll move sawdust. I’d just use a broom for the big stuff first so you’re not burning through the battery on piles.
MikeRobbins
MemberIt just pops off and clicks back on. No tools needed.
MikeRobbins
MemberHigh speed is pretty much what you’d expect for the baked-on stuff. It’s not magic, but it gets there with a few passes. Not really a big deal.
MikeRobbins
MemberMine’s in a drafty room too. I think it does what it’s supposed to, keeps me warm where I’m sitting. Maybe the rest of the room just needs a bit more time to catch up, not totally sure.
MikeRobbins
MemberI think it still works, but you’re basically just getting a fan with a little dampness in the air. Not sure how much difference the water actually makes without ice.
15 de June de 2026 at 05:45 in reply to: Black Falcon Drone vs my old toy drone, is the camera actually better? #3051MikeRobbins
MemberThe 4K label is mostly marketing on drones at this price. If your old one is blurry though, this will look a lot better just because it holds steady. I would not overthink it.
MikeRobbins
MemberGuess I’ll just keep it in the cubby and stop moving it around. Probably the cable getting bent was most of it anyway.
10 de June de 2026 at 22:52 in reply to: Does NuraFix leave any kind of residue on plastic trim? #2757MikeRobbins
MemberPlastic trim just holds onto that stuff differently. I’d just wipe it down with a damp cloth and see if that clears it up. Not really a big deal unless you stare at it up close.
MikeRobbins
MemberMine feels the same. Not loose enough to bother me yet, but it definitely doesn’t snap like it did day one. Still seals fine when I shake it, so I’m not worried about it.
8 de June de 2026 at 05:49 in reply to: Qinux FelinStop vs old ultrasonic repeller, is the LED light actually useful? #2516MikeRobbins
MemberI wouldn’t overthink the light. It’s probably just a bonus, not the main feature. If it helps a bit at night, fine, but I’d rely more on the ultrasonic part doing the work.
MikeRobbins
MemberI get the caution but it’s a hose nozzle, not a power tool. I wouldn’t worry about gouging anything unless you really jam it into the wood and hold it there.
7 de June de 2026 at 08:22 in reply to: Enence Translator vs old phrasebook apps for offline use? #2461MikeRobbins
MemberI get what you mean about the old phrasebook apps. They work if you plan ahead but flipping through categories mid-conversation is kind of annoying. The Enence is quicker for just saying something and getting a response back. I haven’t used the Chinese offline much myself though.
MikeRobbins
MemberI just leave mine on the longest setting and don’t think about it. The remote is nice so I can start it from the door and not have to touch it again. Works fine for me.
MikeRobbins
MemberMine holds angle fine so far. I set it once and haven’t touched it since. Probably not something I’d stress over unless you’re constantly bumping into it.
MikeRobbins
MemberIt works fine away from the window, but you’re not getting the full effect if you’re expecting ice-cold air. It’s more of a breeze than an AC replacement. As long as you’re in a small room it’ll move air around well enough regardless of where you put it.
