Depends how thorough you are I guess. I’d probably just time it for a quick wash and top up the battery if needed between rinses. Seems like most people get through a car without much fuss.
Honestly I think it depends how close you’re willing to sit to it. Mine’s in a room with zero ceiling insulation and it keeps me cool enough if I’m within a few feet, but the far side of the room barely feels it. Still better than sweating through the night though, so I’d say it’s worth a try.
I think it’d probably do alright for a workshop, especially if you’re just hitting the dusty spots and not trying to clear out piles of wood scraps. The runtime might be a little short if you’ve got a big space, but it seems like it’d be handy for a quick blast now and then.
I skimmed through and it sounds like most people with smaller fingers are getting on okay with it, which is reassuring. I was mostly worried about the sensors not reading right if it wasn’t snug, but seems like that’s not a huge deal in practice. Might just end up giving it a shot and seeing how it feels.
I think it’d probably be fine if you just keep an eye on where it’s plugged in, but I’d personally rather not deal with the hassle of moving it back and forth every time. I’d just pick up a second one for the bathroom if you really want heat in there, since they’re small and cheap enough.
I was kind of on the fence with mine, but after a few months I actually do think it takes the edge off my general restlessness. Not a game changer or anything, but I sleep through the night more often than before.
Honestly, I think people get too hung up on the pause. For the kind of short business calls you’re describing, it’s usually fine. I’ve had a few where the translation hiccuped on a specific word, but nothing that derailed the call. Definitely worth trying if you can return them.
I’ve seen people mention the straps and I think that’s really the main thing. Once you get them how you want it stays put fine. The weight never struck me as an issue either.
I’ve been wondering the same thing honestly. I got one mostly for the heart rate and sleep tracking and the blood glucose thing feels like a bonus I don’t fully trust yet. I haven’t compared it to a regular meter but mine seems to show numbers that at least don’t jump around randomly so maybe it’s doing something right.
Honestly, I mostly just like that the LED makes it easier to see where the thing is in the yard at night. Saves me from tripping over it, so that alone is a win in my book.
Alright, fair points all around. Sounds like the camera is good enough for the casual stuff I’d be doing, which is pretty much what I figured. I’ll probably stop overthinking it and just grab one.
Honestly I wouldn’t overthink it. If you’ve been sleeping on a flat pillow for years anything with actual support is going to feel tall for a night or two.
I’d be a little surprised if the HDMI itself was the problem—it’s usually more about whether the TV can handle whatever resolution Flixy tries to push. I’d just check the settings when you plug it in, you might need to drop the output down a notch or two.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. It seems like it would have to use less water if you’re not just letting it run wide open, but I haven’t actually measured it or anything.
I’ve got one and honestly I barely even look at the activity tracking part. For sleep it’s decent enough to see patterns but I wouldn’t call it super accurate if you’re comparing it to a medical device. The size is nice for travel though, way less annoying than a watch when you’re trying to sleep in a hotel. Still on the fence if it’s worth the money for just that one thing.
I haven’t had any snagging issues with mine, but I also keep it clipped to a loop inside my bag rather than on the outside. Kinda defeats the quick-access purpose a bit, but it’s still easy enough to grab if I need it.
I haven’t used it for a super long walk yet, but I wore mine around the house for a few hours and it didn’t budge. The silicone grips seem to work fine for normal moving around, so I’d be surprised if it slid down just from walking longer.
I think it really depends on which drone you’re looking at. Some of the smaller ones are surprisingly compact and could probably squeeze into a 20L pack if you don’t have much else in there. I’ve seen a few friends just strap theirs to the outside of their bag with a carabiner, which seems easier than trying to Tetris everything inside. Not totally sure if that’s ideal for hiking though, since you’d want it protected from bumps.
I guess it’s a little better than a standard foam pillow, but I wouldn’t say it’s a huge difference. Mine doesn’t feel like it’s cooking my head overnight, but I think calling it a “cooling” layer is a bit generous. It’s just not as stuffy as my old one, which is good enough for me.
Different experience here. I had mine for about 8 months with maybe 2-3 alerts a day and it died on me. Wouldn’t count on that two year thing. I’d just go in expecting to swap batteries once a year if you actually use it.
Honestly I think the battery thing just depends on what you’re doing, I’ve had days where it drained faster than I expected. The roaming speeds I’m not totally sure about, I haven’t really compared it side by side with a local card.
I think it just takes a bit for your neck to figure out the new shape. Took me almost a week before I stopped waking up and going ‘what is this thing’ but after that it was fine.
I think it’s fine, not a big deal to keep a tiny flashlight in the car. Not totally sure about how long one will last if it’s cheap, but for occasional night use it seems worth having, I guess.
