  • in reply to: DashOne Pro loop recording vs old cam I had #5845

    It does overwrite the oldest clips on its own, so you don’t have to delete anything manually. I’ve had mine a few months and haven’t touched the card once since I put it in. That said, I still format it every couple months just to keep things clean, but it’s not really necessary.

    in reply to: StopWatt and older wiring, anyone tried it? #5844

    I’ve seen a few people mention it works fine with older wiring, so I’d probably just give it a shot if I were you. Not totally sure how much it really changes things, but seems like it doesn’t hurt to have it plugged in.

    in reply to: Coolizi Coolzy for a bedroom that gets afternoon sun? #5681

    I was actually wondering about this too but more for a living room setup. The remote seems like it would be nice but Im not sure how much I trust the quiet operation claim for sleeping.

    in reply to: Is a mini AC enough for a small bedroom? #5268

    I’ve wondered the same thing honestly. From what I’ve seen, they can take the edge off but don’t expect it to feel like central air or anything. I think it really comes down to how picky you are about the temperature.

    in reply to: Mouth taping at night worth it if I already use a humidifier? #5260

    I kind of wonder if it’s overthinking it a bit. If the humidifier already stops the dry throat, the tape seems like an extra step that might not change much for you.

    in reply to: Qinux PolarBreeze battery life question #5193

    I’d guess the fan speed is the main factor since the motor for oscillation is pretty small. I run mine on medium without oscillation and it lasts maybe 5-6 hours, which is enough for me.

    in reply to: NanoPolix on single stage paint? #5165

    I mean, it’s just a cloth, not some harsh chemical. Single stage paint isn’t that fragile. I’d just try it and not overthink it.

    in reply to: CoolCove for a drafty room in winter, any good? #4855

    I think it really depends on what you’re expecting from it. The CoolCove might help take the edge off if you point it right at yourself, but it’s not going to warm up the whole room if there’s a draft constantly coming in. I’ve seen people say it works okay as a personal heater, just not as a room-wide fix. Not totally sure it’s worth it if you’re hoping to fight a leaky window or door.

    in reply to: Hewelth UVClean cap seal getting loose over time? #4729

    I haven’t noticed much softening on mine, but I also tend to only use it with cold water so maybe that helps. Still seals fine when I toss it in my bag though.

    in reply to: Derila Ergo shape and storage question #4692

    Honestly, I just stuff mine in the closet with the rest of the pillows and it squishes down fine. The wings aren’t stiff enough to get in the way or anything. Doesn’t seem like a big deal either way.

    in reply to: TopCarPlay and audio delay in certain apps? #4649

    I’ve seen a few people mention that. I mostly stick to music and podcasts so I never really tested video through mine. Probably just a minor quirk with wireless streaming.

    in reply to: Does rain-x stuff actually make cleaning windows easier? #4430

    I tried it once on my windshield and honestly couldn’t tell if it made cleaning easier or not. Felt like the dirt just moved around differently. Probably not worth the extra effort for me.

    in reply to: CoolCove on a shelf vs wall mount, any difference? #4406

    I think it probably depends more on your room layout than anything else. Shelf placement might be fine if the air isn’t blocked, but wall mount could change the direction a bit. Not totally sure it’s a huge difference though.

    I’m still kind of on the fence with mine. I feel like it does more than a regular fan if you keep the water topped up, but I’m not sure it’s actually changing the room temp.

    in reply to: Baseus Enerfill charging my MacBook slower than expected? #4250

    Honestly, I think the whole “fast charging” thing with multi-port chargers is a bit overhyped. Once you plug in more than one thing, the power gets split and it’s never as quick as you expect.

    in reply to: Battery life on Qinux Dogitek remote, does it last? #4125

    I don’t use mine every single day but even when I do it lasts well over a week before I need to plug it in. Not bad at all.

    Appreciate all the replies, sounds like most people haven’t had issues with it. Think I’ll just go ahead and grab one and see how it goes, seems straightforward enough.

    Honestly, I think people overthink this. It’s just a fancy nozzle that concentrates the water stream a bit. It’s not going to match a real pressure washer for caked-on mud, but for a weekly wash it’s probably fine.

    in reply to: AiraBreeze fan speed dial feels loose is that normal #3699

    I noticed the same thing on mine, it has a tiny bit of wobble but the clicks are still solid. I just set it to medium and haven’t touched it since, so it doesn’t really bother me. Probably just a quirk of how they’re assembled.

    in reply to: Black Falcon Drone 4K at 60fps, or is that just marketing? #3485

    Mine looked a little off too at first but I didn’t really dig into it. Probably fine for messing around with, I guess.

    in reply to: Worth trying a small evaporative cooler for desk/bedroom? #3126

    I’ve been curious about these too, mainly for my desk at work. The USB power thing is nice since I could just plug it into my laptop, but I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes compared to just pointing a fan at myself. The ice thing sounds like a hassle if you have to keep refilling it.

    I’ve seen a few people mention the 4K on this one, and from what I can tell it’s a noticeable jump over basic toy drone cameras, but don’t expect it to look like a phone or a proper camera. The colors and sharpness are better in decent light, but it still has that small sensor look if you zoom in too much. For casual travel clips on social media it’d probably work fine, just not for anything you want to print or pixel peep.

    in reply to: Qinux BreezaMax angle adjustable enough for desk use? #2508

    I’ve had mine on a desk that’s pretty low and the tilt holds fine once you set it, but I did notice it’s a bit stiff to adjust at first. Not a big deal for me since I just point it where I want and leave it. Works well enough for blowing air upward from a low spot.

    in reply to: Enence Translator vs old phrasebook apps for offline use? #2374

    Honestly I think people overthink the offline thing a bit. If you’re just asking for basic directions or menu stuff, the Enence does the job fine without wifi. The old phrasebook apps were handy but scrolling through categories takes way longer than just speaking into the device. Not really a huge difference for simple use.

    in reply to: Flixy for casual gaming – any good? #2240

    I’ve poked around with the games a bit and they load up fine, but it’s not something I’d rely on for more than a few minutes here and there. The streaming part is clearly the main draw, so if the casual stuff works at all, it’s just a nice extra. I wouldn’t let the game support be the reason to buy it though.

    in reply to: Does the Black Falcon Drone actually handle wind okay? #2144

    I mean it’s a lightweight budget drone, so I wouldn’t expect it to handle gusts like a pro model, but for a bit of breeze near the coast it’s probably fine. I’ve taken mine out on a few slightly windy afternoons and it wobbled a little but nothing that ruined the clips. Honestly, I think people overthink it for the price.
