Mine slipped on small chain too, but the new one didn’t fix that for me. It held the angle fine on bigger teeth and still wandered on the little stuff, so I never felt it was worth the swap. Angle itself never struck me as the problem, keeping the thing planted was.
I’ve only used mine for drinks, and soup doesn’t seem worth the cleanup risk. The stirring works for mixing powder into liquid, but thick stuff is a different job. Mine stays on drink duty.
I went the other direction and just added up the small stuff over time. A handful of plugs and chargers each sipping a little adds up to more than you’d expect, like a slow leak in a tire. Checking each one separately is kind of a rabbit hole though.
Physical switches are the only thing I actually trust in an outage. I set up one lamp on a plain old timer plug a while back just so something in the house still clicks on and off without needing wifi at all. It’s dumb but it works, which is kind of the point.
Mine actually stopped reading reliably after a few weeks in a bag with a magnetic flap. Not saying the magnet caused it, but I moved it to a plain pocket and it’s been fine since. So I’d at least test a card before trusting it in there.
No issues on my end either. I stuck one on my router about a month ago and ran a few speed tests since then, mostly out of curiosity. Numbers looked the same as before, so whatever it’s doing, it isn’t choking the signal.
The 180 days is definitely a best case thing. I use mine for a full scan maybe four or five times a week and I still get a decent stretch out of it, nowhere near a month though. It’s not something I think about much.
I take mine on late dog walks and the owls are usually pretty easy to pick out once it’s fully dark. The screen is bright enough that you don’t have to squint, which surprised me. Not a pro optic by any means but it does the job for a casual look.
I used mine in my car once and it was fine on the seats, though I only did a quick pass. The dashboard is where I’d hesitate since the plastic in mine marks easily. Fabric held up okay though.
Mine didn’t do much for the litter box itself, but it helped with that stale smell that lingers in the air after scooping. That alone was worth it for me. If the box itself is the source, though, no lamp is going to fix that.
I have the same screen and noticed the crease got a lot less obvious once I started leaving it hanging between uses instead of packing it up right after movie night. Mine lives on the patio now, and after maybe three weeks of just staying up, that line pretty much disappeared unless I’m looking for it. So I think the folding is what keeps refreshing it. Not saying you need to leave it up permanently, but even hanging it somewhere for a day or two before the next use might help more than rolling it tighter.
As for whether it ever fully flattens, mine hasn’t gone 100 percent perfect but it’s close enough that I forgot about it. The only time I notice anything now is if the projector is really bright and I’m sitting off to the side. Straight on, it looks fine. So it does improve, just slower than you’d expect.
I’m a side sleeper too and it just never felt tall enough for me. My shoulder was fine but my neck ended up sore, so I gave up on it after a couple weeks. Could be a me thing, but I don’t think that shape works for every side sleeper.
Not sure I’d trust it through a wall. Mine cut out as soon as I stepped into the next room, so I just set the timer and walk away. Easier than fighting with the remote anyway.
Mine sucked water straight out of a bucket the first time, no priming needed. I’ve used it that way maybe half a dozen times since and it always catches on its own. So yeah, the self suction thing is real in my experience.
I usually give it maybe 30 seconds, not the full 3 minutes. Waiting longer just made it gummy and harder to wipe off for me. Short dry time worked way better.
I don’t think the vibration does much. I borrowed one for a couple weeks and still had to scrape the same spots on my lower teeth the same way as my old pick. The tips felt a bit nicer to hold, but the actual cleaning part was basically the same for me.
Mine stuck to a case that curves all over, no peeling so far. The sticker is smaller than I expected too. For something in a pocket it’s a cheap enough experiment either way.
I’d put a small board or mat under mine if the carpet is really thick, just to keep the airflow from getting blocked. Otherwise, if the unit sits level, I think you’re overthinking it. Carpet won’t hurt it as long as it’s not wedged into the pile.
Mine does that too but I mostly notice it if I rinse and dry it with a towel instead of just letting it sit. Once it air dries for a couple minutes it feels normal again. I wouldn’t call it a problem, just a quirk of the surface.
I keep mine plugged in under my desk, but pointed toward my legs rather than the window. The draft still makes that side of the room cold, but at least I’m not sitting there shivering. Honestly if the window is that bad, you might just need to block it off anyway.
Mine doesn’t click either, it just sits there. I’ve had it for about a month and it hasn’t fallen off yet, but I also don’t move much when I sleep. I can see why it would be annoying though, the magnet definitely feels weaker than I expected.
