    I’d probably just go with whatever folds up smallest and costs less, honestly. The Black Falcon seems fine for quick clips if you’re not expecting much.

    in reply to: Pro Capture mount size vs older GoPro mounts? #2411

    I’d guess they’re the same size, but I’d double check before buying. I had a similar worry with a different camera and it worked out fine.

    I’ve had mine for a few weeks now and the power bill did seem a little lower. Not a huge difference, but enough that I noticed.

    in reply to: Anyone using a smart ring just for sleep tracking? #2026
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I got one as a gift and honestly it’s fine for what it does. I don’t pay much attention to the numbers, but it’s nice to just glance at in the morning and see if I slept badly or not. For travel the size is definitely a plus, no complaints there.

    in reply to: Jetterix vs a regular nozzle – same water usage? #1953
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I just got one for washing the car and didn’t really think about the water usage. It worked fine and I wasn’t standing there forever, so I’m not too worried about it.

    in reply to: Does Flixy work with a really old HDMI port? #1948
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I’d think it’s probably fine. We plugged one into an older TV at a relative’s house and it worked without any issues. The HDMI port was definitely from like 10 years ago or something.

    in reply to: WaveMax range in a city apartment? #1636

    I wouldn’t overthink it too much. I live in a similar setup and mine pulls in the local channels just fine. For news and the occasional game it should be totally fine.

    in reply to: Breezi AC actually do anything in a humid room? #1583
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I feel like people overthink these things. It’s just a little desk fan with a water tank, not a miracle machine. If the air is already sticky, it won’t turn the room into a freezer, but it does make the air right in front of you feel less stale. It’s fine for what it is.

    in reply to: Blink Outdoor battery life with normal use? #1458

    I’ve had mine for about a year now with moderate motion and it’s still going strong. I wouldn’t stress too much about the 2 year claim.

    in reply to: TrimZa for really thick nails or just regular upkeep? #1430
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I actually got it for my own thick toenails and it wasn’t great. It just kind of skips over them without really cutting.

    in reply to: Does Epicooler actually cool a room or just circulate air? #1383
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I’ve had mine for a few months and honestly it’s not going to cool like a window unit, but it makes a difference if you sit near it. For a small bedroom it’s fine, just don’t expect the whole room to feel like an icebox.

    in reply to: SonaBuds offline mode – anyone actually use it? #1167
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I think it works okay for really basic stuff like ordering food or asking simple questions, but I wouldnt rely on it for anything important or fast. The slowness is real, so maybe keep a phrasebook as backup just in case.

    Only bring it if it’s tiny and runs on common batteries you already carry; otherwise it’s extra clutter you’ll probably forget about. Local stations can be fun to stumble on, but for a short trip I’d skip packing spares.

    in reply to: Using my UV-C bottle for gym and weekend hikes #982
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Like it for quick outings, keeps the bottle from smelling and I don’t fuss with it. For multiday trips I’m meh, charging and extra weight make me usually grab a plain insulated bottle instead. If I’m car-camping or can charge easily I’ll bring it…

    in reply to: How fast does everyday use wreck paint? #845

    Not true, clearcoats aren’t immortal, but they usually keep paint looking fine for a few years of normal daily use before major dulling shows up.

    in reply to: Anyone tried the Qinux BittOne for commute/portable play? #626
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Not sure who said the sticks are useless, but I think they’re fine for casual fighting matches. Maybe not tournament level, but I can pull off combos without much fuss. Battery life on medium was okay for me too, a couple hours on a commute.

    in reply to: Omnihear impressions: discreet and helpful but a few quirks #593

    Not as life-changing as the ads make it sound, but pretty handy for older relatives who want something simple and nearly invisible to wear, tho.

    in reply to: Thinking of using a plug-in heater in bedroom overnight? #577
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Bought one last winter and left it on overnight a few times; mostly quiet but the fan can hum so I’m not convinced it’ll slash your heating bill unless you actually turn down the main thermostat. For the price it’s fine as a little spot heater though.

    in reply to: Glokore Therapy Mask: real results or just hype? #575
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Fits in a side pocket of my carry-on and is really light, so storing it or taking it on trips is no hassle. That said, I think the fast wrinkle-fix hype is overblown, maybe it needs months not weeks.

    in reply to: ClairLite UV lamp – actually useful for phones/keyboards? #477
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I’ve got one and zap towels and stuffed toys now and then. They do smell cleaner after a cycle, but I wouldn’t skip an actual wash. Handy for quick touch-ups, though I’m skeptical about the bigger claims.

    in reply to: Qinux Gravizer for small DIY projects? #344
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Looks like a decent little tool for quick personalization, compact enough to tuck in a craft drawer. Grip seems comfortable for short jobs and it won’t intimidate a non-technical person. Not what pros use, yet handy for making simple gifts, labels and small custom touches around the house.

    in reply to: Anyone tried Clima Pest Guard in a bedroom or on a porch? #332
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    I think it does better in small enclosed spaces than out on an open porch. Maybe that’s why some people still wake up with bites, not totally sure though.

    in reply to: Thinking about the Derila Ergo pillow #323

    Nice that your neck felt supported. Does the cover seem decent and washable? I avoid pillows with thin covers so curious if this one feels built to last.

    in reply to: WineCork Pro worth it for casual use? #314

    Thanks, helpful replies. Good to know about synthetic corks and the noise.

    in reply to: Thinking about Pro Capture Action Cam for travel and biking #304

    Main thing I’m wondering is battery life. Can it handle a day of short vlogs and rides without swapping batteries? If not, carrying spares would ruin the pocketability.

    in reply to: Anyone using smart glasses for calls on the go? #278
    SarahMSarahM
    Participant

    Bluetooth can be a bit flaky for me on the commute, especially in subway tunnels and crowded platforms, so calls sometimes drop. Otherwise they’re handy for quick walking calls.
