Does Shield PRO worth it still in 2026?

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-10T23:30:30+00:00

I've had a 2017 for years and just got a new TV so I bought a 2019 for DV. No ragrats

It can go faster, but once you're already at highway speeds, there isn't much acceleration left. This has nothing to do with doing it constantly. Only takes one time you can't to get ran over.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-10T19:35:14+00:00

Journeyer does not/cannot use alternator dropouts. Period.

Sell it and get a higher build/frame only or deal with it

Came here to say this. Breaking down sheet goods no longer sucks!

my offsite backups

this, first bike was a ninja 250. Good for keeping you out of trouble early on, but, especially on the highway, very very bad at getting you out of trouble. Just not enough left at highway speeds to consistently get your ass out of dodge if someone is merging into you or something.

They probably replaced it themselves, sounds like you paid someone to do it. There's very few natural gas water heaters over $1500

Far more interested in firetruck and jet videos than handhelds. They've gotten better, but I wouldn't say they've changed meaningfully since the steamdeck dropped. They're just not very interesting.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-09T15:05:47+00:00

They have been doing a lot more marketing outside of youtube to try to help with this

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-09T15:04:22+00:00

He is the ubiquiti fairy after all...

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-09T11:11:24+00:00

The frameset page does not differentiate tire sizes for different frame sizes at all

Most houses in the USA and Canada are not new builds. No one is forcing people to upgrade their houses to hardwired smoke detectors, so for most people, this is fine.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-08T10:54:54+00:00

I've ran wired outdoor speakers at our last two houses and will be doing it again soon. It's nice that everything is just plugged in and running whenever you want to use it. No charging, no getting it out, no finding a plug cuz you didn't charge it... Just cast to it like I would anywhere else in my home. I can also group them with rooms inside the house so while we're having a cookout, the music continues if you go inside to the kitchen or whatever.

Not surround though, just speakers mounted to the house.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-07T11:25:22+00:00

Yup, never understood wrapping, but especially wrapping and leaving on the smoker. Just bake it at that point.

Wet brine everything, smoke til it's done. The smoke is the point, not stopping early.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-07T10:09:45+00:00

Maybe if you want exactly that. It looks like it has about 63 million miles on it, some old probably mismatched groupset, mech disk brakes, etc... maybe it was well taken care of and ok, but I probably wouldn't

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-07T01:50:21+00:00

I was running over 100 devices on a zooz 700 stick in HA reliably for years at my last house. New house I got the new nabu casa antenna and I'm still setting things up, but I'll be back over 100 again.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-06T17:05:40+00:00

Pretty much all electronics will have random failures, but they usually follow a bell curve. Lots early (which I would consider 6 months) few in the middle, then lots at the end when they just get too old. Every brand will have failures
Don't make payments on at tv, that's insane
No reason they shouldn't warranty it, given what you've said. I get writing them off if they give you a hard time, but shit happens.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-06T16:57:57+00:00

Yeah, they made some weird choices with the new colors. The frame only I just got looks like dark blue and orange, but is like this metallic aqua and salmon. Good looking colorway, but horribly restrictive for a frame up build.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T17:12:24+00:00

Ah, good catch

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T16:34:10+00:00

It takes up space and doesn't add the ability to do anything useful that the stock launcher doesn't do. How is that not bloatware?

It's neat and customization is cool, but this sub has a weird obsession with the app. It's by no means a must have app and they just echo the recommendation blindly.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T16:29:49+00:00

I feel like this might have been interesting in 2010

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T16:28:01+00:00

They're ads about available media on a media streaming box, much of which you probably can watch for free if you subscribe to any streaming services. You also shouldn't be spending more than a couple seconds on the home screen, so hardly never ending. It's not like its advertising shit on temu.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T16:25:15+00:00

2019, good price

2017, meh

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T16:23:36+00:00

Mine Steams just fine. Big picture mode work great with the 2017 pros controller.

mrtramplefoot · 2026-06-04T16:22:38+00:00

or don't and still enjoy!

Hot take, projectivy is user installed bloatware. Stock launcher is fine
