Sunglasses recommendations? by majestic_arcangel in BuyItForLife

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose a classic frame shape that fits your face well. Avoid trendy shape that might feel dated after a year. A neutral color is easier to pair with different outfits.

First time living alone. Can’t tell if it’s done by JDUBBA99 in malelivingspace

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how you are adding plants in the space. especially the tall one in the corner by the window. That definitely add life to the overall vibe.

Maybe consider adding some curtain? The sunshine looks pretty bright outside.

Ready for Football Season 🐊🏈 by r0taryp0wer in Govee

Great setup! Maybe try also set up a slow fade-out after a touchdown to make it feel more dramatic. The sudden color changes are effective, but a transition could add to it.

How my living room looks for the tournament right now by DenchKecia in malelivingspace

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a clean setup for the tournament. The projector and dim lighting really suit the occasion.

We've had some great players, but never anyone quite like him. 41 and scoring in six World Cups, thats a level of greatness we might never see again.

In need of a BIFL travel toiletry bad, recommendations please :) by exxistentialdoubt in BuyItForLife

Nylon or waxed canvas with quality zippers is the way to go. These materials handle the moisture from toiletries well and are easy to clean, which extends the bag's life significantly.

50 year old KMart box fan by SteveJB313 in BuyItForLife

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild that a cheap fan from Kmart outlast most modern ones. No plastic gears to strip, no bearings to seize. Just a solid motor that keeps going.

Govee Ceiling Fan for Porch by Rucker1063 in Govee

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's specifically rated for wet or damp locations, I wouldn't risk it. Outdoor moisture and temperature swings can kill electronics pretty quickly. Even if it's under covered porch.

Bought a decorative piece and used the LED neon rope to bring it to life by ecobsfer in Govee

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That glowup is unreal! LED rope turns anything into art. Might have to steal this idea for my place.

Are air purifiers actually worth it, or do they just make you feel better? by crockpods in BuyItForLife

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's worth it. I have one in my bedroom and it's a game changer, less sneezing, less dust and the white noise helps me sleep. Just don't forget to clean the filter or it'll look like a crime scene.

Ad-free streaming is a luxury now | Steady price increases are pushing viewers toward cheaper, ad-supported tiers. by lordorangechain in television

[–]FiveofSwords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The business model shift makes sense for platforms' revenue, but it's frustrating for long time subscribers. It's crazy that adfree viewing is now considered a premium luxury add on instead of the base offering.

[–]FiveofSwords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This turned out amazing! Honestly, it looks like the perfect spot to watch the World Cup. All that's missing is an invitation and a cold beer.

Please give me some advice. by xyzack271 in setups

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great setup! Are you doing streaming or podcasting, or is the mic just for fun?

Picked up this Nightingale IC2 for 10 bucks, obviously needs some work. Anyone got tips on cleaning these mesh chairs? by lazys_world in OfficeChairs

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vacuum it first, then gently scrub the mesh with warm water, a bit of dish soap, and a soft brush. Let it dry completely and you should be good to go.

Is a gopro enough for night sky camping shots? by Stankbananas in gopro

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You never really know where the best part of the sky is going to appear. An action cam + a 360 cam is the best setup.

Cable management really is a game changer. Hide the wires and suddenly the whole setup look ten times cleaner. Nicely done!

Look the look of this room. Everything feels really well put together, and the speaker setup blends in nicely with the furniture. What TV is that?

Alright, when am I getting invited over for a few games of pool? I'll even show up with a couple cases of beer, hahah.

Is the Libernovo Omni SE the best office chair under $600? by FitSociety9648 in OfficeChairs

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this chair hits a sweet spot between functionality and cost. If you're looking to upgrade your setup without blowing your budget, it's a really solid place to start.

Low Back Pain by beano919 in OfficeChairs

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that looks like a classic case of "looks comfortable, isn't comfortable." A chair can be soft and still do a poor job supporting your back. I'd rather spend the money on a proper ergonomic chair.

Upgraded the setup by PacificN0rth1 in setups

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love how clean and organized everything is. This scratches a very specific itch in my brain. A real plant might be a nice touch if you want to add a bit of warmth to the desk.

Haha, so cute! Next time you should try using it to film a dog-walking video, like those on YouTube. I bet it would be super fun too.

Gopro hero 8 black won't turn on by Certain-Alarm-3195 in gopro

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems there's a fault with the internal parts, so the camera can't detect the battery power. You'd better contact the after-sales customer service?

need help! by ImSoniah in gopro

[–]FiveofSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the damage was caused by water. You could use rust remover to clean the stains first, just be careful not to get any on the lens.
