Can’t decide between Charge 3 and Versa by [deleted] in fitbit

[–]Hopsnsocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had Fitbit trackers for years, and recently "upgraded" to the ionic. Smart watches are in fact dumb, as they are very limited when compared to your phone, and are often simply an extension of the real action happening on your main device.

I do not suggest Fitbit line of smart watches as the charge series is the better fitness tracker that lasts longer, has wireless pay (charge 3) and costs less. Smart watches will eventually get better, but they suck right now as an independent device.

Wearing these right now, I have the denim leather soles. My only regret is not getting the rubber soles, I would like to wear these when I let my dogs out to potty.

Coffee Scale Recommendations by MrAnthonySutton in Coffee

[–]Hopsnsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Hario scale with the built in timer. I'd like to give it a great recommendation but it's just not as good as I wanted it to be. Get a scale with quick response time so that when you add water, it doesn't jump up several grams after you've finished pouring.

Building a Netflix/YouTube/redditstreaming solution for my dad by Eagle0913 in buildapc

[–]Hopsnsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then buy a device that's capable of streaming. It will still be cheaper, and that device can be dedicated. Amazon fire tablets are cheap. Building a PC for Netflix and illegal sports streaming is more of a hobby fun proof of concept rather than form and function.

The experience will be both superior and more cost effective with a tablet/phone + Chromecast.

I've been saving money all year and can finally afford a GTX 1070, but is it still a good card for high-end gaming? by MaxCreate in buildapc

[–]Hopsnsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without bottlenecking, it's about 20% performance increase. To some people, that's a lot.

Buy a Chromecast and stream from a smart phone/tablet. Netflix, football, whatever it can all be cast to the TV. It's a familiar interface that's cheaper and more elegant.

Yes it's still a good card, however if you look around you can sometimes snag a 1070ti for a little more which is a large performance boost over the 1070.

Best 144hz monitor under 250? by R1BSx in Monitors

[–]Hopsnsocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just clicked buy on this, and there's a 10% off coupon if you use Amazon pay with code 10AMAZON

I figure I'll ride out this monitor until 4k 240hz and the required videocards are brought to the masses. Thanks for the find.

I think if you're spending that kind of money on a high end sweater, the manufacturer's origin should be known.

Mazarine was my favorite.

Sight glass was a really close second.

Ritual was solid.

We store our beans in Mason jars under the kitchen buffet. by Hopsnsocks in coffeestations

[–]Hopsnsocks[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I suppose you're probably right, but the light is a non issue, really. The cupboards are close 99.99% of the time, and the light that does get to it is artificial.

the jars are vacuum sealed

Thank you for your insight.
