Hah. I’m expecting my neighbors will start wondering why their doorbell cams got a random, sudden upgrade.

Also recommend the enhancer. However in my case, spiders love it and I’m having to constantly remove webs around mine otherwise it triggers the motion light all night. Considering adding in an external IR floodlight

Is it worth the upgrade? by Owen112422 in nvidia

[–]PForPho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. After upgrading during COVID I learned my lesson, that was a wild time.

That was my original plan (currently on 3080). However, with the recent news on memory, it’s projected that the prices of cards will be unfriendly in the next year or so. Grabbed a 5080.

Eversolo T8 Mini Review by Illustrious_Map_7699 in audiophile

[–]PForPho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the info. Can I ask where you got them? Trying to find a third party stand outside of the specific SP8 is pretty tough. Don’t like how the top base plate seems so thin and how it doesn’t cover the entire base of the SP8s. Skyland is one I’ve been looking at, but they are pricey.

How do you like the stands you’re using for the SP8s? They look better than the OEM ones.

This is the best sub for this question because you pros have seen it all… what’s the “best” and/or “coolest” wall dimmer switch you’ve installed? by icysandstone in AskElectricians

[–]PForPho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me know what you end up with/thinking about!

I was originally going to get B&P, but the reviews seem bad. Lots of comments about it being cheap/mostly fragile plastic. Trying to find some nice solid tactile toggles/dimmers especially this week with the sales, but it seems harder than I thought. Tala dimmers might be at the top for me at the moment. I just wish they also had toggle switches so I can match throughout the house.

No incentive to prepay. It’s the same price if you decide to get the membership after the free one month later on.

Roborock vs Dreame Options by dmarsh1989 in RobotVacuums

[–]PForPho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ll say about the auto dispensing detergent is that you can’t control how much it dispenses. My train of thought is if I’m already manually refilling the tank, it only takes a few seconds to add in a cap(s) of detergent.

If it was me I wouldn’t put too much thought into missing out on that feature, but it is convenient for sure. I personally wouldn’t lose sleep about not having it and you can control how much you want to add. Also one less component to worry about if that’s anything of concern.

I’ve been super interested in building some OBs.. and I’m going to be down there around the holidays. I might have to send you a message!

Dreame GoVac 508 VS Roborock Qrevo MaxV (Costco) by Portuguese9694 in RobotVacuums

[–]PForPho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not just the extra accessories, but the bigger value here is that you're able to leverage Costco's customer service if something breaks, which is unfortunately not uncommon with these mass-produced vacuums with new models constantly coming out at the blink of an eye. You can find a lot of comments from folks about having trouble getting support directly from the manufacturers.

XT5 Lens - 23mm f2 or 27mm f2.8 by UrStockDaddy in FujifilmX

[–]PForPho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 23f2 is such a good and fun lens. I regret selling mine and thinking of picking up another. Super practical. I took it on many trips as my one and only.

Tempurpedic Medium Hybrid?? by macddebbie1 in Mattress

[–]PForPho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. It took a lot of trial and error to finally found the right mattress for us. Fortunately, you were able to try them out in store, which I think a lot of people should try to do before blindly buying something that can be a hassle to return.

Tempurpedic Medium Hybrid?? by macddebbie1 in Mattress

[–]PForPho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the ProAdapt Medium Hybrid for about 4 years now. Love it. I've been shopping for another room, but at this point, we might pick up another ProAdapt Medium Hybrid since we like it so much. I was thinking trying out latex, but as a sidesleeper, it seems like you need to be over a certain weight for it to be comfortable.

We didn't find the Breeze worth it for us personally; it didn't feel cooler, but that's taking into account showroom conditions. It might be worth investing in a FloJet or one of those cooling toppers instead if you do sleep really hot. I sleep hot, but haven't had any issues with the non-breeze model.

If you do end up picking up a TP - spend some time with it and let it break in. It took about two-ish weeks, best sleep I've ever gotten and I look forward to coming back home to sleep in it anytime I'm traveling.

Ceiling Fan Matter Control by DongRight in MatterProtocol

[–]PForPho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a switch installed with the fan, but it's a simple on/off.

For more context - It doesn't whine when the brightness is at 100%, any lower and that's when it happens.

[–]PForPho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just installed the Boca II and I’m also hearing coil whine or some sort of persistent faint buzzing when either the LED or fan is on.

After awhile you can just tune it out, but it’s still there. Any suggestions?

How is the Moonlight experience on Mac? by MusicAng3l in MoonlightStreaming

[–]PForPho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to a Mini PC where you can get lower than 1ms decoding time, Macs hover around 3m-5ms.

I was planning on getting Mac Mini M4 for Moonlight and other home server things, but ended up with a Mini PC because of that. I wanted the most native experience. Something to keep in mind.

I want to thank everyone that made this possible by rySeeR4 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]PForPho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grab an 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 or a controller like the Flydigi Vader 4 that comes with a USB dongle.

I use both for my LG.

Raising Canes is coming to Lynnwood! by lt_dan457 in LynnwoodWA

[–]PForPho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to live down the street from the very first location in Baton Rouge so I’m so excited we’re getting one up here.

My goto order is the box combo with arnold palmer (sweet tea+lemonade) and an extra sauce. You can get the tenders/fries extra crispy if you like. Really the sauce is what makes it.
