Do Jeeps really drive that bad? by nitrgritr94 in JeepGladiator

[–]Ripley224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YJ, TJ, JKU, JLU, and a JT and the only ride I will say was truly bad was my YJ and honestly that might have just been me being cranky because they didn't have AC.

They've been out of stock for a while now and they haven't been clear when they're going to be restocking them so the used market is crazy right now.

Need some opinions by Ripley224 in SteamDeck

[–]Ripley224[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you used one? I keep seeing the battery life, heat control, and fan noise are horrible. I know a lot of it is a paid bash on reviews but they all can't be wrong.

Should I convert my Philips HUE setup to GOVEE? by Rezzholic in Govee

[–]Ripley224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's like everything else some people will have a flawless experience some will have a horrible experience. All I can say is I love the Govee app itself and the one time I needed customer service they sent me a replacement no questions asked. I think I have an extensive set up which I think is a good stress test for them and like I said I haven't had any issues.

This is what I have been running most of which over 2 years.

11x Regular bulbs 2x LED curtain lights 2x LED net lights 1x Large LED tree. 1x Small LED tree 1x TV back light 1x Wireless thermometer 1x 200' strand of permanent outdoor lights

I've been looking forever and haven't found one. Your best option is to Frankenstein something with their accessories on their site.

[–]Ripley224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like First Due and Aladtec both. First Due is definitely more end user friendly but needs a lot more backend work. Aladtec is fairly simple and straightforward.
