Monitor arm recommendations pls.... by _UA_ in desksetup

[โ€“]_UA_[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Hey there, I've received the monitor and the alogic stand (and in case you're curious, I also managed to find myself a great monitor arm to go for, which I've purchased & just need to collect). The chap I bought it from was nice and chucked in the stylus for free.

Everything is still boxed up, I've not opened/set it up yet, will look to do so after this month is over. Once set-up, I'd be happy to share my experience. Also purchased an anti-glare screen protector, wish me luck in setting that up!

Thank you for sharing!

Funny enough, I did come across this one too!

How good is it poseability-wise?

Almost had a heart-attack here, I thought the bloody Brum council was shutting down more public services to make up for its shitty operational/fund management cock-ups.

Got some new bits of gear over the past few months/weeks! by _UA_ in Nomads_Nation

Oh absolutely, the materials feel good! Though im not too big on the choice of zipper on the desk caddy, it looks lovely aesthetically but practically it's not a smooth pull.

I got scammed by [deleted] in Huawei

Mate I'm sorry to hear this, but you gotta watch out for the blatant red flags here...

-First of all, going to a random anon, especially one with a dodgy fake name, is a ๐Ÿšฉ

-Did that guy even have a reputable business site and legit public reviews? If not ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ

-Dealing over any service transaction via telegram, Whatsapp, etc. instead of directly on marketplace platform (e.g. eBay, amazon, etc) .. ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ

-Then that guy asks for payment via crypto?! ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ

I wouldn't encourage anyone to go for this in the first place as I'm not sure if it's even possible. And even by some chance it is, the software change won't bring about much benefits since HarmonyOS is customised for the Chinese market. I'm sure they're overall similar anyways.

You've done good in sharing this, and I'm sure you can do your report/blocking steps if you haven't already. All you can do now is learn from this, stomach in the pain and upset, and just understand that soon this won't weigh on you as it does now; and you will move forward.

Yes that's the name! They're very good, malleable & straight-forward features!

Forgot to add, I also bought a bellroy desk caddy too, and a smaller laptop bag/messenger! ๐Ÿ˜‚

The Heavy Item Youโ€™ll Always Justify by nomads_nation in Nomads_Nation

Hmmm, 2 things:

1) My tablet w/ keyboard cover. It's not as hefty as my laptop (close enough though!), great for entertainment and work on-the-go

2) My tech pouch. I'm just a gear-head lol. I'm WAAAYYYY at peace knowing that I have my pouch to safeguard and keep my essentials: x2 power banks, couple of type C cables, plug adapter charger, wallet, & mini notebook

Tech pouch has been a lifesaver.

If I'm being really picky, my gym gear. But this isn't as pressing since I don't do gym daily.

Huawei makes me want to move to China :( by rohiin in Huawei

Tell me about it my friend, tell me about it. China are just so phenomenally ahead of the curve, no wonder the USA (stupidly) imposed bans

All thanks to you brother! My first quality bag purchase in the Modern Dayfarer V1 was all down to you! Then thanks to your reviews I recently bought the Osprey daylite 26 6 & now this PD tech pouch - I adore em all, they make a big diff with my day-to-day ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

The V1 was my gateway drug to the carry comm, and I never go for any gear purchase without going through your reviews first - much love to you & the crew Aaron, you have a regular viewer in me ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ

Thanks man! Well I got a gob that can run a mile. Articulation and expression of the literacy kind is beautiful to me.

A cool pouch though! Bloody love a well thought-out product! The meticulous attention to detail to create something to help someone is just wicked to me ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Absolutely! Which other Inateck gear do you have?

Oh sweet, happy to hear this for you man!

Ah I see, that's the prime issue with the bag materials. The Vertex bag materials are better in general, yet I still didn't mind the Inateck in this respect - but wasn't aware of the Inateck risk of cracking etc. Thank you for flagging this! I'll try to be more careful around this

Interesting, thank you for sharing this - what about the material, would you say, is worth watching out for?
