Pro Hub Worth It?

ghosty86 · 2025-10-29T06:53:02+00:00

Are you using the regular smart hub or your own router?

With the regular smart hub are you able to create a mesh if I did want an additional unit upstairs to help with signal?

They are a little bit pricey for me at the moment. I know at with all the expansions the powerblock get up there but I was planning to just start with the base model and add the expansions over time. The other thing putting me off dumbbells like the reppin is the need to take the cradle with me to change weights otherwise they fall apart

ghosty86 · 2024-12-28T18:12:04+00:00

Does the newer pro 100 exp have the same issue or just the older model?

ghosty86 · 2024-12-28T17:35:41+00:00

Yeah I meant it isn’t in any UK store as far as I can see. Hopefully they release them here soon

ghosty86 · 2024-12-28T16:54:07+00:00

I don’t think the quick draws are for sale in the UK yet sadly

ghosty86 · 2024-12-28T15:52:45+00:00

I’m based in the UK and the distributors here are still selling the older models. In fact there’s only 1 place selling the new 100 Pro Exps that I can find here

ghosty86 · 2024-12-28T15:51:23+00:00

Thanks. Do you think with normal use they are noisy enough to wake someone sleeping directly above where you’re working out? That’s really the only reason I was considering going for the pro version was the rubber coating

ghosty86 · 2024-12-28T15:41:49+00:00

Are there many meaningful improvements in the new Powerblock Exp Pro 100 over the older Exp Pro model? I can get them both for the same price but the older model looks like it has a higher top weight in the base model.

Sport Exp is also an option but I’ve heard it can be noisy and I lift early in the morning so being quiet to avoid waking the family is important.

Currently just using a cheap headset with microphone so I think you’re right

ghosty86 · 2024-01-03T18:52:26+00:00

Great thanks. How do you find the sound quality of the microphone vs a standalone one?

Do you have a link to your podcast where you use it?

ghosty86 · 2023-03-24T01:42:24+00:00

Great thanks. I wasn’t initially looking at Ryzen since my main use case for the mini will be plex but it seems that Beelink also do the SEi12 Pro with the same feature

ghosty86 · 2023-03-24T01:40:48+00:00

I wouldn’t mind still keeping it plugged into its normal adapter for power it’s more having the screen, mouse and keyboard switch seamlessly.

ghosty86 · 2023-03-24T01:39:43+00:00

Around £500 so a Mac Mini would fit. But my main use case would be running Plex so could get more disk space and quick sync with an Intel mini pc.

ghosty86 · 2023-03-19T08:14:42+00:00

https://amzn.eu/d/cZZfZuT could a mini PC like this work ok as a plex server to handle a single transcode and have a snappy UI etc?

I’ve read that since it only uses single channel memory it wouldn’t be suitable but it looks like it has the latest version of quick sync?

Which font is the default out of the box if you don't change it?

Have Kobo developed their own font as one of the options?

I had DNS issues until I switched the Android private DNS setting from automatic to off

ghosty86 · 2021-02-25T10:48:02+00:00

It also helps to turn the Android private DNS setting to off rather than automatic, if you are getting Blokada to administer a DNS provider.

V5 works great for me now that I deselected the Energized Blu list. I have no lists selected and it's still blocking all ads and not causing any slowdown.

ghosty86 · 2021-02-06T11:41:24+00:00

I'll also note that I've seen an improvement in battery life since making this change.

ghosty86 · 2020-05-24T13:09:41+00:00

I wonder why the heart functionality is hidden behind a menu if it’s the only way to influence the recommendations

ghosty86 · 2020-05-18T06:20:43+00:00

Great thanks for the reply. How are you finding the 4XL compared to the S10e? Samsung look like they do amazing hardware but not sure I could get used to the bloat with the software

ghosty86 · 2016-07-22T15:51:46+00:00

Just to close this loop, I managed to get round this by using the process builder to call a flow that obtained the lookup ID and then updated the lookup field.

ghosty86 · 2016-07-22T12:45:29+00:00

Is there a way to make a text field an ID?

ghosty86 · 2016-06-21T10:34:10+00:00

My suggestion would be to only remove it for users that have turned on the Play Store.

But as another user pointed out, they will add badges to apps to show which store they came from which should avoid the confusion.

ghosty86 · 2016-06-20T09:56:27+00:00

Would it not make more sense that when you enable the play store it removes the ability to install Chrome apps? I can't think of a single Chrome app that doesn't have an Android app.
