I bought one for $89.99 and it works so well that my hairs didn’t grow back after two weeks of use, it’s a bargain and really worth a try!

It’s an old design. Patents don’t last forever. That patent ended in 1966. So now anyone can make a rolling knife sharpener. Including Horl, Tumbler, Worksharp, or any other company. You should use the Internet to research sometime, instead of making uneducated comments about stuff you don’t know about.

]]> Comment on Chargeasap Zeus 270W GaN USB-C Charger review – “World’s first and smallest 270W GaN USB-C Charger” by Randy chan https://the-gadgeteer.com/2023/01/06/chargeasap-zeus-270w-gan-usb-c-charger-review-worlds-first-and-smallest-270w-gan-usb-c-charger/#comment-8009340 Tue, 10 Oct 2023 20:52:20 +0000 https://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=377830#comment-8009340 Even without having owned chargeasap’s flagship Zeus 270w charger, I think I can say it’s a great charger to have if you have multiple power hungry devices and want them charged asap. You see, I’m the proud owner of chargessap’s former flagship charger, the omega 200w with 4 ports which is small, lightweight, easily portable and allows 2 plug in positions. I’ve owned it now for 3 months and it’s performed great and only barely gets warm when charging multiple devices simultaneously. So with that being said, you could say the Zeus is everything the omega is and quite a bit more since in addition to having all of omega’s wonderful features I listed, the Zeus also has 270w total, a 140w port capability and LED charging display all this while being virtual identical in size and weight vs the lesser powered omega 200w charger that’s already a great charger itself.

It’s like a traditional docking station for your computer but with special speakerphone-like features that can be used in virtual mtg apps like Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc. along with AI ChatGPT voice to text transcription.

What is it docking? How “hi”? Why have HDMI connections for something that does NOT ingest or outputs video?

Is it a new kind of “spider” that you see in meeting rooms for calling other meeting rooms?

]]> Comment on Mophie Powerstation Pro AC portable power bank review by Jason Ortiz https://the-gadgeteer.com/2023/05/23/mophie-powerstation-pro-ac-portable-power-bank-review/#comment-8009266 Tue, 10 Oct 2023 14:47:06 +0000 https://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=390793#comment-8009266 Their Powerstation Pro XL has 25,000mAh and 3 USB-C ports: 100W, 45W, and 20W. Combined output is 120W and it has no fan. It’s half the weight and it’s way smaller. It’s also the same price and it came before the Pro AC.

Why must the AC be double the size for only 2,000 mAh more and 20W more max output?

It does. It comes with a little instructions booklet which clearly states the charge and expected run time from full charge. 2 hour charge estimated, with a full hour of run time.

]]> Comment on Bwine F7GB2 4K drone review – not bad if you can get it on sale by Frank Jack Fiamingo https://the-gadgeteer.com/2023/10/01/ruko-bwine-f7gb2-4k-drone-review-not-bad-if-you-can-get-it-on-sale/#comment-8009112 Mon, 09 Oct 2023 21:03:34 +0000 https://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=405707#comment-8009112 Thank you for posting this. I purchased the Bwine F7GB2 as my first drone. I am impressed with how sturdy it is. I knocked it around pretty badly on my first few flights and landings (purely pilot error). I didn’t buy it for the camera, so I am not disappointed. Perhaps they will sell a camera upgrade at some point. I really think this is a great drone for a beginner who wants to learn how to fly. The beginner mode is a real life saver. I still have a great deal to learn, but I am enjoying myself.

It is a cheap copy of the HORL sharpener, which is supposed to be protected by patent. Certain countries don’t recognize patients from elsewhere in the world, so we wind up with copies of other people’s work.

]]> Comment on XREAL Beam review – 3 new modes and great connectivity for your XREAL AIR glasses by Howard Sneider https://the-gadgeteer.com/2023/10/07/xreal-beam-review-3-new-modes-and-great-connectivity-for-your-xreal-air-glasses/#comment-8009021 Mon, 09 Oct 2023 13:08:59 +0000 https://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=406143#comment-8009021 In reply to Bob.

Thank you for your input. I have found that if the beam is connected to a DP signal over powered USB then the beam can work and charge at the same time. Wireless mode is problematic for gaming but will work fine for movies and web browsing.

]]> Comment on XREAL Beam review – 3 new modes and great connectivity for your XREAL AIR glasses by Bob https://the-gadgeteer.com/2023/10/07/xreal-beam-review-3-new-modes-and-great-connectivity-for-your-xreal-air-glasses/#comment-8009013 Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:40:15 +0000 https://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=406143#comment-8009013 Reviewers and Reddit to date have indicated a few important things…
1. It is impossible to charge the Bean while using it in wired mode
2. Even XReal says wireless mode is not recommended due to problems
3. The software updates sometimes cause things to break, and the progress for Nebula and Beam is really slow.

Personally I don’t have a pair of XReals, and maybe won’t even jump on the gen 2 glasses already available in China and coming soon elsewhere. But when they are stable enough to use for desktop monitors as a coder, I’m probably all in.

Currently it sounds like the glasses seem to be good for watching movies using a device with good battery and USB C DP alt mode. Or a couple handheld game devices like steam deck. But otherwise, approach with caution. My recommendation is to read Reddit threads before buying.

(My goal here is not to criticize, but I think both XReal and your readers will save money and time if they know what they are getting into. If you have the right use case, these may work well. I don’t have hands on experience so take my advice with a grain of salt.)

“It looks like it has an amazing finish and I can just imagine how hefty it would feel in my hand.”
