Has anyone bought home gym equipment since coronavirus?

What kind of routine have you been doing? Thinking about picking up some of these in the meantime while I wait for my gym to reopen.

Finally getting a coffee maker, after 46 years on this planet.

French presses are neat and make very good coffee. It takes longer though since you do have to boil water or heat water to a certain temperature... Plus, you have to make sure you have coarse grounds otherwise, you'll be having a lazy man's Turkish coffee (grounds in the coffee). If you ever...

Man, I don't have a Facebook account! Looks like I have to sign up for a junk one... Thanks for the tip!

Anyone know a good place to sell old HA gear? Moved away from Wink and Z-wave, and I need somewhere to offload this stuff!

What do you do for work, anandtech offtopic folks?

Any tips on renovating hardwood that was installed in the 50-60s? Floor looks decent, but it needs sanded/stained of course. Also, what do you do when there are slight gaps in-between boards? Are you supposed to put in some kind of filler?

Anyone have the Nest Hello? I'm looking to get that as it seems like it would meet all of my needs, and I've seen deals on it for around $150.

Inexpensive cordless weed trimmer

I know that feeling.. I did the same when I was researching what battery powered mower/trimmer I wanted to go with. At first, I was leaning towards Kobalt's 80v lineup, but I ended up going with the EGO Power 56v self-propelled mower and carbon fiber trimmer. They both are incredible tanks and...

Ego self-propelled vs Kobalt self-propelled

Which does everyone recommend? With the discounts going on at Dollar General for Lowe’s gift cards, I’ve been thinking about picking up the 80v Kobalt mower and trimmer. From what I’ve read, the Ego is slightly better, but it would be more expensive. I’m trying to minimize expenditures of...

So any Xbox live deals lately?

Here you go! https://slickdeals.net/f/10543420-12-month-microsoft-xbox-live-gold-membership-email-delivery-40-61-gamesdeal?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo Edit: On second thought, maybe wait only because it looks like that may not be a good deal. Apparently, they're reselling Brazillian codes...

From what I'm reading, did I make the wrong choice to go with a Wink Hub 2 instead of a SmartThings hub?

Feed reader for iOS

Not that is awful per se, but I just don't find the interface as appealing as Google Reader was. It was simplistic. The mobile app was clean and straight forward as well. I don't like how Feedly handles when I read an article, mark an article as read, or even want to view previous articles. To...

Feed reader for iOS

Hello there, I've recently moved back over to iOS, and I'm getting sick of my RSS reader, Feedly. Ever since Google Reader closed down, I've never cared for the interface Feedly has given me. Can someone recommend one for iOS that is a similar RSS reader to Google Reader? The catch is that I...

The Wink home automation thread

Just got my Wink Hub 2. I have one Caseta dimmer installed in my dining room, and it works great. Reason I went with it is because I don't have a neutral wire in my dining room. I'm planning on upgrading my front porch, but I'm not sure how I want to go about it. I do want to get a smart...

Buzzing/Humming from light fixture with LEDs?

Did you update the dimmer? I'm not entirely sure on the specifics, but from what I've researched, LEDs do not work with incandescent dimmer switches.

Plaster over.... ?

That's all? Fair enough. We didn't do that when we painted our kitchen, and well, it needs repainted. I don't want to make the same mistake in the other rooms we're ripping wallpaper from. We're actually using one of those clothing steamers. Works out quite nice actually. Thanks for the...
