I have this one and it owns, goes down to $80 sometimes http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-996-...rds=harmony+hub You set up the hub and then configure your devices and up to 6 "activities" where it turns on the devices and switches to the proper inputs, I have: Cable box Apple TV 4 port HDMI switcher with 360, PS4, Chromecast, extra HDMI cable for connecting the laptop or whatever and can access each of these activities at the push of a button, also can control everything using either the remote or the app, it controls everything even the cheap monoprice switcher no problem and the hub comes with two IR dongle thingies if you want to hide any devices in cabinets.

kinmik posted:I'm looking for a large drinking container, preferably one with a handle, dishwasher safe, and an easily securable cap. I emphasize "large" because my husband goes through insane amounts of water a day. The one he's currently using is about 2 liters, but the opening is tiny and mildew tends to grow inside easily. Please to help? Doesn't have a handle but I use one of these and it's great, really easy to wash because it unscrews at the middle. http://www.coolgearinc.com/entertaining/large-swing-top-bottle.html

or 39dollarglasses.com I have bought from all 3 sites and they're all pretty much the same. I bought $50 tinted prescription aviators from them and I still use them all the time. I also have some sport goggles that have been good but I don't remember from which site I got them.

Dick Trauma posted:Yes! You want some Thirsty Stone sandstone coasters. My mom bought me a set in the '90s and they're only now worn enough to need replacing. They soak up condensation and they'll never stick to your glass. Goddamn I'm buying new ones right now because of you. These own btw, had to stack two to handle my ridiculous massive ice water bottle but still way better than anything else I have tried

I have a Zojirushi Mr Bento that I use to take my lunch to work, it's awesome but I wish it had a couple more containers for morning and afternoon snacks. Does such a thing exist? Basically I want the same thing, but taller with at least two more containers.

Logitech and Altec Lansing make the best computer speakers, I don't think you can go wrong with either brand for "cheap and decent".

I've been using this one for a few months and it's great Lots of adjustability and very spacious. It's not 100% waterproof but I have used it in quite heavy tropical rain with minimum leaking and zero leaking in the laptop pocket. Ignoring the 'lol tacticool' name/description it's a great bag for the (low) price.

My favorite headphones for commuting are my Sennheiser mm100 http://en-us.sennheiser.com/bluetooth-headset-stereo-mm-100 I have had this pair forever and they don't make them anymore so if they break I'll be sad, also sucks when I forget to charge them because I hate wired headphones for commuting. Any recommendations on a similar pair? It's surprisingly hard to look for behind the neck bluetooth headphones that don't seem like cheap garbage.

Seconding TravelPro, I've had this one (Crew 9) for years and it still looks like new after 9 or so trips. I also have a bigger version that I check in and it's also like new, while most other luggage I've had falls apart after 3 or 4 trips at most. As for laptop bags I am using a Chrome Soma bag that is perfect for a 15" Macbook and holds a bunch of other stuff, the sling style strap is really comfortable and reliable. I know it's not really the style you're asking for, but it's an option that I recommend. It's also pretty good about handling heavy rain, no snow here so I haven't tested that.

Trackpads are way better than trackballs for me, but that is up to personal preference. Also they're not really good for games. what I do is have a trackpad for regular usage/work and keep a mouse for when I want to play Civ or something.

couldcareless posted:Looking for an affordable but reliable light switch I can set on a time based activation. This will be used for porch lights outside our house. I'm looking to have them turn on at dusk and off at dawn. I have the phillips smart bulbs for that purpose, might be easier than setting up a switch.

couldcareless posted:A bit more costly though. Does philips have smart bulbs that are resilient enough for outside? The fixtures are in an enclosure, so they aren't directly in elements, but it's not climate controlled by any stretch $50 for the hub + two bulbs vs $30 for the switch posted above. Thinking about it setting up a light switch is not really difficult so yeah, definitely better for your use case since non-smart led bulbs are dirt cheap. Phillips smart bulbs work well enough outside in my experience, I have one in my balcony and it's still going strong.

martinlutherbling posted:I think this is probably a strange request, but can anyone recommend a good mono IEM/earbud? Do they even make really good ones? My girlfriend is deaf in one ear, and as a result when she uses normal stereo headphones she only gets one half of whatever she’s listening to. I would spend up to like $75, but preferably less. Posted in the headphone thread as well, but I figure this is esoteric enough that I’d post here too. Depending on why she's deaf in one ear, I hear those bone conduction headphones can help. I read the other day that since they "send" the sound directly to the inner ear, they are good for people who are deaf or hard of hearing due to eardrum injuries. Might be full of poo poo though, I haven't done any proper research about it.

I just have them scheduled and my routine is consistent enough that I almost never need to open the Hue app. One drawback though is that if you have a power outage in the middle of the night, when the power comes back all your Hue bulbs will be on at 100%. Has happened only a couple times to me so it's not a huge deal, but I didn't expect it to work that way for some reason.

I don't think the app itself should be region locked, but might be on the roku. Amazon video streams fine on my fire stick here in Costa Rica, some of the actual content is region locked but the device/app aren't.
