Anyone use these Fitbit things? Are they any good, reliable, accurate?

The bottom line is cost, the more you spend 'should' get you a product which records quality data, an app which is well written and the user can understand it. Loads of reviews out there on YT and in the press.
I like the Garmin Virofit for many reasons, first and foremost it's waterproof, how Fitbit thought it was okay to produce a product which was not is beyond me . The batteries last for roughly six months, cheap to replace, so no recharging issues etc.....

Cant afford iphone or top of range Samsungs so looking at Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/global-version-xiaomi-redmi-note-4-qualcomm-3gb-32gb-mobile-phone-snapdragon-625-2695398?page=9#comments

Any electroncs experts? Old Philips AK601 CD player wih drawer that will bot open, but will auto close after manually pulled out. Only one limit switch which seems to work when tested for continuity. Belt in good condition. Motor pulses for a few seconds when open pressed then stops. Reached limit to my capabilities.

Fitted new belt and drive gear but cd player still not opening, will close after manually pulling open and cd will play. Motor is still operating trying to close. Only one limit switch which is fully pressed either when fully open or closed. Tested limit switch with meter and seems to operate as normal.

"If he wants to prove he's a man, we should do it out of the car face-to-face" yeah saw that, proper made me laugh. Love to see that one in the car park behind the pits. Hair pulling at dusk! I still maintain Vet should have just admitted he was too close and misjudged it. This isn't an insurance claim, just admit you got it wrong.

Is this forum using adequate method(s) to prevent bots signing up, as recently there seems to be an increase in spam?

Second ebay Floureon supplier cancelled due to no stock. They all say come from Southall UK but address in China. Refuns come from same name, Better.

I've had a DHL parcel sitting at UK customs for 7 days and no info. I think I will have to pay duty as over £135, guess we have to thank Brexit for these delays.

Anyone used a forwarding agent? I want a part from USA but they wont ship to UK, so thought a forwarding agent like stackry could be an option. Part is 30USD.

Speed awareness course booked, they are very popular it seems. Nice cash cow perhaps.

you do realise that if you get 12 points (I think) you get banned, its not the highest points win you know:)
You only get offered a SAC every 3 years, if you get caught again, instant fine no option.
I think they are trying to tell you that if you didnt listen, then have a fine.
Quite interesting tbh, depends who you get, as some are dull as dishwater, we had a bloke who was like a stand up comic, really enjoyed it.. cant remember what he said mind you, just slow down a bit.:)

Do they make some bricks 10x as hard on purpose? A 5 min job to out up extra shelves in man cave takes 3 times as long, half bricks are done in quickly in seconds, rest take ages. Would a SDS drill be better?

This brand from Screwfix isn't half bad and pretty cheap.
http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-enb465drh-4-8kg-sds-plus-hammer-drill-230-240v/63303
I bought a Ryobi SDS cordless as I already had batteries and charger. That's the big problem with cordless the batteries and charger can be really ££££ if you have to buy them just for one tool.

Eldest son wants new mobile. He's had Galaxy S3 for about 4 years, not in any contract. Looking at Galaxy S7. Is it best to get a sim free? He's got part time job so could get about £500 in 3 months. Contracts seem to start at £30pm for 24m with low data. I'm not into mobiles so not got any experience.

I have bought loads of SIM free phones outright before and haven't kept any of them for long.
I have a contract one now that whilst more expensive in the long run will probably save me some money as in the 2 years I have it for I would have probably bought and sold 4-6 other phones loosing a couple of hundred pounds on each one even before buying any calls or data.

I've been eyeballing s7's too not the curved screen one but the smaller one I think it's the exact same thing but screen and battery.
Looking at the ammount of smashed curved versions on ebay i think std might be more durable too.
£350 seems to be the used price on a good condition. I'm gonna wait to hear Vodafones offers tho after I say I'm leaving lol. Last time I tried to leave they gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. But was a sim deal.
£10 a month.
600 min
Unlimited texts
1gb net
100 free pic msgs
£10 free sky mobile tv
12 months.
Then decided to get phones again and they've taken alot of the deal away I only get 500mb now but I've only gone over it once.
But now I'm just sick of them hardly any signal unless I'm home. Vodafone avoided uk taxes and took eu money to support remain.
So I'm thinking about getting a giff gaff.

Any bike experts, son snapped rear derailleur shimano tx tourney 7 spd. Hinge ripped thru plastic mount. He's been riding down steps. Do I get basic shimano like TX35 or better?

When using Activity tab, it keeps showing many new updates but they are multiples/copies of same ones. This has been happening since yesterday, so some gremlins are having some fun and appears not to be only issue.

Does changing a battery connector invalidate any warranty?
- Show previous comments 2 more
-
Shouldn't do... Sellers can't expect everyone to use all the same connectors, for one thing it's not practical between huge packs and tiny packs, some people need a mini Deans and others need 8mm bullets.
As NH said, the quality of the work maybe a factor, but I've warrantied packs with different connectors on to what I bought.

Fancy something different and the Axial Yeti XLkit seems to tick the boxes.

Are all pinions same size as cant fit 16T answerrc mod1 onto shaft of Castle 2200kv so that grub screw tightens onto shaft flat and line up with spur?
- Show previous comments 1 more
-
Tried backwards but then grub screw has nothing to tighten onto. Was wondering if different makes had different teeth depth as Hyper spur is narrow. Are these pinions going to be made of cheese?...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-M1-5mm-15T-16T-17T-18T-19T-Pinion-Motor-Gear-Combo-Set-for-1-8-RC-Car-U8J3-/131785724824?hash=item1eaf0a9398:g:5YwAAOSwgn5XFExD

Unsure on the GoolRC pinnys. Might be worth a go tho at the price. To be fair their EC5 and XT90 connectors are decent quality, if anything too good. Metal decent thickness making them difficult to pull apart.
I normally use Novak hardened pinny and have also used Answer.
Could always dremmel more flat a bit further down your motor shaft.

Do all internet homeplugs create noise down mains which is picked up by radio tuner? Had a radio tuner in garage and just fitted trendnet homeplug to get internet in garage. But when on it creates interference with radio tuner. Tried a mains conditioner/RF filter and no difference. Only have one spur in garage.
