Looking for device that enables screen mirroring on a non smart tv.

I would like to do screen mirroring, but my tv is not a smart tv and I don't want to get an android tv box. Are there any devices that can be plugged into your phone or tv that would allow me to cast videos and sound? I have a bluetooth transmitter that allows me to connect my headphones to my tv and am looking for something along those lines that would also share videos. Any recommendations? I like being able to control videos with my phone rather than some other device like an android tv box.

Space Heaters for 110V, 15 Amps Outlets

Hi everyone,

I live in Boston, where winter temperatures can drop as low as 5°F. My baseboard heaters are causing me severe allergies, even though I clean them regularly. My landlord isn't much help, and my current electric radiator is using too much power, causing issues with the outlets.

Can anyone recommend a good heater that’s efficient, allergy-friendly, and safe for my electrical setup?

Thanks in advance

Any recommendations for great touchscreen gloves that are either specifically made to keep hands cool/cold, or are just really terribly bad at keeping warm?

I overheat, and my hands sweat. Makes using my phone a struggle. Every pair of gloves I've seen so far just brag about how warm they will keep you and frankly I'd prefer to not be swimming in my gloves if at all possible.

Best 2024 bed sheet set

I'm sick of buying overpriced stuff from the big box stores that's ultimately dissapointing, and I want to treat myself to something a bit nicer than the Kirkland brand - although they are very nice for the price. I have tried the Amazon roulette of all the claimed 1000 TC bedsheets that feel terrible and rip after 6 months. No more of that.

There are many specialty brands and options out there, so I wanted to come here for some insight. I know this has been asked before, but fresh recommendations are nice to have. It's a bonus if it's easily accessible in Canada online or in a store.

I'm not a huge fan of really silky satin finishes, but otherwise, I'm pretty open. I tend to prefer a soft and cozy feel. I am a warm sleeper, so some cooling characteristics would be nice but not required. No need for duvet covers, just a queen sheet set. A reputable company with solid customer service would be nice too.

I want this set to last me for a long time, so I am prepared to spend upwards of 350$ CAD or more if it's worth it. I want to look forward to getting into bed each night.

TIA

Draught excluders

Last year I read they save on heating bills so I bought a few draught excluders on eBay... It's got so much more filling than the one I bought from the shops last year and was half the price so I thought I'd share it here.... They're UK based so if your not from UK you will have to have a look around but I got mine from

Halfday premium garment bag review 1 year update

Hello all bag enthusiasts I have been using the halfday garment bag for a year now and I have to say it has been holding up wonderfully. No issues with bringing it as carry on, zippers all holding strong even with heavy use as I am not exactly gentle with my luggage when traveling. The premium bag is made of a heavy duty material that is water resistant which I found out after spilling a water cup on it on accident during a layover and luckily nothing inside got wet. Able to fit a full suit, a dress, 2 pairs of shoes and a weeks worth of clothes. It has survived being in stow away as I’ve been on flights where over head compartment space is limited and being boarding group 5 doesn’t always save me unfortunately and no issues with the zipper opening up on me or anything. The zipper does have a spot for a tsa lock which I ended up buying as I wasn’t prepared for my bag getting nabbed at the gate on our one trip a few months back so it’s good to keep one in one of the many storage pockets this bag has. I’ll post a link bellow for 20% off if anyone is interested in purchasing since we all enjoy a good deal. I believe I covered everything but if you have any questions regarding the bag write me a comment and I’ll try to get back to you asap.

Good no-slip mats and rugs that can be wiped clean?

I've got hardwood floors with a sunken living space so it's one step up. My elderly dogs have accidents but need the traction. I've got machine washable rugs now but it'd be so much faster to just spray and wipe. Everything I buy ends up being extremely slippery plastic or something you have to tape down. I want to be able to wipe both sides. Idk if this exists.

Thank you!

Walmart Subscription is great for saving money 💰 (canada 🇨🇦)

Hey the Walmart subscription/delivery pass in canada 🇨🇦 is just $8.97 and worth very penny

For that u get to buy groceries for whole month delivered to your door, u just have to order 5 hours in advance and the minimum order value has to be $35. You can even order in advance for some other day delivery. You can check for rollback offers and flyers. Plus best think Is u only order the stuff u need.

The only thing I hate is they sometimes won't have something and you will get whatever substitute that think is good. But u can be refund for that stuff.

LMK if someone has some special offers or coupons related to it for me. 👍🏻

Best portable DVD/blu-ray player

I live in a house with two roommates and we have a living room with a tv and dvd/blu-ray play but obviously that space is shared so if one person wants to watch something on it it’s sort of a first dibs situation which works fine most of the time. I don’t have the space for a tv in my room (well if I moved a lot of stuff around I would but I’d rather not) so I’ve been considering getting a small portable dvd player that either has a screen of its own or can be connected to my laptop and play through there. I know a lot of these players don’t support blu-ray so I’m okay if I get one that doesn’t but would appreciate one that does (I only have a few blu-rays so it wouldn’t be a huge issue). I’d prefer the price stay around $50 or less but if there’s a really good deal on a blu-ray/dvd player that’s a bit more than that I’d be willing to consider it. It doesn’t have to be crazy high quality, I just want to be able to watch some of my dvds in my room sometimes :)

Trying to develop a tool to help people save money on Amazon - need feedback!

Hey (: First and foremost, it’s the first functional version, and it’s also the first thing I’ve ever developed.

Let's start with a short story -
My wife wanted to buy an SD card for my son’s Nintendo Switch.
She ended up purchasing a Sandisk SD card with Nintendo branding.

The difference compared to a regular Sandisk SD card? Nothing.
The price? Exactly double.

How many people fall for this?
On the other hand, what if it wasn’t compatible with the Nintendo Switch? How can you know for sure?

So I decided to create a simple solution:
Before hitting that “purchase” button, pause for a second.
Share the product URL, and it’ll help you make the right choice.
I joined this group for you to help me make it a better tool so I need feedback!

Thoughts on My New Backpacking Bag?

I’m planning a trip with my boyf and upgraded my backpacking gear. I got a 40L Kathmandu carry-on trolley that’s only 1.6kg and made from 93% recycled nylon. I’m liking the features, but not sure if I made the right choice. Has anyone used this bag? Any potential issues I should be aware of, or did I miss something? Would love to hear your thoughts!

why would a LED bulb at Walmart costs 10x more than IKEA?

I recently had to replace an IKEA LED bulb with E17 base and R14 reflector. It seemed like a commodity item, at 5 bucks.

Going to an IKEA would take me a long time, so I found a similar bulb the Walmart across the street from me (here and here). It costs almost 10 times as much!

Walmart is known more for catering to the masses while IKEA has reputation as being relatively more upscale (not upscale in the absolute sense). This price disparity is surprising, and I'm wondering what could possibly explain such a huge difference.

I'm in Canada.

Afternote: Weird. The bulb that became very dim has returned to normal again. It wasn't due to shaking or anything. I just returned to my desk and it was fine, despite being not fine for days. I've heard of incandescent bulbs getting bright again when the filament got jostled, but I can find no mention of this for LED bulbs. After-afternote: Oh well, that run of revived good operation lasted about 2 days. Then it went back to bad (dim). Looks like it's time to get the replacement.

Space heater with thermostat

I live in a one bedroom duplex that has baseboard heaters with no thermostat. It can be turned on or off but that's it.

I would like to buy a space heater than can sense the temperature in the house and turn itself on or off accordingly. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good brand that you bought and were satisfied with? It would be to heat a medium sized room.

I've been looking on amazon but everything I've seen so far has mixed reviews.

Should I Buy It? Is It Worth the Recommendation?

A few days ago, I saw someone mention in this sub that the Jackery 1000 V2 has a great Black Friday discount. I’ve been thinking about updating my camping gear, and I noticed the price has dropped even further recently. It’s now $349, which is around 56% off the original price. Has anyone here used this product? I think this is the lowest price ever? Would love to hear your thoughts before I pull the trigger!

I want a bowl, food-safe or food-unsafe, that looks cool in some way.

I need something to hold loose clips in my kitchen, like ten of them. That's my only requirement. Please recommend me a bowl that would make guests say, "hmm, that's an interesting bowl."

Got an IPL device or waxing set in black Friday season for my hairy body?

So, I have considered buying an at home hair removal device for a while. Recently I just use razor but it seems to be useless for me. Now I’m thinking about trying waxing or an IPL device. Waxing’s cheaper but temporary, IPL’s pricier but might last longer. Help me decide!
