Bought an air purifier, it was supposed to have a sensor and you could put it on auto.
It's clearly wrong lol, PM2.5 shows 001 which is unrealistically clean and it says it's 27c in the room which is just impossible I even think it's a bit cold atm.
Even tried spraying some deodorant in front of it and nothing, it only changed to like 005 and went back to 001 after a few seconds after I opened and closed the door.

I looked into it and saw someone else from Sweden too who had contacted support and they said that it's basically working as intended, and that the sensors just aren't very sensitive they're designed for China and other countries with poor air quality...
I feel a bit scammed lol.
It's a good purifier it's just sad that the sensor doesn't work and you have to use the app to manually change the speed.
But I dunno if I even believe the explanation because the temp and humidity is very clearly wrong.
I am pondering whether to return it and get something else or just keep it, the control thing is really my only issue outside of that and dunno if I can even get one with a sensor for auto-mode for that price I got it on when it was on sale.

During the pandemic while trying to adhere to mask regulations for various stores, the strap on my mask caught my glasses in a way where the mask broke the earpiece off of one side of the glasses.

No problem. Some tape, some glue, and it held for quite a long time. Well, eventually that tape and glue adhesive melted and I haven't been able to get the earpiece to stay on. Ok, whatever, the glasses stay on my face. No problem, just be careful.

Took my glasses off casually last night and the other ear piece snapped off... They will still sit on my face, but if I tilt my head forward they easily fall off. Gotta get new glasses. *sigh* I wish I'd gone in on a back up pair, but this has never happened to me before.

Sticking to metal frames from now on. Not unbreakable, but at least I shouldn't be losing the dang ear pieces.

Ah yes, glasses. I've been dealing with them since I was 6 years old - a genetic problem of severe myopia I've had since birth - and they've always broken at the choicest moments for me. They'll withstand accidental whacks off the bed, somebody sitting on them... but they'll casually shatter mid-school lesson because they got lightly booped (happened to me when I was 15 years old). I'm quite literally blind without them so I suffer if I keep a pair for too long.

Hope you'll be alright.

I have a plastic frame that somehow endured me since 2016 now, which is a feat. Hope you'll get new ones easily Vyrerus, since a trip to the optician can be a real pain...

I've had the same issue with plastic ones. Although I am trialling contact lenses soon, which I hope will be an improvement. Getting them out is apparently easy... still not too sold on how easy they are to put in, though.

The worst glasses I've ever had were rimless ones.

Ugh, the humid heat of summer begins again. And this area for whatever reason does not have a public pool, with the nearest one being on a military base 60 miles away. Apparently they want everybody to die of heat stroke or dehydration.

Sometimes I still wonder about my discord mates.

Damn, I didn't expect Johnny Depp to win his lawsuit at all.
I expected them both to lose tbh.

All it'd take is one person in the jury being all like '' nah, hashtag belieb all womenz ''.
That trial was wild tho.
There certainly was stuff that didn't make Johnny Depp look good, at the same time tho...
The context should be kept in mind that he had to live with a horrible and abusive person like that it's not too strange that he'd be pushed into having some bad moments.
Doesn't seem like he was like that at all in his past relationships either while Heard had issue with that and also just with people in general not liking her.

[RyuDragnier]

I forgot that trial was going on, I tune out celebrity stuff the majority of the time.
