(Part 2) Best usb gadgets according to redditors

This is the advanced protection program (sorry for the shit links, on mobile):

https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/

These are the keys needed to become part of the program:

Feitian MultiPass FIDO Security Key https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYV6TQM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9m5VBbECNKD8S

FIDO U2F Security Key, Thetis [Aluminum Folding Design] Universal Two Factor Authentication USB (Type A) for Extra Protection in Windows/Linux/Mac OS, Gmail, Facebook, Dropbox, SalesForce, GitHub https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHTKFH3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Gn5VBbR3QKQ5N

> Google Titan

They suck:

• The Titan hardware is the same as Feitian MultiPass K13 and Feitian ePass NFC bundle
  
  
• The rebranded MultiPass that they're selling sucks, it uses Micro USB which is a weak and outdated connector.
  
  
• The keys are made in China by a Chinese company. If you care about this, then you're better off with Yubico or some open source vendor. I don't have a problem with Feitian though, they've been in this business for a long time.
  
  
• The MultiPass key isn't waterproof and can be popped open. The non BLE versions are sealed using epoxy and really impossible to break, just like a YubiKey. I wouldn't trust a MultiPass key as a backup. See the Amazon reviews for yourself.
  
  
• There's lots of issues with BLE, OSes even had to block pairing with insecure security keys that Google/Feitian was forced to recall.
  
  
• It's another damn device that requires charging.
  
  
• Can only be used for Google Accounts on iOS with the Smart Lock app installed. While YubiKey has made active efforts to support the 5Ci on iOS.
  
  For $50-$70, I'd probably get one of these options as a backup:
  
  
• 50-70$ -1 x YubiKey 5 series, preferably the 5Ci or another 5 NFC.
  
• 60$ - 5 x Feitian HyperFIDO Mini, to hide them in bank lockers/backpacks
  
• 60$ - 3 x Yubico Security Key, because they support FIDO2 for Azure AD/Microsoft Acccounts
  
• 60$ - 1 x Feitian BioPass, since biometrics is more secure than typing a PIN on a software keypad. Wouldn't trust it in an airport though, legally a grey area.
  
  
  I also tried GoTrustID (paid) and Krypton which are app based U2F authenticators with push notifications for verification. They act as a decent wireless software backup that works for all accounts. GoTrustID is BLE based while Krypton uses push notifications.
  
  Google currently doesn't allow using an Android phone as a BLE security key except for Google accounts (uses a proprietary protocol called CaBLE that only works on Chrome Desktop right now).
  
  I've personally found USB-C to be the most robust method on Android phones and newer laptops, it's really quick and easy. Windows 10 doesn't even show me an option to pair a Bluetooth U2F authenticator on 1903, only Chromium browser has implemented it, not the OS itself. With the YubiKey 5Ci, it should be easy to authenticate on literally any device from the last 10 years with minimal dongles, so it will be my first choice as a backup. USB-C is better than NFC for me.

I ride. 33 yrs and counting. Ever since I got my pant leg caught in my bicycle chain, tossing me off my bmx, I knew how nasty that can end.
Three solutions:
1.) I ride a Harley, so no chains anymore.
2.) This nifty little gadget or something similar
3.) DON'T START THE BIKE! The chain can be moved by rotating the rear tire manually.

Further to that - get this one specifically. https://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc-Rechargeable-Protable-Handheld-Traveling/dp/B07352KD2Y

Despite the poor spelling in the ad, this fan beats all of the larger fans I have previously bought. I have 2 now, one for work and one for home.

Here's the windows version you need.

http://www.amazon.com/Soondar%C2%AE-Creative-Spaceman-Astronaut-Flexible/dp/B00PZMCMKY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462654106&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=usb+light&psc=1

If your TV has USB ports, you can try something like this or this

This fan is LEGENDARY. I can’t believe how much air such a small fan running on such low energy can move it’s absolutely mind blowing.

https://www.amazon.com/OPOLAR-Updated-Adjustable-Portable-Personal/dp/B07K2YDF34

Foldable Anker 20+ watt solar panels in your dashboard/ back window.

With around 4-5 of them I’m able to run unlimited fans (up to 5) at a time, unlimited lights, and using my tablet 14 hours a day.

You put two or three in the back and the same for upfront you can even put them on your roof if you live in an Rv / van.

Even when it’s cloudy outside you can get plenty of energy when the sun is out you get up to 2.1A out of the solar panels just as much as you get out of a wall.

It really is mind blowing how convenient and storable these panels are each panel is the size of a small tablet folded.

5 panels + 5-7 20,000 mah packs, have the usb cables running from the panels to your packs, switch out dead packs for fresh ones as needed.

The more battery packs you have the better I’d say up to 10 is great, the Anker ones with double inputs are great, although I stick to a pure usb c set up. (Double input 26800 mah ones are using micro usb still)

Amazon US and Amazon Canada.

Edit: this is far better quality, though. It is made from a computer case fan and will likely last you longer. Amazon US or Amazon Canada

Yeah, mounting the monitor is no issue for me but the ventilation is definitely something I didn't really think about. I might mount that power brick to the back of the desk and drill some holes like you said. thanks!

Edit: Been thinking about it and I don't use the peripherals in the drawer often (hard drives just for backup every so often and the DVD drive to copy a few DVDs here and there. I think if I mount something like this fan on the underside of the drawer it may solve my issue. What do you think? https://www.amazon.com/Yoosion-Cooling-Router-Computer-Watertank/dp/B01KTG4208/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1496058326&sr=1-5&keywords=small+usb+fan

• ice.
  
  Also, go to your local grocery store or a CVS/Rite Aid a pick up the styrofoam cooler. Not worth ordering one from Amazon.

First off, congratulations! You know how the crowds will be, the waiting, and the bathroom situations, so honestly, you are already looking good there.

Last year, my wife attended and was about the same in terms of being in the first trimester (also first pregnancy). /u/housecatspeaks already has some great points about resting more. I would also recommend these mini-usb fans to keep cool: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PWD24LL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They plug into any USB port so if you have a battery pack for your phone, you can use these on there and they will move the air exactly were you need it.

One last thing, be sure to bring whatever snacks you CAN eat since my wife didn't like the smell of anything in the food courts or nearby restaurants.

It's big and bulky and if you wanted to use it off the bus, you could plug it into a USB battery.. but it's still odd to hold.

I liked the looks of it when I saw it in OPs post so I looked it up myself. The reviews have a couple videos that show its light levels fairly well! Might get the lamp myself.

Walking and standing near the shore really add to everything as well. I forgot to mention that part. Get a neck fan and you've got the perfect fishing experience. My neck fan.

• A small fan for the room. I'm not sure if mine is 4" or 6" but it looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/OPOLAR-Desktop-Powered-Personal-Cooling/dp/B01DZYUSEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493610805&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=small%2Bfan&th=1 After suiting your head can get quite wet.. set this inside the head on the table and it'll dry it out a lot faster. This is assuming you are bringing it to cons.
  
• Much more expensive... so give suiting a try a few times, but I dont suit w/o my ezcooldown anymore https://www.ezcooldown.com/
  
• Get a travel size spray bottle. Fill it with with watered down vodka or Isopropyl alcohol. Spray it on the inside the suit and head after it's done for the night. Goal is to very lightly spritz it, not drench it. It kills the bacteria that can make it smell bad between washings. Usually at a con vodka is easy to come by, which is why I mention that one.
  

It's a cute little light. I think I may buy one now.

Could you plug in a small desk fan at your work station? The extra airflow might help you out. This guy is what I'm talking about:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZYUSEA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_515wzbDQMKDBS

You're going to need a chain brush, chain cleaner and chain lube regardless. So buy them now, try clean it up and if it has no rust on, you should be good.

Chain brush


Chain cleaner (this really helps!)


I've had slight rust on a chain before on one spot, this cleaned it right up. To be completely honest, that chain looks done though. Get a new one to be on the safe side.

What about this fan? It’s almost an exact 4 inches by dimension. I bet this would work well.

Just rock this sexy-as-hell portable neck fan.

If you're cycling frozen bottles a lot then that might be an issue. It creates a lot of stress when you have temperatures going up and down very frequently. You have to think of a more permanent solution to accommodate them. I don't know if that is your problem for sure but if he's curling then that's often a sign of stress. I would also take pictures of it, show us and post to caudata.org too. They have many more people who are more knowledgeable on this stuff. I wish you the best of luck. I know something like this pointed at the top of your water helps cool it down very well. Hope this helps!

Asus routers kinda run hot...I used a USB Laptop Cooler, now my temps are 58C or less, was ~75C.

Try to cool it first, see if that helps, I am also running Merlins ASUSwrt firmware, for me, it has proved to be rock steady, I only reboot at firmware upgrades. I also only use it as an AP, so YMMV.

Just hooked it up today and it's super quiet. Hooks up via USB and I have it on the 2nd setting. Cool enough to wear a hoodie right now to be honest

> it’s often difficult or impossible to remove a hot can from a rifle without a pair of channel locks even though it’s allegedly a QD system

I rarely have trouble taking off my specwar, it's usually no harder than a new pickle jar. The problem comes in when you install a hot can onto a cold rifle. That can will seize on there REALLY fucking good.

I ended up unthreading my muzzle device, which had a copious amount of rocksett on it, and soaking the barrel end of the suppressor along with the brake in a cup of PB blaster for a few days. I then mounted the muzzle device in a vise and used a giant strap wrench to take it off. I ended up dragging my work bench while doing this. Holy fuck that was a nightmare.

I ended up buying a small portable fan that I rest on or underneath the suppressor when the line is cold.

Been using this. No fog https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07TTCLFFD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wog3Db33QTJ75

You must really be blasting that Dead Rabbit to make it hot because it's one of the coolest RDAs I've used, relative to the others. I too hate hot RDAs. My Pulse 24 gets too hot. I only use a single coil in my Goon to keep it from getting too hot. When at home, the best solution is to set it down in front of a portable fan in between hits.

I've been interviewed for a Geek Magazine, I held a Wine and Cheesy Sci-Fi Party and I got a spot on a panel at Phoenix Comic to speak about Geek Weddings.

I can haz need light

Let there be light!

I go to lots of LAN parties. Things that pc gamers like are Keyboard cleaners

and Compressed air as getting rid of dust is essential to a gaming pc. USB lights are fun Like this
or This

I would suggest avoiding gaming mouse or headphones as those can depend greatly on a persons prefrence. Some people prefer over the head some people prefer buds. Some prefer Claw mouse some prefer palm. A keyboard is a keyboard.

I'm a bit sweaty and I've just bought a neck fan, it really really helps!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S737P48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_.dMADbN2B0EPR

As for lighting around your workspace, I just picked these up today: Antec Bias Lighting can be placed behind your monitor to give it a white glow which is supposedly good for your eyes, and Antec Advance Accent are LED strips that come in red/blue.

Set-up is very easy as they're both USB-powered. Just plug it in and turn on the switch on the cable.

It's 1/2 the price on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sky-USB-Astro-Light/dp/B00FGWM8Y8

Someone else reccomend these on Amazon, thinking one in and another going out will do a lot of good.

I'm going to purchase a dock over the summer and try to mod it and line up a 80MM fan about an inch from the air inputs so I have a nice flow of air going into the bottom of the system. I think on the dock ican also currently put in one of these https://www.amazon.com/Yoosion-Cooling-Router-Computer-Watertank/dp/B01KTG4208/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491104017&sr=8-1&keywords=40mm+fan+usb into the one side where there is vent access and you wont effect the wires.

I get the computer fans that already have a USB attachment, then I just plug them into a cell phone charging block.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Yoosion-Cooling-Router-Computer-Watertank/dp/B01KTG4208/ref=pd_sim_147_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01KTG4208&pd_rd_r=JNFYQT4GHDM5SHBCFTZT&pd_rd_w=ANEgx&pd_rd_wg=JxyG3&psc=1&refRID=JNFYQT4GHDM5SHBCFTZT

You can get USB extension cords if the cord isn't long enough.

Well to be absolutely fair it does exactly what it says in the advert:

https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Personal-Rotation-Adjustable-Office/dp/B07QZ1JP38/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?keywords=usb+desk+fan&qid=1570846736&sr=8-14

"USB Table Fan Portable Mini Personal Desk Fan with 360 Rotation and Adjustable 3 Speed for Office, Travel"

The processor would throttle itself, then shutdown if it gets too hot. Though if your worried invest in a laptop cooler. They aren't magical, but it should drop it down to around 70 which is safe

I've found a number of items but I'd only want the pens. If anyone wants to take the nail tape or glue or light for their own I don't mind :) All true prices with free shipping

• $1.34 Vitamin Pens I like these

I bought a small usb pluggable fan and put it on my desk aimed not too far from my hand. Works wonders. My hands are made of butter so I tried lots of things.

Here's the one I got, and its very study and surprisingly long lasting. There are many like these and cheaper as well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZYUSEA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased this about a year ago for backpacking and really like it. It moves a lot of air for it's size: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OUFMPPY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Kimchi. No need to reheat, and if you have enough of it it'll waft to at least a 10 ft diameter. Maybe couple this with one of those USB desk fans.

I wonder if you could tinker with one of these? I was actually wondering if I could pull this off for War Thunder a couple days ago. Is it even possible to control power from the USB directly?
edit: Just found a post about some trying to control the power output they did what you did. This is so cool.

A fan could help, but what you are getting is the VR sweats. It's a form VR motion sickness. You could feel absolutely no nausea, and still sweat profusely. The are a few unfortunate souls (like yourself) who suffer from this, where this is a way their body reacts to vr, like it doesn't know what to do with what it sees so it just starts to sweat like crazy. A fan like this could help you a ton https://www.amazon.com/Hand-Free-Personal-Fan-Rechargeable/dp/B07PLFHQJ5 . As well as just a normal standing fan blowing on the rest of your body. You can also try a sweat headband. Ginger may also help, but that is usually used for feeling nauseous from VR motion sickness. Good luck. Sorry you were unlucky to have this happen to you, but besides these few suggestions, there isn't much you can do that I know of.

I got a Cooling pad for my Lenovo (16gb ram 4gb gpu(Radeon m275x or whatever) core i7 5500 1920x1080) and it really is nice. I use it when I'm playing fallout and other intensive games and it keeps my computer noticeably cooler than it usuall you is with out it

It is usb powered and has legs to angle it for more airflow

Could you please support not only Yubikey but also the Yubico security key, the Thetis key, and Feitian?

Oh, you could also go for a brush like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/RBM-Motorcycle-chain-cleaning-brush/dp/B00LJYAESY

pretty cheap and will basically get all the areas you could want.

Boom.

Get some of these, and put them around your desk!

The lamp is the OxyLED Smart L120, found here.

It's an OxyLED Lamp I got off of Amazon. It's about $50. I love it.
