Taking your child to the park

Tings1991 — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 18:46:40 +0800

Hey all, I have noticed when going to the park with my little one (4years) that I seem to hang around him pretty close, and I always find parks pretty dangerous even thinking when they go up the stairs 'what if they fall backwards' or 'this slide is too steep' 'is that other child being kind'

I assume these are all rational thoughts, but how do I try distance myself a little bit so that he can gain confidence to go on his own a little bit?

I see some parents who just go to the park and off their child goes playing and they barely look up to check on them (that is a little to far for me) but I would like to be able to see him have fun and me not be stood by him constantly

Thanks all

New smart home project ideas

hey guys and girls,

I'm looking for some ideas for some smart home style tech. I like looking, playing around and building stuff and need some inspo for some project ideas. What have you made, was it difficult, and how has it benefited your every day life?

Currently i have set my home up with a mixture of alexa and sonoff devices along with some smart lights and plugs, but i'm interested in some more custom stuff.

Thanks in advance y'all!

OnePlus 5T Battery

Tings1991 — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 16:14:41 +0800

Hey all, so I've been using the 5T by OnePlus for a few years now - maybe since 2018 and it's been great.

Recently i've found the battery draining much faster than usual. Firstly, what would cause something like this to happen so sudden - it's been fine all these years, and this is a really sudden change in performance?

What sort of costs am i looking at for a new battery, and is it worth replacing, or should I try find a second hand OnePlus 8?

Thanks in advance,
Zak
