That's pretty crazy to me too, because when I used to work at Walmart, I was shopping after work one day and I saw a projector on clearance for $15. An actual, working projector, not a cardboard box. It's 720p, and I knew it wasn't going to be a home theater type of experience, but for what I paid, it's more than serviceable for outside movie nights or whatever. How can you spend almost the same amount of money and get *this*
@Puddlemuck149 ай бұрын
@@Rhodeygirl Not really false advertising. It does project an image. Doesn't claim to have any electronics inside. It's basically just mirrors reflecting what's on your screen. Which is why you need to turn it upside down. Only way for that to work through the lenses. Which is also what other projectors do, but better with other software and a light source to produce a better image. This is basically what you get without all the other components of what we usually think of when we talk about a projector. But it's still technically a projector because it is a device that projects. Does it horribly, but does do what it's advertising.

And a bonus function if you keep one in your bag, it can be used to get things off the top shelves while grocery shopping (just extend it and use it kinda like a grabber) 🥳

Heh... the projector science fair project thing I knew immediately that it would be disappointing... Some years ago I was looking for portable projectors, that crap was the thing that popped up the most in searches. Not the specific model, but similar stuff. Cardboard or plastic boxes with lenses basically. You'd need a smartphone with a panel so bright it burned a hole in your retinas. There are small laser pocket projectors out there though... they aren't cheap of course, and they are not as bright as regular projectors, but better than the bulb ones. That fireworks globe thing, I also knew what it'd be as soon as I saw the picture on the box... because I have one LED light bulb with the exact same effect. It's a holographic coating of sorts. I think the effect looks best if the light inside is not too strong and you have the lights out.

The white noise machines I've owned in the past, and many YT videos, play on a loop. It doesn't take long for me to be able to recognize it and start anticipating when it repeats.

There are many great YT videos playing different color noises, and if you can find one without ads (because no one wants to be woken up at 3am by an advertisement for Kroger), they are much better.
