I would never want to build a product or service just to collect people's money with false claims. This idea would have to be highly valuable and affordable for many people in order to be successful.
That's just it. They are not false claims. You're doing actual testing for actual home health hazards.
But the sort of person who would buy your testing service is also the sort of person that does not buy houses that typically have such hazards in them. You are mostly going to be validating subjective emotional impressions with objective empirical evidence. It's a very powerful feeling to have someone else prove without a doubt that your gut feeling was correct.
For a small minority, you will actually be identifying real household dangers, so it's a win-win business.
@nuna has extensive lab experience and just as importantly, managing the vast amounts of data that labs produce...initially we would partner with a lab until there is a need to do it in house
Exactly, I don't know what's in the air we're breathing or what my 1.5 yr old daughter is ingesting after playing on the floor and eating with her hands
I find my micro USB type-B connectors all eventually fail, and I've been combing through Amazon to find a reliable cable manufacturer, any suggestions?
This is actually by design, kind of. Mini USB didn't have this problem with cable connectors because the complexity was in the jack. Unfortunately that meant that when a failure did occur it was on the divide and couldn't easily be fixed. Micro USB improved on that by shifting the complexity to the plug side. So the cable failing eventually is down to a lesser of two evils engineering tradeoff.
Huh. I know it was the rationale behind micro USB that the jacks would be more reliable than before. But I've actually had multiple micro USB sockets fail, while I've never had a problem with a micro USB plug, or old mini USB plugs or sockets.
In particular, my Nexus 7 needed two replacement jacks. I gave up after the second replacement broke. Phone jacks also get a bit loose after a year or two.
Since micro USB (sockets) are supposed to be more stable, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?
Also the stupid things collect lint in my pocket. I almost threw away a phone that couldn't be charged anymore, only to find I can revive it with a toothpick.
Look for cables made by Volutz. I had never heard of the company before I tried them, but their cables are incredibly durable. They're also 24/20 AWG and I've never seen USB cables that thick sold by anyone else.
Yup, I've never had a problem with any of my Anker gear. Cables aren't as flimsy as most of the cheaper ones - they seem pretty sturdy - and their other stuff (I have a 5-port wall charger and a power bank) is top notch as well. I usually don't like advertising a brand like that, but they seem to be doing everything right so far and I'd buy it all again.
I've tried the Emotiv headset, it doesn't work as advertised at all. Occasionally I could get the device to send the signal I was imagining, but it seemed pretty random. This is pure marketing for IBM cloud services, the video doesn't show or prove that he can move the device with is mind with any degree of control.
What's on the market that does work? I've been waiting for the chance to experiment with this stuff for years. Last I tried, the thing I bought didn't work either.
Eventually people will realize how grossly overpriced their iPhone is and the party will slowly come to an end... There are so many great alternatives at much lower cost.
I pay for LastPass because on Android, it will automatically fill in passwords on any screen, saves a ton of time, I wouldn't want to fuss around with a spreadsheet on my phone...
