The Lovense Solace Pro is a sleek automatic stroker. It's a chargable device with two sets of controls: stroke length and stroke speed. You can control these with the buttons on the device or with the app. You can connect the stroker to your PC or phone via Bluetooth. You get a sleeve in the case upon purchase, but I suspect that Lovense will soon be adding more sleeves to their site. You can mount this machine to your desk for more stability with the included desk mount. This mount can be adjusted up or down so that you can use this machine while standing or sitting. You can also use the Vibemate app to sync this machine's stroking to porn.

Design

This machine has a sleek and simple look to it. If you saw it at a glance, it might not even pass as a sex toy. The entrance is wide, compared to most sex toys. I personally enjoy this because I prefer the feeling of stroking rather than the feeling of tightness. The inside of the sleeve is also fairly loose, compared to other masturbators. I couldn't find a photo of the texture, but there are lots of bumps and ridges that are sparingly placed.

The two compatible apps were well-designed and easy to use. One of those being the Lovense Remote app, which lets you (or others) remotely control the toy and sync it with other people. The other being the VibeMate app, which can sync the toy's stroking to match porn on most popular sites.
Experience

I had an amazing experience with this toy. While it was mostly good, there were some slight downsides. Let's start with the pros first.Firstly, it was extremely easy to use and adjust. The buttons were so intuitive that I was ready to go within minutes of opening the box.

The included desk mount was also easy to put on my desk. I have a pretty thick desk, so I was afraid it wouldn't fit. Rest assured, it was a great fit and it would probably fit desks much thicker than mine. The manual says that the maximum desk thickness is 55 mm (2.1 inches). You could adjust the mount up and down, so you can use this toy while standing or laying back. The stroking was amazing. The range of motion and the speed choices were great. It was fun experimenting with the default settings on the machine. If you're looking for more personalization, then the app can get those in-between speeds and motions that you're looking for.

Like I said earlier, I prefer the feeling of stroking rather than the feeling of tightness. That's why I loved the included sleeve. It had a wide entrance and chamber that wasn't too intense at all. It also had a very luxurious feel to it. I don't like to describe sex toys as feeling realistic, since the real thing is so different, but I would describe this as feeling closer to a blowjob rather than penetration if I had to.

Moving on to the AI function, which is the big sale of this machine, I would say that it's... okay. The Vibemate app is supposed to use AI to sync your machine to porn. While it worked, it wasn't perfect. The toy's promotional material clearly states that the video you're watching is supposed to be so clear to their AI model that there's no doubt about what's happening on screen. But the positions these actors get into are so crazy and nuanced that it's a little difficult for the AI to understand exactly what's going on, so it kinda does some guesswork. Even if it's clear as day to you, then it's still a hit or miss with the AI. It's pretty cool when it works, especially if you're wearing a VR headset. But if you're anything like me, you're going to be a little thrown off and distracted when it doesn't sync.Honestly, this isn't too big of a deal for me. I wasn't really sold on this machine because of the porn AI functionalities, so it still served a purpose to me. But if that's the reason you're going into this toy, then you might want to hold off on it a bit. Lovense stated that they will continuously make updates to the AI (by updating the app, not the machine). So it's likely that things will get better a bit down the line.

The advanced tech doesn't stop at AI. You can still sync this toy to other toys or let other people control it. I haven't had the chance to do either of these, but they definitely sound fun. People can share patterns they've created in the app, and I was able to experiment with those. I'd imagine that it's extremely fun to let a partner control this toy over voice chat and communicate about your preferences.
https://www.lovense.com/r/x2ypwe
There were also tons of games that sync with your toy. I didn't feel like doing so I skipped on those. You're also able to sync the toy to YouTube videos and music, which weren't really my thing so I skipped out on those as well.I will say that the biggest drawback to this toy is the fact that it's a little difficult to use with your hands. As you can tell in the promotional pictures, the gray console powers the movement of the sleeve. So you mount the console to the desk mount and control everything with the console. Essentially, the console just moves the sleeve for you. This sounds fine, until you realize that it's difficult to use this toy's automatic functions if you're lying down. It works okay if you're standing or sideways, but even then, it still bounces around a bit and can ruin the fun. If you're lying down and holding the toy with your hand, it's horrible. The console just kinda takes your hand up and down with it, leaving the sleeve stationary. Even if you hold it really tightly, then you're just focusing on holding the console in place so that the sleeve can go up and down instead of focusing on the pleasure that you're supposed to feel.

This is definitely my favorite toy... most of the time. That is when I'm in my room with my desk so that I can mount this toy there and get the full experience. Otherwise, I'd go with something a bit more portable or less involved.

Cleaning

This toy was so easy to clean. Once I was done, I unscrewed the cap at the end (both ends have a cap) and simply pulled out the sleeve. I rinsed it, then flipped it inside out to pat dry. This sleeve was so easy to flip inside out. Most sleeves are somewhat difficult to turn inside out, but it was effortless with this sleeve.

I would say that it was probably the easiest toy I've cleaned! Kudos to the Lovense team for making this experience very easy.

Quality

The machine was luxuriously high-quality. From the console to the sleeve. It was all an amazing experience and I can tell that this machine is going to last long.

Price

This toy retails for $398... which is kinda steep. Luckily, the toy was provided for me (NOT by Lovense) and since we got it during the promotional period, it was $189. This period ends on September 17th, which has probably passed by the time you're reading this.

Would I pay $398 for this thing? I think I would. I would probably stop buying other sex toys in favor of saving up for this one. It's an amazing machine. I'm going to look forward to coming home after work and treating myself with this toy. It's a luxury price for a luxury toy. Again, if you're going into this toy because of the AI sync functionality, then I'd wait a few months until it's working better.
https://www.lovense.com/r/x2ypwe
Performance

Lovense says that you can charge this toy for 2 hours and use it for 14. Out of the box, it was at 65%. I used it for about an hour and it went down about 5%. I used it at a very low speed but with a longer stroke length. The speed probably has more of an impact on the battery life, but I was still impressed at how little battery I took up with my session. You can charge this toy with a USB-C port.

Packaging

The toy was very nicely packaged. The box was pretty bulky and had a nice feel to it. A styrofoam wrap kept the toy safe and sound during shipping. Inside of the box was the console, the sleeve and its case, the desk mount with its key, the piece connecting the console and the sleeve case, a USB-C cable, a user manual, and a nice bag for storage. I kept my sleeve and its case in the bag and put everything else back in the box.

This chip is a cryptographic processor that generates unique codes and stores encrypted cardholder data.
https://nonvbvbin.org/the-truth-about-emv-x2-software/

The key to EMV’s security is the ARQC (Authorization Request Cryptogram) – a dynamic code generated through a complex interaction between the card, terminal, and issuing bank. This isn’t just a simple code or password that can be copied. It’s the result of real-time cryptographic calculations using secret keys stored securely in the chip.
emv x2 software

Each transaction goes through multiple security checks. The chip uses transaction data like amount, terminal ID, and timestamp to generate an ARQC that can only be validated by the issuing bank. The chip also has an internal counter that increments with each transaction – if the bank sees duplicate or out-of-sequence counter values, it may indicate fraud.

These layers of security make it nearly impossible to forge or replay.

You’ve seen them – detailed tutorials claiming you need specific card readers, blank chips, and a suite of programs with names like “JCOP Tool” or “ARQC Generator.” They might even include convincing screenshots and technical jargon about “BIN matching” and “script templates.”

Verified by Visa (VBV) is a security protocol that adds an extra layer of authentication when making online transactions. It requires cardholders to verify their identity—often through a password or code—to prevent unauthorized use. A non-VBV BIN means the card associated with that BIN is not enrolled or does not require VBV authentication.

There were also several similar games where I had to choose one of the other, such as Dangerous Dave or Bio Menace.

Additionally, there are some that really really needed to be on the list such as GTA Vice City and AC Black Flag.

Some of these choices might be a bit controversial, as Morrowind was arguably better than Oblivion which was arguably better than Skyrim, but I went for the ones that I enjoyed the most.

I am building an integration using the Figma REST API. I have a scenario where I need to fetch data (GET /v1/files/:key) from a file that has Password Protection enabled (Shared via "Anyone with the link + Password").

Currently, when my script attempts to access these files using a valid X-Figma-Token, I receive a 403 Forbidden error.

I have looked through the REST API documentation but cannot find a parameter or header to pass the file password.

I noticed that when accessing via the browser, the client makes a request to an internal endpoint (https://www.figma.com/api/files/:key/check_password) which sets a session cookie. However, since the REST API relies on stateless tokens rather than cookies, this internal method doesn't seem compatible with standard API automation.

My Questions:

Is there an undocumented header (e.g., X-Figma-Password) or query parameter supported by the public v1 API to access password-protected files?

If not, is the only supported workaround to explicitly invite the email address associated with my Personal Access Token to the file?

Any guidance on handling this auth flow programmatically would be appreciated.​]]> Book Discussion LoterGarry https://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/forum/other-topics/media-entertainment/book-discussion/624050-how-can-i-access-a-password-protected-file-using-a-figma-api-by-passing-password https://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/forum/other-topics/media-entertainment/book-discussion/624025-best-extension-to-compare-hardware-prices-across-multiple-stores Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:13:14 GMT Sorry if this is a dumb question but Im totally new to browser extensions and price checking.

I’m preparing for consulting recruiting(new grad) and would appreciate advice on managing a potential resume and background check risk.

I previously worked at an early-stage startup where I held an executive role (COO) and was the co-founding team. I have a formal employment contract stating my title, received salary and severance, and have external proof of work (competitions, government programs, public events, etc.).

On my resume, I currently list the role as Co-founder / COO. However, after I left, the company rebranded under a new name and appears to be reshaping its founding narrative - making new co-founders and taking the title from the original founders including myself. The company is the same company with the same registration, but with a new name and logo(I made both of them). There was tension during my exit, and communication is now cut off. Due to their rebranding, they even reported my LinkedIn work experience, as it stated co-founder. Therefore, I would prefer not use the founder as a reference.

I’m considering changing the resume wording to “Founding Team Member / Early Executive (COO)” to reduce risk, but I’m unsure about the trade-offs.

Specifically, I’d love input on:

Does using “Co-founder” vs. “Founding Team / Early Executive” materially affect resume strength in consulting recruiting?
Would switching away from “Co-founder” meaningfully reduce perceived seniority or impact resume screening scores?
How deeply do consulting firms verify titles at early-stage startups during background checks?
If a former startup disputes a “Co-founder” label, how should a candidate handle that conversation professionally during a background check or diligence process?
Since I am now graduating from university, this startup is my only practical work experience, and it’s making me even more nervous. Any advice from those who’ve gone through MBB / Tier 2 recruiting or background checks would be greatly appreciated.​]]> Book Discussion LoterGarry https://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/forum/other-topics/media-entertainment/book-discussion/623998-background-check-concerns https://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/forum/other-topics/media-entertainment/book-discussion/623988-bachelorette-party-fun-post Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:37:28 GMT
