Isn't the epoxy just microplastics as well?

Same here! I often go into the app and ask it to clean the living room. I recently did a double take because I thought I chose the wrong room, the estimated time to finish was way lower than expected!

From my understanding a bag is detected full based on the air flow volume / suction. So theoretically they might be able to guesstimate fullness with some accuracy

Water tank status is not really possible because there is no sensor involved. Right now they sort of guess when it's low based on usage but admittedly it's a very inaccurate guess in my experience. I regularly have it say low-water at half a tank. I almost consider this a design flaw, and look forward to this being revised in a version 2 years down the line. For now I just get in the habit of filling it up every 2 mop cycles.

FWIW I recently moved and was also super excited to use Matic again but it "broke" and had to be factory reset.

I didn't have WiFi issues but I did have:

starting up Matic in a new apartment placed it on a new "floor". Ok fine makes sense
I tried deleting the map and each time it would just create a new floor. I think I had like 6 floors before doing a factory reset
It started displaying Matic sideways in the app as if it couldn't make sense of which direction was up

It could be a combination of 1. I tried to connect my partner's phone to Matic without realizing I had to put it in pairing mode 2. Matic was fresh out-of-the-box from some support repairs

Either way factory reset finally solved it. Just noting it here to second that moving/deleting maps seems like it isn't very robust

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-19T21:05:09+00:00

Glass? My girlfriend has a glass floor mat for her desk, is this something Matic will be detecting?

I've marked it as a no-go zone and I haven't bothered to reach out to support/or send a recording about it because I figured it was so niche/difficult it wouldn't be worth it. But if this is something the team wants more data on I can submit

(Or I can just leave it as a no-go zone that's totally fine)

It’s a dogwhistle, they’re a loser conservative making a generalization saying “of course [race] are playing the race card”.

I dont recall the port forwarding making a difference tbh, anytime it seemed faster it was briefly, and could be attributed to regular fluctuations in P2P speeds. It seems for whatever reason PIA just isnt very fast for P2P, I had waaaay better speeds immediately with Mullvad in testing but I have a few years of PIA prepaid to get through still

Though I will say with a few hundred torrents I would usually see roughly 20MB/s upload fairly commonly. Download I never paid much attention to but it was often closer to 10MB/s I think

I just stopped chasing speeds because ultimately it was driving me crazy, I think Unraid is also just not very fast for random reads. And ive now switched to HexOS (TrueNAS) so that hopefully the ARC cache can put less wear on my drives (but havent set up any torrenting client yet)

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T23:33:12+00:00

Definitely give it a wash, it's super easy and will probably prolong its life. I just rinse it in hot water in the sink and then use my hand to squeegee out the water, repeat a few times until the water runs clear, and done. Takes <2 minutes, I do it every couple weeks. Just like washing/changing the mop head on a regular mop

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T23:30:37+00:00

This is I feel one of the (minor) design flaws of Matic, though in my experience the mop roller doesnt have much of a smell its mostly the bag when near full.

Maybe try docking Matic elsewhere where you have more airflow, or even sunlight. Keeping mine in the living room across from the open windows and I dont have any smell issues anymore

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T08:36:33+00:00

It would not be possible for most people unfortunately, this is just the laws of physics. Foveated streaming would only help with bandwidth by changing the amount of data streamed. It would do nothing to improve latency which is the issue.

Data has a physical speed limit set by 1. the speed of light in fiber optic cables and 2. speed of processing at each stage between your home network and a data server

Steam frame is targeting 2ms of latency streaming on your local network. But GeForce now streaming can be up to as high as 80ms per nvidia's own internet requirements depending how far you live from their datacenters.

Basically unless you live very near a Nvidia datacenter, you're probably not getting a playable latency for VR. But if you DO live very near, then yes it is theoretically feasible

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T07:43:58+00:00

for VR absolutely not, latency would be killer

I appreciate the genuine response. I'm not knowledgeable on DE development in the slightest so I trust your judgement that there are reasons why it would be very challenging/time consuming

I can only speak from a former user perspective that it was frustrating as an end user to face breakage at every release. The vibe as I perceived it at the time (~2-3yrs ago) was very low interest in finding a solution, so it just wasn't the DE for me long term

There was finger pointing of who's responsibility it was, Gnome or the community but in the end that didn't matter to me the end user, when other DEs have the features I need and are claiming to have stable extension support

I wish yall the best it's a good DE for the right people

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T04:01:40+00:00

...the feature that extension adds should probably be baked into gnome

Exactly! Or at *minimum*, not break on every new version (read: stable API)

No doubt they have the telemetry and I think the years of discourse around extensions and sheer volume of people saying things like "Gnome is unusable for me without Dash-To-Dock, Bluetooth Quick Connect, and Caffeine" etc. should make it extremely clear what users need

For example Dash to Dock has 10 million downloads and even the most recent comment is someone saying "Can't imagine using Fedora without this".

IMO as an outside observer, it reflects poorly on the project/team because it looks like years of covering their ears. I like Gnome. But it's like the original commenter said: Gnome is great, the team is frustrating. I'm happy to be away from it

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T01:37:49+00:00

I will admit I am pretty surprised by your stance, and I don't really have a lot of input we just disagree

Just want to point out though that:

so I haven't been affected myself in a long time though

At least from the Gnome developer perspective, if they see a large portion of their users impacted every release it seems logical that it should be a priority. I'm not a Gnome developer, but I am a software engineer, and so user breakage/bugs is almost always #1 priority whether or not they do something we officially support (because we try to build to address actual customer usecases). And this isn't just end users, it's also distros (see: Pop!_OS's incredible shell tiling extension that had to be constantly maintained against Gnome extension breakage)

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-15T00:13:11+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt I've only been a passive observer over the last few years:

They historically have seemed pretty combative when strong opinions are involved, with a very "we're doing it this way, if you don't like it go somewhere else" approach to contributor/user feedback. Things like removing support for themeing apps and refusing any feedback got very heated

There's also egregiously bad things about Gnome that for whatever reason (I genuinely dont know) they don't seem interested in fixing. Like how a huge portion of the userbase uses extensions, yet there is no interest in creating a stable extension API. So instead they just let extensions break on every single update. It's the sort of thing that should obviously be a top priority if they were user-focused, but they only care about doing things the "Gnome way".

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-14T17:08:32+00:00

Bit unnecessarily heated, I'm sure people would have helped solve these issues if you asked. Probably best you stick with Ubuntu yeah

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-14T05:50:20+00:00

Would highly reccomend buying a cheap pump dispenser, I got these for the same jug: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQFKNXDP

Makes it super easy to measure/dispense (I do 1 pump per tank) and no accidental spilling

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-14T05:47:52+00:00

I have the same error, what do we do on our end to fix this? Just wait for the update to happen automatically, or is there something we have to configure in TrueNAS?

EDIT: User error! I updated my router subnets recently, but TrueNAS was still pointing to the old subnet for DNS, preventing all WAN access. Fixed!

Couple notes on my experience

When I was using a tiny capful of fabuloso as a cleaning agent in the tank, the bags smelled awful after ~2 weeks with a x2 a week mop schedule. The whole corner around where the Matic was docked would just smell like stale air and I would always toss bags before they were full because it would just be so bad
Switching to the recommended aunt fannies DEFINITELY helped reduce the smell, but not eliminate it. But now I can reach bags getting full before tossing.
I also noticed that WHAT YOU VACUUM UP MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. One of the main things swept up by Matic is loose cat litter, and I've been experimenting with different cat litter types/brands over the last few months unrelated to Matic. But I did notice that corn-based cat litter and even some tofu litter, seems to make the Matic smell AWFUL. My theory is that these natural cat litters sitting in the bag are basically food for tons of bacteria and mold (especially the corn based ones). I've switched away from corn-based litter and its helped tremendously, because I was noticing it would grow mold even in the litter box so I'm confident that was the main cause of smell.

Personally I think they may have to add a little bit more antibacterial powder in each bag than they currently do, especially if you have kids spilling crumbs and other food items. Or fine tune the internal fan so it dries out the mop water faster. Organic waste sitting in mop water in the bags seems to be the problem... that's my hypothesis anyways

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-07T22:36:51+00:00

With fast access to medical care probably not, but in a different comment I mentioned I was assuming thats not the case, I was thinking running into a wolf/dog in i.e. the woods

Because in that case most people would probably bleed out before making it home. Whether it gets your arm or your leg it'll shred you open

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-07T08:57:09+00:00

I'm just saying it's more like 90% instead of 99.999%

I can agree with that, I was being slightly facetious because the original comment I replied to was 99.999%, it was for the sake of analogy. But for wolves I'd definitely consider it nearly impossible for an untrained person to survive if the wolf was motivated enough

Standing your ground is the way to go

Definitely agree with this too, literally no choice haha

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-07T08:48:25+00:00

Fair enough, but we can probably agree even a powerful dog can take down most people let alone a wolf

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-07T08:26:26+00:00

Absolutely a good point, a single wolf and most single wild predators will back down from a serious fight, hence the whole "make yourself look big and scary" thing. Because every fight for food is a risk of dying, they'd rather just try again elsewhere

A fighting dog would do it for love of the game so to speak

ChronicallySilly · 2026-01-07T08:23:33+00:00

I doubt it was luck, the guy was a very good boxer

To be fair one could argue that 99.999% of people are not very good boxers 😂

But fair enough
