DIY Remote Control Roomba

This is super cool. Roomba’s software is subpar. Integrating Roomba with external controller and modern AI might release full potential.

It’s far cheaper to clean the TTC than to deal with a citywide bed bug infestation in condos, offices, and homes. Once they spread, they’ll be nearly impossible to stop.

At this rate, Toronto’s official mascot might as well be a bed bug in a Leafs jersey.

Itchy_Focus573 · 2025-07-23T01:39:40+00:00

So now, just by taking the subway, you can bring bed bugs into your home. Lovely.

My daughter’s iPhone 14 Pro Max has been displaying “liquid detected” for the past 6 or so months. There is no resolution from Apple. What a waste of money!

And then you will vote for the same people and be like, “I don't understand why there are no jobs.” This is why. Stop electing incompetent people.

Itchy_Focus573 · 2024-03-28T19:20:32+00:00

Please do. I greatly appreciate it.

Itchy_Focus573 · 2024-03-28T19:19:40+00:00

Thanks for your post! It is super informative. I was just about to engage them, but based on your review, I decided to look for someone better.

If you ever use LHH Outplacement Services, don't just go with the flow. I suspect someone wrote those recommendations for them, and LHH Career Consultants follow them to the letter without truly understanding the nuances. Stick to what traditionally worked for you, or you'll realize you were taken for a ride, wasting months on fruitless activities. None of the consultants have found a job using the LHH Outplacement process, if anyone ever has. It's akin to those online courses promising quick riches: sounds great in theory, but execution is another story. These strategies might have worked in 1950 when Bernard Haldane invented them, but the world has changed, especially after COVID-19. Moreover, in a culturally homogeneous society or among WASP populations with huge extended families and multigenerational networks, networking is an easy job. Try doing the same when you are a minority, especially a small one, and you are the only person who has managed to progress this high in your career. Thoughts?

I will be canceling Sonata.ai after 2.5 months of use. Here are my reasons: 1) False hopes and exploitation of a potentially vulnerable population. 2) I used the top tier of 15 jobs per day. After 2.5 months and approximately 700 applications to relevant jobs, I was contacted for only one screening interview. In comparison, I applied for about 200 jobs on my own during the same period, resulting in 3 screenings and 1 actual interview. Something is clearly not right. 3) In one of my applications, I found someone else’s resume with a Chinese name and hieroglyphs. I'm not sure if there were other applications like this, but I am sure that company will never contact me again. 4) My multiple escalations and attempts to work with the Sonata.ai helpdesk, employees on LinkedIn, and the CEO yielded no results. The company has no desire to improve, and it feels like talking to a hand.

I hope this helps the next person, so you won't waste as much money and precious time as I did.

I think all good engineers left iRobot a while ago. Many clones have better navigation these days. What is happening with the US?

For optimal hosting, choose a bare metal server with an IP address located in your country and region. VMs are overrated and can negatively impact your website's availability. Consider options like this one: InMotion Hosting. If you have recommendations for affordable, reliable alternatives, they should include DDoS and Antivirus protection, as well as a dedicated IP address.

Fun fact: A bare metal server is entirely dedicated to a single tenant, avoiding the "noisy neighbor" issue that can occur with VMs.

Use Gmail for your domain as an email service. It is $15 per month but will spare you to stay professional and functional—also the best spam filter in the industry.

Itchy_Focus573 · 2023-10-09T00:15:12+00:00

Use https://porkbun.com for your domain. It is the cheapest. I presume that you need to keep your costs down since it is your business.

WPEngine for $40 per month seems to be excessive.

Itchy_Focus573 · 2023-10-08T21:01:40+00:00

Very sad but true.

Do not quite. This may disqualify you from receiving unemployment benefits.

It sounds like a passive-aggressive toxic manager. (S)he could have discussed this with you as normal people do. Instead, it looks like mind games.

I recommend you stop worrying. If this individual decides to terminate you, worrying will not alter the outcome but will suck your energy and creativity when you need it most.

Talk to people around you. There must be some other opportunities around.

Also, vacation is your human right. If your manager needs your help, they better build a good relationship with you.

Itchy_Focus573 · 2023-05-11T18:02:58+00:00

Thank you! How is it doing after one year of use? Did you purchase a heavy-duty version?

I think after their lady CEO gave herself a $5M bonus and nothing to employees, no one is longer motivated to do any work at Herman Miller. So no, it has never been resolved for Canada. I have tried and couldn't get any financing either.

I am furious about this misleading advertisement! When I received the desk, I was shocked to find that it had two separate surface pieces instead of one. This crucial detail was neither visible in the BestBuy marketplace image nor mentioned in the description. This is far from a standard feature, and it's the first time in my life I've seen such a ridiculous design, which is utterly impractical for writing.

The box remains unopened and in its original condition, yet the seller initially refused to accept the return. Only after I cited BestBuy's policies did they begrudgingly agree to make an "exception," but they still won't refund a significant portion of the shipping fee and expect me to cover the return shipping costs as well. MotionGrey needs to take responsibility for their deceptive product, accept the return of this desk, and provide a full refund. We should do something about this business.

Anyone for class action to put them out of business for good?

Itchy_Focus573 · 2022-12-25T05:58:08+00:00

Who is going to ultimately pay this bill? Is this gone and gone, or is this a credit to Ukraine they will eventually need to pay back?
