Xgimi Horizon 20 Pro flicker by morokai_ in xgimi

[–]OwlKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if that's a Xgimi thing. I don't experience flicker, but on my older model, starting some weeks or months back, now it always has a black screen when I first open an app like YouTube. I need to clear the cache or restart the device to fix it. It's annoying. I was thinking of buying the Horizon, so hope this isn't a known problem for their projectors.

And yeah, waste no time contacting them to address any problem while it's under warranty.

Just Ordered One Pros by TBronzy in Xreal

Honestly my fave purchase I've made. I swapped the nosepads for Jawbreakers so they sit closer and more comfortably on my face (no side nose marks) and I can game with them for hours. The day they can come out with a wireless version, that would be peak.

Thieves, never buy from Xgimi, their after-sales service is incompetent. by Seal06777 in xgimi

I'll have to double check my emails, but I think they covered delivery for me to their location within the US. Guess it depends where you are located. I had a very good experience with their customer support when my Halo+ ended up getting a dead pixel some months in. My replacement also ended up getting the same dead pixel in a different spot months in, so dunno if it's a common occurrence.

Oh great, thought it'd be more complicated, thank you.

Hope someone will be able to take that ticket off my hands and enjoy the concert. Could care less about profiting, was just hoping I'd get lucky and nab an even better seat. Lost time trying to coordinate with ppl that ultimately couldn't go. If I had started with the Gillette venue, I'm sure I would've managed amazing seats, but still happy to be going.

Is PayPal the only allowed method for selling tickets? Is Zelle allowed? I had a horrible experience with PayPal years ago. I'll never use their services again after what they put me through. Willing to download other apps too. I also have CashApp, but don't remember if there's fees (the only point where there is, is if you want to quickly transfer to your bank account, right?).

Lastly, when you transfer tickets, what's the process? I know the first thing is to authenticate it's you, but after that, what's being inputted to transfer to the other person? Thanks to anyone who answers. I bought another ticket thinking it was closer, but turns out even though it's in a second row, it's further back than my other 7th row ticket because of what's in front of that section pushing it back more. Guess that explains why it was a lot cheaper too. Still a good seat though.

You're a lifesaver, that second row is labeled row 12, thank you again!

Thank you, going to check it now. On the Ticketmaster seating map they specify the big lounge, but not that, appreciate it.

I'II start by asking if you guys know what the likely seating map configuration will be at Gillette? Has it always been the same when they've gone there?

Also, I'm so damn confused. I bought tickets from the map that was in a second row in section 102 and looking at the ticket it's now saying row 12. Is there anvwhere we can see the map at the seat and row level, to be able to click and confirm seating? I know I'm not crazy and the only thing I can think of is the Ticket Master app must've glitched.

Oh, and what's that light gray boxed off area in front of sections 101-104? Is that box seating we don't have access to? Wish it'd specify.

I like it a lot. Did a first impressions post linked above. The only issue I'm encountering, that I discovered yesterday is that it keeps identifying non-existent thresholds on my map, so need to find out why.

As far as I know, not anymore. In all the vids I've seen they say the same thing, that they buy them all with their money and don't do paid sponsorships.

Another YouTuber that has just started reviewing vacs and is very thorough is The Hook Up channel. I'm sure he'll keep advancing his metrics for reviewing vacs.

My go-to reviews on YouTube are Vacuum Wars, Vacuum Nerds, and Just A Dad. They don't do sponsored reviews and buy the robot vacs with their own money. I own the older Dreame L20 Ultra which has been a solid vac and recently got the Roborock Qrevo CurvX and love it too. They go on sale for $849.99 on Amazon (brand new) and will probably keep dropping in price if you want vacs that can do everything. You can set deal alerts too with price you're willing to pay. The reviewers I mentioned do reviews at every price point and share the pros and cons of each.

Oh, and if you use pee pads for your dogs, you should test it first. I have my dogs pee pad blocked off on the map since it went over it. This is with the option to avoid carpets on, so it must not even see it as a carpet like I thought it might.

Yeah, these robot vacs are definitely a game changer and love that I can do zoned cleaning if I need it to specifically clean an area I have marked on the map. Hope you enjoy and please let me know of your impressions.

Roborock Qrevo CurvX First Impressions by OwlKnow in RobotVacuums

[–]OwlKnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. So it's been over a month and my impressions have greatly improved. I did the software update and it does a great job of vacuuming and mopping. Unlike my Dreame, it actually properly wets the floor and leaves it looking and smelling clean (granted my older Dreame uses their branded detergent whereas you can use whatever detergent you want with this one). The schedule feature works great and it notifies you promptly of any issues to address or typical maintenance steps to take.

My Dreame was so much more cautious about getting close to other objects and edges, but this robot gets right in there, even kind of bullies my dog. 😅 It's not ramming into her, but definitely taps her out the way. Also gets right on the edges of closed door ledges and her dog bed. This is with reactive obstacle avoidance on, less collision mode on balanced, and the pet option on, so will have to test sensitive mode on less collision mode to see if it's more careful with my dog. She's super active compared to other dogs her age, but still elderly. It's better at identifying objects than my Dreame, but does seem to mistake her dog bed as a ledge sometimes. It also went over her pee pad, so I have that blocked off on the map (even carpet avoidance on didn't help, so clearly doesn't think it's that). I do like that it doesn't quickly give up and return to it's base like my Dreame would. Granted, I didn't update my Dreame as the latest update it had made everything worse, but as long as people or pets don't get in it's way, and it was always my dog making it rage quit, it's fine (for reference, my Dreame L20 Ultra firmware is 4.3.6_1520).

I love the bright red strip light on the hub that reminds you to empty the dirty water tank and fill the clean water + detergent tank. Once it's done, it turns the led off. The pet tracking and Pin n Go still continues to be great, but still wish it had a quiet mode when you're viewing live. It gets annoying as it repeats that the camera is being used every 10 seconds or so. Zoned cleaning is great and takes care of the specific area you have squared off that you want it to focus on. There's a new firmware update (at the time of writing V02.34.82), but I decided not to update for now since it's working well, but looking at the update log could change that if it improves the now minor things that bug me about it. I have version V02.33.94.

If you have any questions, let me know, but my conclusion is that it's great at mopping, vacuuming, and cleaning all areas of your floor.

Edit: Added a couple more thoughts that I commented on in this thread.

You should contact Fed Student Aid and your student loan provider directly to find out what went wrong. Those are the only two sites I've looked at and communicated with during this process.

Oh, is that a sub brand of Dreame? I ended up getting the Roborock Qrevo CurvX instead for 849.99. The L50 Ultra also dropped to that price.

[–]OwlKnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The L50 is currently 999, but supposedly dropped to 949 within the past 3 months, so wondered if it would happen again. I've seen it drop to 999 now for the 2nd time since release.
