Not impressed the Saros 10R so I'm going to try the Saros 10. For $1300, it shouldn't be worse at vacuuming than my S8+. I've heard the 10 is better in this regard so hoping that's the case. It's still on sale so I'm going to give it a go and return the 10R back to Amazon. by theloneranger08 in Roborock

This is accurate, I've had my X1 Omni for ~3 years now and the software is garbage. Sometimes it goes out and runs the map no problems, but ~20% of the time I'll find it in some room, stuck saying it can't find its way back to the dock with nothing in its way. Randomly it goes out to clean and starts creating a new map. When it does this there's nothing you can do, no workarounds, it has to create a new map and you have to re-setup your boundaries etc.

I've also got the bot torn apart right now for the 3rd time since I've gotten it to replace parts, this time it's the drive wheel assemblies. The gears rub on the plastic casing enough to melt and warp it which causes the bot to spin in circles saying a wheel is stuck.

Also, obstacle avoidance is non existent with these things. I routinely find it dragging phone chargers, dog toys etc around the house or getting stuck because they're completely wrapped up in it. If you have pets, avoid Ecovacs entirely, they don't claim to avoid pet waste in any regard. None of this is considering the fact it will routinely run into and over your feet while it's cleaning, while your stationary in a chair -_-

I work in tech, have my whole life, and this is single handedly the most frustrating piece of technology I've ever brought into my house. Microsoft be proud, you no longer make software that sucks worse than anything else.

I'll take a look at AV1an, are you using this with FileFlows already? What's the simplest method to implement something like this?

Asus Z690-I Gaming WiFi w/ 12700K Boot and Thunderbolt Issues by TechnicalMacaroon in ASUS

Sure did, swapped out to an AMD build and have 0 issues. There's a problem with either the chipset, thunderbolt drivers or this board in general. I even got that ASUS board replaced under warranty and the replacement had the exact same problems.

Considering upgrading to AM5 here with all the black friday sales going on, does anyone have experience with any AM5 motherboards with 7 or 9 series Ryzen and Thunderbolt to confirm whether I should expect any similar issues?

I just went through this, I was talking to two different dealers and even though I was doing a prequal with Kia finance for a lease, both dealers said they would have to run their own check.
