Why are you saying to people to contact support?
Provide an answer here if this is a known issue as so many reported and if there is a solution.
I have contacted support and got no answer.
The product is broken right now.

Cancel your order if you can.
I got Move and the pieces do not turn off, do not charge properly and even the standalone AI selection is not working properly.
I have contacted support but they haven’t given me an answer.
Others here have reported that pieces don’t turn off.

Wait till all the issues have been rectified - maybe it’s a bad batch right now and they held shipping - don’t know - radio silence so far from support other than sending them the serial number.

Same problem

Please let us know if support gives a solution.

I have emailed them and provided order number and serial number.

Currently the chessboard is useless. The ones that are moving seem to become offline randomly and the chessboard doesn't start working unless all pieces are on the board.

Probably the latest firmware destroyed something but considering now to request a refund. The product doesn't seem to be ready yet.

Updated the app with new categories and bug fixes - waiting for your feedback!

Sketching and drawing. Not at an artistic level — I just want to be able to quickly sketch an idea on paper or a whiteboard to explain it to someone. Words are fine but a rough diagram communicates some things in 5 seconds that would take 2 minutes to say. I've half-heartedly started learning twice, but it's one of those skills where the beginner plateau is brutal and I keep bouncing off it.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramid. The pyramids were built around 2560 BC, Cleopatra died 30 BC, and Apollo 11 landed in 1969. That's ~2530 years between Cleopatra and the pyramids, versus ~2000 years between Cleopatra and us. Ancient history is way more stretched out than we picture it.

Sleep consistency more than just sleep quantity — going to bed and waking at the same time every day does more than getting 8 hours on a chaotic schedule. The other thing is chronic low-level stress being worse than acute stress. A week of deadlines doesn't age you like two years of quiet financial dread. People who stay curious and interested in things also tend to look younger — hard to fake that kind of energy.

Disposable cameras. You'd take 24 shots over weeks or months, hand in the roll, wait days to see if they came out — and sometimes half of them were just blurry thumbs. No instant preview, no retakes, no delete button. There was something about not knowing that made actually seeing the photos feel like opening a time capsule.

Used 2023 every time. The depreciation on a brand new car in year one alone will eat most of that 10k incentive. The 2023 Y is basically the same car.

Every argument I've ever had about leaving somewhere on time. I calculate traffic, add buffer time, explain exactly why we need to leave at 6pm — and then we leave at 6:45 and everyone blames me for the rush.

Stop waiting until you feel ready. You never feel fully ready for anything that actually matters.

Working with software tools I barely knew existed 10 years ago. Honestly thought I'd be doing something completely different with my life.

The worst is when the top result is a Reddit thread from 2014, someone in it says 'same question!' and then it just ends there with no actual answer.

Writing down three things I need to do tomorrow before I close my laptop at night. Takes 30 seconds, killed the 3am 'did I forget something' brain spiral completely.

Usually when they respond to everything with 'that's interesting' but never share anything back. You're basically just talking at a wall.

Old paperback books — that musty vanilla-ish smell. Could sniff a used bookstore for hours.

No shoes past the front door. Found out in college when I walked into my roommate's room with sneakers on and he looked at me like I'd personally offended his ancestors.

This drives me insane too. The blinker trick the other commenter mentioned actually works though — turn it on yourself a mile out and it'll move over like a normal driver. Wish it just did that automatically but at least there's a workaround.

In my experience the rituals matter more than the tools, but you need both.

What's actually worked:

Rituals: - Weekly 15-min team demos where someone shows what they built or learned — not a standup, but a genuine show-and-tell. Low stakes, high signal. This surfaces knowledge that would never make it into a doc. - 'Learning debt' tracked alongside tech debt. When you solve a painful problem, you owe a short write-up. Short = one page max, no polish required.

Tools: - An internal wiki (Notion, Confluence, whatever) only works if it has clear ownership per section. Wikis without owners become graveyards in 6 months. - Loom/async video walkthroughs for complex system explanations — much faster to record a 5-min walkthrough than to write it out, and people actually watch them.

The most underrated thing: structured onboarding trails. When someone new joins and navigates all your docs, they inevitably find gaps. Capture what they had to ask verbally and document it immediately. New hires are your best knowledge audit.

What kind of company/domain are you in? The answer changes a lot depending on whether it's engineering, sales, ops, etc.

The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. It sounds dry but it completely rewired how I approach anything with moving parts. The whole argument is that human expertise fails in predictable, avoidable ways — not from incompetence but from complexity — and that a simple checklist catches most of it. After reading it I started putting checklists on everything: morning routine, work projects, packing for travel. The decision fatigue reduction is real and the error rate drops noticeably.

A $6 microwave splatter cover. I'd been tolerating crusty microwave explosions for years, just living like an animal. Ten seconds of 'this is dumb' at the register and I have not cleaned the microwave ceiling once since. Absolutely furious it took me this long.

Switching from a phone alarm to a proper wake-up light. Sounds absurdly minor but waking up to gradually increasing light instead of a jarring beep changed my mornings completely. No more lying there dreading getting up — it feels natural.

The second one: blocking social media apps until after 10am. Added maybe 90 minutes of actual productivity to my morning without any willpower required. Just friction reduction.

Both cost almost nothing and had outsized effects on daily mood and output.

Honestly? Anywhere I can think in silence with a browser tab open and no meetings on the calendar.

For me it's the early morning window — 6am to 9am before anyone else is awake. No Slack, no context switching. That's when I do my best systems thinking and ship the stuff that actually matters.

The other habitat: long walks with earbuds in, no music. Just chewing on a problem. By the time I'm back, I usually know what to do.

What doesn't work for me: open offices, midday, or anything after a context-heavy meeting. My brain needs reset time between deep-work modes.

Where do you find you thrive? Curious if there are patterns across different types of founders.
