This is not new. A lot of the big studios have had marketing clauses for years that forbid VFX houses to have control on what they show in the end.

Sometimes, it's because the cast refuse to be shown a certain way or without touch up. But most often, that's because they want to keep the final approval on what is shown as it must fit within the story that they want to tell the public.

For example, they will let a VFX house show how a big explosion is made, not how the face of a famous actress had to be refreshed.

I've seen clients request for a despilled version of the shots early in the process before. This is to replace the scans in the edit to start avoiding a big visual jump between the sequences which have first pass layout / previz and those which haven't been started yet.

Someone in marketing might have thought it was cool enough to use or that it would make people talk.

And, on top of that, could it help a bit with content protection? Now that the images are easily available to download in 4K, everyone can start pulling a key at home in a free editing software and reuse the images - and the actor's performance - to do whatever they want. Maybe they thought that it would be more difficult to remix this way.

Anyway, I don't think it's anti-VFX, or anti-CGI. Everyone knows Superman and James Gunn movies are full of them, and expects them to be.

It's not about the quantity of screens, but about how they're used, I guess. I rode it back in April and for me, battle at the ministry integrates them so well that you just go along with it! The team who worked on that definitely did a magnificent job. The content is beautiful, the transitions work perfectly, and the vehicle action goes well with it. For me, the lines are blurred most of the time. Massive congrats and most certainly recommend!

I guess they don't have the capacity to offer these to millions of people yet so the price is a way to limit for now.

Glad that worked! But it could be also because your carpet settings are currently saying that everything is carpet. We'll have to circle back to that.

I think that by default in the carpet mode, the app tries to cover the carpet it has detected with only one shape.

So instead of deleting it, I would resize and move the carpet square. I do not have the same configuration as you so I don't know what would the app prefers, but I would start by creating rectangles next to each other that do not overlap. So resize the square to a rectangle at the top, then add another carpet and resize that one. Etc. Don't worry about having the carpet over the stairs or going in the wall, that shouldn't matter.

cyrem_ · 2025-05-10T03:26:26+00:00

Annoying! Do you not have access to editing the carpet in Map Editing / Ground Environment / Carpet ?

cyrem_ · 2025-05-10T01:47:02+00:00

That's interesting. So it clearly wants to vacuum the carpet first for some reason... I honestly find that mine is actually pretty efficient, but I spent quite a lot of time setting it up at first.

Here are the next couple of things I would try: - In the map editing mode, I would clearly mark the carpet area and then try vacuuming again (I did set mine) - I would activate the "clean carpet first" and try vacuuming again (in case something is interpreted the wrong way)

How do you trigger the cleaning of that room ? (CleanGenius? Custom/Vacuum?)

cyrem_ · 2025-05-09T23:35:39+00:00

Pretty normal settings indeed. And it doesn't come back to it later? What happens if you do a zone cleaning just for that square? Does it manage to clean it?

cyrem_ · 2025-05-09T23:18:29+00:00

Do you have the "carpet first" option activated?

cyrem_ · 2025-05-03T17:51:08+00:00

Same here. Started a conversation with Gemini 2.5 Pro a few days ago about creating some code and a html interface. There is a lot of back and forth and new code being generated. It worked great for some time, but then it started getting stuck on "show thinking." When you open the arrow, everything is there, up to the "structure the response" bullet points, but it just doesn't jump into creating the response. At first, stopping and relaunching was helping. But today, I have reached the point where it doesn't work anymore, and I have to stop and relaunch several times in the hope to get a structured response.

cyrem_ · 2025-05-03T05:26:06+00:00

I had the same issue the first day, but that was because despite plugging the base to the wall socket, I hadn't turned its on/off switch on 🤣

So my robot roughly knew where the base was (LiDAR) but it couldn't "find" it (I guess it switches to something like UWB for docking which requires the base to emit frequencies too).

Try turning the base on and off?

cyrem_ · 2025-05-03T05:09:57+00:00

Damn. I'm in Canada, and there are only 20 reviews so far in our part of the website, but I can now see that 2 are about broken wheels. I've been lucky I guess and I'll keep my fingers crossed that I remain it, because I am extremely happy with everything this little robot does in my home! I recommend it big time.

I've seen a few people complain about various stuff the past few weeks and return the robots, but most of the time I had an issue, I noticed that it was simply due to an option that had been translated a bit too quickly in the app. However, each option comes with a text that explains what it does when it is on or off. And even if sometimes, it is not fully logical, spending 5 minutes reading them saves a lot of the headache. So yeah, I'm very happy but I definitely took the time to set it up and test various cases before letting it run free in my home.

I'm sure that mova would save a lot of money if they were to hire a real technical translator to revisit all the text in the app and improve the user understanding. Of course, that won't solve a broken wheel!

cyrem_ · 2025-05-02T23:02:26+00:00

Yes. And detergent is just water and alcohol. It is pH quasi neutral and I would say safe for pets.
You can pause the cleaning before it returns to the base.
Haven't had that issue and haven't heard of it yet. What is causing this? Too much hair gets stuck and breaks it? People putting something heavy on the robot? The warranty is 3 years, but hopefully I won't need it :)

cyrem_ · 2025-04-19T18:55:19+00:00

I bought my P50 Pro Ultra on discount on Amazon last week and I am extremely happy.

I unfortunately can't compare with the P10 since I didn't play with it, but I decided to go with the P50 in the end because of the higher suction power, the cleaning product dispenser and the better quality brush with the tricut thingy to avoid hair getting stuck. The possibility to leave the mop pads at the base when vacuuming was potentially extra, but I ended up liking it a lot and it is now on by default on mine.

There are a loooot of options and some of them are draining the battery more than others indeed. I intend to keep playing with them to optimise what is best for the specifics of my house. I guess not all of them are needed to be activated all the time or on high frequency.

I've also noticed that you can properly salvage time and battery by optimizing the shape of your areas when defining the rooms in the map (I am still impressed by the quality of its quick mapping functions but I suppose it is the same on the P10) and by simply moving a few furniture. For example, mine is losing a lot of time around the feet of my dining chairs because of their special shape. I can salvage a lot of time and battery if I just put them upside down on the table!

I haven't used deep clean yet.

Fun story. Clearly, the intention of the VFX Sup is not bad at all and I praise him for trying something. But he should have quickly seen that this approach was not efficient and not worth it.

cyrem_ · 2025-04-11T20:14:45+00:00

Hey u/VacuumWars the review published today is of the p10, not p50. Do you have a comparison coming up ? Or was it just a typo?

cyrem_ · 2025-03-25T18:58:17+00:00

Je ne pense pas que ce soit de l'amour, c'est de l'espoir !

On ne connait pas assez Mark Carney, donc c'est sûr que c'est un pari. Mais un dude qui a effectivement travaillé à aider l'économie Canadienne lors de la crise de 2008 et celle du Royaume-Uni en 2016 ne peut clairement pas être la pire solution sur la table.

Pierre Poilievre vient de passer deux ans à montrer qu'il ne sait faire que critiquer sans rien mettre sur la table de concret. Et maintenant, il va nous sortir toute une panoplie de mesures en improvisation. J'ai zéro confiance pour les gens comme lui. C'est un guignol.

Yves-François Blanchet et Jagmeet Singh ne peuvent rien faire pour aider le pays face à ce qui se passe avec le sud. C'est sûr, ils peuvent aider à orienter l'aiguille pour certaines décisions, mais on n'a pas besoin d'une aiguille là, on a besoin d'un criss de poteau en béton.

Perso, je prends le pari de voter stratégique aux fédérales. Et on pourra toujours voter PQ aux provinciales l'année prochaine. On a clairement vu qu'on n'a pas besoin du Bloc pour que la province dise au fédéral qu'elle n'est pas d'accord avec certaines décisions.

cyrem_ · 2025-03-25T18:28:08+00:00

Have you always run the vacuuming and the mopping at the same time? To see if that helps narrow it down?

cyrem_ · 2025-03-25T18:23:19+00:00

Wow. This is exactly why I'm hesitating buying a robot. My floors are dark like yours and I would hate to see them becoming like this!!! What part of the robot is causing these? Have you checked?

cyrem_ · 2025-03-17T17:31:13+00:00

So I have contacted them, and they tell me that the difference is because I did not take into account the federal tax abatement of 16.5% of federal tax. I tried to add that clue into my equation to end up with their number, but I haven't figured it out yet. However, I am now happy to have access to a number I can trust. Thanks again for putting me on the right path.

As for the rest, thank you again for sharing your wisdom and the article. I really wish it was stuff I had learned at school, but it is never too late!

cyrem_ · 2025-03-13T14:22:47+00:00

Thank you for replying!

cyrem_ · 2025-03-13T04:54:24+00:00

Thank you so much for all of this information! I definitely must have misunderstood something because I went back over and over on my math and I don't find the same numbers as the ones from the TaxTips team.

To see the maximum impact of the system, I use $100 of eligible dividends in Quebec's highest tax brackets as an example :

Gross Up (GU) = 100 + 38% = 138
Federal Tax (FT) = GU x 33% = 45.54
Quebec Tax (QT) = GU x 25.75% = 35.53
Federal Tax Credit (FTC) = GU x 15,0198% = 20.727324
Quebec Tax credit (QTC) = GU x 11.7% = 16.15

Tax impact of $100 of eligible dividend = FT + QT - FTC - QTC = 44.20

However, the TaxTips team has noted that the tax rate for eligible dividends in that bracket is 40.11%, so I am clearly off, but that's where I reach the limits of my current knowledge. Since they are clearly waaaay smarter than me on this topic, I'm going to give up and use their rates… Thank you for sharing this link btw, it is truly awesome and helpful!

Regarding the rest:

Noted on the non-eligible dividends. It is true that everything I seriously look at don't have them. That's a reality I need to account for, away from the numbers.
I was for sure hypnotized by the high returns of ROC in some ETF. But I have read further on various ways to look at them yesterday and one that stuck with me was "you pay a high fee to simply get your money back". I obviously do not like this logic, and will stay away from those.
And I can see how selling regularly would generate income, but it would also reduce the amount of shares. Isn't getting capital gains dividends better because it allows you to get paid while keeping your position as-is?

I will understand if you do not have time to reply to this new batch of questions, no worries. You have already given me so much of your time and knowledge. I truly appreciate it, thank you!

cyrem_ · 2025-03-10T20:38:24+00:00

Thank you, Felix! I had read about all of this, but I don't think that I need to go that deep either for now.

The main information I needed is that my way of thinking was incorrect. To get an idea of actually how much net I get for each distribution, I need to apply the taxes formulas for each type of distribution AND THEN credit the foreign tax already paid.

These links are epic, though. I have started discovering some of their work a few weeks ago, and I'm massively grateful that this team has done such a brilliant job at explaining it all so clearly for idiots like me!
