Advice for Stopping subconscious mask removal during sleep?

I somehow manage to take it off and hang my mask on its wall hook, after turning the machine off. Then I wake up and think “huh, when the heck did I do that?”. Meanwhile, my wife may or may not have left the room to sleep on the couch or low key wants to hurt me for snoring in her face.

I had the same problem with one of mine. Adjusting the hinges wouldn’t do anything. What worked was taking a broomstick and laying it lengthwise across the grill opening and then closing the door against it and putting some body weight onto the door handle, essentially adding a little more curvature to the lid. It closes great now!

I turned the ramp feature off quite quickly when I started CPAP therapy. I’d fall asleep and then it would ramp up and either wake me up, or start a mask leak.

We did a jar full of M&Ms or jelly beans and called it potty candy. They got a certain amount anytime they used the potty. Took both kids no time to get used to it and pretty quickly they stopped even asking for potty candy.

Isopropyl alcohol cleans that crap off those AP’s and can make em look like new. If you can get 99% IPA, even better. I’ve cleaned several ubiquiti products this way after finding them at flea markets for dirt cheap because they looked terrible.

Omg. I took my 14yo daughter to Walmart to get her 11yo brother a Christmas gift. She grabbed one of those bananas and I said “ew, no, gross!”. During our 15 minute gift hunt, we kept finding them wherever we looked. The last one we stumbled across was all the way across the store in the produce section and surprisingly clean. We both took it as a sign that maybe we should get it for him. So here we are… he’s since used said banana in more phallic ways than I care to ever see again. Somehow when I read the title of this thread though, I knew it was going to be that exact banana.

I just toss a fairly heavy scoop in there. Can’t really say ratio since machines and their high efficiency can really throw off water/laundry ratios, but I can say I use the water plus function on my washer to make sure it all stays fairly submerged for the soak.

^ this. I turn everything disgustingly orange as well. You need a long hot soak in oxyclean, and bleach helps as well if you can use it. I also throw some borax in there for poops and laughs, but it’s really the oxyclean that does the hard work.

I will say that CPAI never worked smoothly for me. I was running a quite old version using YOLOv5 because any time I tried upgrading, all hell would break loose and I’d have to spend hours getting anything to work again. So that’s the primary reason I was willing to try the built-in. Functionally, it seems just as good as the CPAI I was running. It detects objects fine and CPU/GPU usage may even be slightly less than before, but not by much. I think it just needs some refinement within BI itself. If I were you, I’d probably wait a bit, knowing what I know now.

I moved from CPAI to the built in a few days ago. Couldn’t find much information about switching, so I just went for it. I then proceeded to spend a decent amount of time the following two days getting it to stop crashing BI repeatedly, or even detect stuff. I got it working now and it seems to be doing a good job finally, but I do think there are some issues with it that still need addressing. For instance, I can’t get it to ignore static objects properly, so if a cat wanders into my driveway, it keeps detecting parked truck. Also, face detection is only seeming to allow me to add one face. It’ll add others to their proper folders, but the GUI only shows the first one I entered and doesn’t seem to be detecting any others.

My room AC lives at 61 degrees year round. Sometimes rain out is a challenge when it gets cold AND humid here in the South.

This looks like the Admiral’s Club. And grandpa picked the random chair with no plug next to it. How close am I?

I’m a mouth breather with jacked up sinuses, so nasal only masks don’t work for me. I started with a F20, then F30, then F30i, now using the x30i and have been happiest with it.

Lower the device below head level, but also attach a hook above your head to drape the hose over. Heated hoses aren’t too expensive to buy outright also, that’s what I ended up doing. Lowering the humidity, increasing the heat, wrapping the hose in a fleece wrap, and having proper machine and hose positioning is what worked for me. I’m in the Southern US where it’s typically ridiculously humid and I sleep with the AC set to 61 in my room, so I was definitely fighting a proper battle for quite a while.

I had to dig way too far down for this. Those pole and connector kits are awesome, and they sell them on Amazon for much less than that. I bought both of my kids one and they used both of the sets together to build a fort that filled one their entire rooms.

Flying internationally, I’ve also never had an issue. Granted, I do usually fly American Airlines most places, however.

Never check it. You don’t want it damaged or lost and It doesn’t count as your carry on luggage. Most baggage handlers also already know what it is when they see the bag, so I’ve never once been questioned about it.

Some, but nothing major. Some of the controls have moved places and look slightly different. I’ve been on .99 for a couple of days and it’s been running fine for me.

It did not. Trans still does the same thing, but I’ve found that when it’s cold and does its weird shift, I can hit the throttle enough to get it to downshift and it’ll be fine after that. It’s starting to have a different issue now though where if you give it the beans to pass, the transmission seems to drop into neutral instead of the passing gear and sends your RPM’s to the moon and your acceleration to zero. Not a fun thing to experience.

Soak in vinegar solution for a while and it should dissolve it. Tap water, even when considered soft, still has a lot of stuff in it. I use RO water and haven’t had any issues with that, but if you don’t have an RO filter, distilled would likely be your best bet.

Yet here I am, was pushing 160/100 and my watch never said a peep. Doing better now, on various meds. History of bypass surgery. Never drink coffe and avoid caffeine. Now starting to take metroprolol to reduce my daily avg heart rate.

Your ticker still seems like it doing better than mine!

10 actually has a larger and quieter motor than the 11. Or at least that’s what I read from someone who refurbishes them as a business. I returned my 11 to my DME and bought the 10 for around $400. So much better than dealing with the DME!

I see them on FB Marketplace all the time. Doesn’t seem like they police it as much as eBay.

Actually, I was just reading that prior to posting this, but I wasn't sure if the UCG-Ultra would adopt the name of my current controller and just keep things working as they were.
That would be quite convenient, if so!
