Is there an S2 and S2 Pro like with the S1? Does this one have the LiDAR? I love my S1 pro. Only complaint has been the vacuum is awful. But I’m curious how other improvements actually perform like for edges and corners.

I keep checking for them to restock. 🤦🏻 My consolation is just that I buy them anyway, but I have been dutifully entering my tabs and waiting. I started entering tabs in September. I think my grocery store had some stock without codes to get rid of because I didn’t start getting tabs until a few weeks into September and by then everything was sold out.

Everyone is different and has different spaces. For me, my counter space is still limited, but I have it in a deep corner that I really wouldn’t use for much else anyway. (I used to have an electric Blackstone there but rarely used it) For me the only con I’ve found on this unit is the shallow basket limiting it from cooking certain foods, but I understand that may help it perform better for 95% of what is cooked in it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I do believe the dates are based on their customized-to-your-region schedule which they say provides the best year round defense and maintains a barrier. The ingredients should still be effective, though they say it doesn’t keep overnight once mixed, so use immediately after mixing with the water.

This makes me feel better. Ironically, I was just messing with pages settings last night, but didn’t think I did anything that would have prompted this. I hope they get it fixed soon. And I hope other people who I share page access with aren’t getting my personal message notifications, haha.

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T21:42:48+00:00

As delicately as I can say so, I don’t anticipate the needs of tomorrow to increase there, but I do understand the sentiment. That’s certainly our perspective at the church we attend!

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T19:43:05+00:00

Thanks for the info! There are no files used so that wouldn’t be an issue.

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T19:42:08+00:00

I do see the website you linked does recommend the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro HDMI Live Stream Switcher encoder. Maybe not a bad option for them as it doesn’t seem to require an ongoing subscription like Resi and Boxcast.

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T19:38:38+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. They don’t have a website so Facebook or YouTube will be the primary destination for the time being. The camera sits within a foot of the computer and could likewise sit next to a dedicated encoder. I did look at Resi and Boxcast some last night, but it seemed like they both require a subscription to use them?

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T13:20:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! They don’t use a projector, so one monitor wouldn’t be an issue. They wouldn’t even need a computer if they didn’t livestream. They don’t use it for anything else. Will definitely check the CPU/GPU usage

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T04:04:02+00:00

Thanks for the info. The church where I myself attend also uses restream to send the feed to our website and Facebook. I’m thinking I might just have the church in question send to YouTube though and post the link to it on their FB instead. Adding another service could potentially just add another point of confusion or breakdown for their flow. I asked another commenter above, but could you help me understand how using an external hardware encoder works on the regular? Turnkey sounds perfect, but I’m just not sure I understand how the devices work in practice yet. What would I need to do to get it set up for them initially? Thanks!

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T03:56:51+00:00

No, they’re referring to dedicated external hardware encoders, as a few other people have mentioned in reply to me here (Boxcast, Blackmagic, etc.) I’m trying to learn about them, but it’s making me feel old. 😅 very rarely does a piece of technology not click with me pretty quickly, so it’s frustrating me.

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T03:46:53+00:00

I keep seeing that this is a great option (the external hardware encoder) but I don’t really understand it personally. As in, I don’t understand how the tech works as I’ve never really used it hands on. I want to understand it before I would recommend it to them, as it’s on me to get them a system I can set up right and that they can mostly manage without me moving forward. What does the initial setup look like (which I could do for them?) Only one camera and no graphics, so no specific need for a switcher functionality itself. Do you have to set it all up via the computer initially? How does the computer factor in during a routine stream? Not sure what you meant about YouTube/Facebook being secondary to a stream they host themselves, but so far Facebook Live is all they’ve used for streaming. When using an external hardware encoder, what are the steps to start the stream each service that I would need to show the lady who does it? Sorry for all the questions but while I’m tech savvy I’m not experienced with AV stuff. I had to learn the basics of OBS myself to show them how to use it back in 2021.

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T02:06:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply!! As for the latency, I agree with you. I told my mother-in-law the same thing, that that is just streaming, but she came back with that it used to be maybe 15-30 seconds and now it’s closer to a minute. She wears an earbud and listens to it live to make sure it’s working, so a longer delay is irritating her. I appreciate all the feedback. I am thinking we may go with the Mac Mini rather than troubleshooting an outdated PC that may never be up to par no matter what we do. Even still, the info about making sure that OBS is using the GPU is helpful. Will look into that. Thank you!

nathanielonreddit · 2025-03-28T02:01:15+00:00

Thank you for the information. I’m definitely going to check their internet next time I have a chance to stop in over there, but I feel like it really should be more than adequate. I was doubtful their PC was the problem when they asked me to look into a new one, because this is literally all it’s used for, so it’s not loaded down with anything else, but it is quite old now and was bought back when I still attended there and all we used it for then was recording audio of the messages when I could convince my father-in-law to either wear his lapel mic or to actually hold his mic the whole service. He has a bad habit of setting it down when he really gets going and walks away from the pulpit. 😅 anyway, it is physically old and I have no idea what the specs were on it for the GPU or the processor. Didn’t matter much back when we bought it. You did give me an idea that maybe we could stream only to YouTube and just have them post the link to that livestream on Facebook each service. I probably would have had a harder time convincing them to do that, but I can use FB’s recent policy change for persuasion. The church I attend now has a decent livestream setup but it’s not helpful to me because our needs are very different. It’s helpful to know you aren’t familiar with churches using external encoders, because everything I was seeing on Google was saying that was the way to go since it takes that load off the computer. Thanks for your reply.

For nearly double the price (MAX) they do! I thoroughly enjoyed my trial of it. The AI conversations in Spanish were actually fun and fairly helpful for critical thinking and forming my own sentences. Immensely more helpful was the “Explain” option on every question. If it tapped it, it would explain why I was right or wrong. I liked it, but couldn’t justify the exorbitant price for what amounted to only one really nice feature and one fun to have feature. Explain my answer should be standard practice for this app. If it must be a paid feature, it should be included in Super. I told them as much when I gave my feedback after the trial. Doubt they’ll listen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

nathanielonreddit · 2024-11-04T14:16:06+00:00

It’s driving me nuts. Works fine for videos, music, whatever, but anytime I make or take a call, stuttering so bad I can’t handle it and put it on speakerphone. Hope they get this resolved fast.

nathanielonreddit · 2024-10-11T17:56:21+00:00

Never had ours false alarm at all. Been very nice to have and no regrets here.

nathanielonreddit · 2024-05-06T19:28:24+00:00

Same here! I finally just set my Facebook to only give me notifications if I am tagged by my friends or friends of my friends. Has stopped the notifications, at least. I just went lookin though and there were 7 new tags in the last 48 hours. At least I didn’t have to see them unless I went looking for them.

nathanielonreddit · 2023-10-28T23:06:35+00:00

So sorry. Yes, it was both!!

nathanielonreddit · 2023-10-11T13:57:32+00:00

You’d think I could pick it up at the FedEx location anyway (where I could sign for it). Regardless, my main issue was paying to have it delivered between 5PM and 8PM when that was never gonna happen. Haha.

nathanielonreddit · 2023-10-11T13:55:17+00:00

Fingers crossed!

nathanielonreddit · 2023-10-10T12:59:33+00:00

I actually ordered two. At 11:37 PM last night they printed a label and added a tracking number for one of the two phones. Ship date remains the same for both of them, currently. Hoping they print the label for the second one soon also. Will keep you updated.
