I just got a new Dreame X50, and I was pretty excited since my previous robot vacuum, the Roborock S5, couldn’t get over the new door thresholds. Either way, it was a good excuse to buy a new and exciting product. After reading lots of reviews and seeing demonstrations of the new threshold-crossing feature, I got really hyped for the X50.

After unboxing it, I was still pretty happy. It looked high quality. But when it started creating the map, it struggled with the door thresholds, got stuck, and made a huge amount of noise banging around. Then it failed to map the entire floor and even added extra rooms that don’t exist.

I figured I should delete the map and try again. But the exact same map came back, so I thought, “Alright then, let’s just run a cleaning cycle.” Today it has spent 180 minutes cleaning around 80 square meters. It even spent a whole hour on one bedroom that’s only 7 square meters. It honestly seems completely drunk, just driving back and forth randomly with no logic at all.

And now it didn’t even finish because it had to recharge. Meanwhile, my old Roborock S5 could clean the entire floor without charging and finished in 45 minutes.

At this point I should probably just file a warranty claim — what an absolute piece of junk, right?

Hi! I make videos with simple graphics for training and educational topics. Lately, I’ve wanted to produce the videos in 4K. I created the sequence in 4K resolution at 25 fps. I never use actual video footage, only graphics, so I figured 25 fps would be enough.

I tried exporting it, but I’m not very good at understanding which export settings to use. No matter what I did, a black box kept flickering in the lower part of the video. So I ended up trying all kinds of export settings, and in the end I was probably just lucky that it worked. I need help understanding which settings should actually be used. Does anyone know about this?
