This is what I thought USB-C was supposed to be

I was looking for one of those USBC thermal cameras for some random DIY stuff around the house and just assumed I could plug it into whatever phone was nearby.

Apparently not.

A bunch of the ones I looked at still have separate Android and iPhone versions, even though both phones are USBC now. We have one of each at home, so buying a little USBC accessory and still having to decide which phone it's permanently tied to felt kind of ridiculous.

Ended up finding the tc002c duo, which works with both. Tried it on my Android and my wife's iPhone and it was literally just plug it in and open the app. No adapter or different hardware version.

The thermal camera itself has been handy, but honestly this was the part I appreciated most.

I used to think the best thing about USBC was carrying fewer cables. Now I think it's being able to grab the same accessory and use it on whatever device is around.

Did I miss the best time to buy the N3 Ultimate

I’ve been looking at the N3 Ultimate for my living room and just realized I missed the primeday price. I want something that can give me a bigger screen without needing to sit in one exact spot. My room isn’t fully dark and the projector probably won’t sit perfectly centered, so the zoom and lens shift would actually be useful. It’ll mostly be for movies and sports, so the the brightness is a plus too.

I checked the JMGO site again and it’s still below MSRP, just not as low as it was during pd. Not sure whether to buy at the current price or wait for the next big sale. Also curious how current owners are liking it so far 🤔 especially in a living room that isn’t fully dark.

Our living room and bedroom have hardwood floors, the kitchen and bathroom are tiled, and there’s also a fairly thick rug. What’s really bothering me now is how to use cleaning tools across different areas. For example, if I use the same mop pad to clean the greasy kitchen floor and then move on to the bedroom, it just doesn’t feel right.

I’ve been looking into two different approaches:

One is the mainstream “self-washing” approach (i.e. high-end Roborock or Dreame models). They clean the mop pad with water between areas to keep it sanitary. This seems pretty mature already, but I’m curious, in real-world use, is repeatedly cleaning the same mop pad really enough to deal with heavy kitchen grease?

The other is something like Mova mobius 60, which can automatically swap out mop pads at the base station, so each area gets its own pad instead of using the same one repeatedly.

Intuitively, I’d lean toward the second approach, but “automatic mop swapping” is still pretty new. There isn’t much info on long-term reliability or actual experience.

Anyone here has used a similar system (specifically the mobius 60)? Does swapping mop pads actually keep things cleaner and make it easier, or does all the extra stuff just cause more problems and maintenance?
