Mova LiDAX Ultra 2000 vs 3000 what's the difference?

I was looking at maybe buying the 3000 but at least on their site the 2000 AWD seems to have the exact same specs with the exception of 0.5 acres instead of 0.75. but if the the battery size, cut width, run time, distance per charge, and everything is the same is there really any reason to pay for 3000 model? Could the difference really just be the ability to map a larger area? Also people who have tried either mower, how have they performed?

Edit: I am referring to the two AWD models not the single wheel drive model.

Does One UI or their Good Lock app allow you to lock apps and quick close others?

Looking to replace my phone soon and one of the most useful features I have with oxygen OS from OnePlus is the ability to lock frequently used apps so when I swipe up and hold to bring up open apps there is a close button that closes all non locked apps. Does One UI or their Good lock app allow for similar functionality?

What are options for our sunken patio part of which angles towards the house?

Even though we don't have a basement I understand it's bad to have it angled towards the house. But it's also evident that the concrete patio we have is sunken beneath even the dirt around it. It's not in the worst shape but I worry it also isn't in good enough shape to raise it without the cracks getting worse. What are our options here?

Weird sqeek when running on Horizon 7.0AT treadmill

We got a notice recently to lube the belt right around the time I started hearing a weird squeak from it. The belt seemed fine, didn't skip or anything but I went ahead and tried lubing the belt anyway since it requested it. At low speeds you don't notice the squeak, but when you land at a higher speed like 4 mph in the video there is a squeak. Now this treadmill does dampen the force when you hit the ground on it which makes me think something there might need to be oiled or something. Any suggestions on how to fix or what to check are appreciated 👍.

Update: lubing the pivot points under the treadmill with some silicone based lube fixed the squeak noise. So anywhere where there was metal on metal contact with a screw and nut I lubed.

Just getting started with buying parts, is there anything I need to worry about?

I'm just getting into custom builds and want to start buying parts for the mocs I want to build. Is there anything I need to worry about or look out for when trying to buy parts from the stores bricklink or brick owl or is it pretty reliable and issue free? Bricklink easily breaks it down to lowest cost with just a few stores from across the world but idk what to expect or if there are scams or something I need to worry about. I just want to make sure my first experience is a good one.

How to prevent birds from nesting under solar panels?

My house has solar panels on the roof and I keep getting birds nesting under there. Is there something I can get installed to prevent animals from nesting under the solar panels? I also live in Illinois so I will have to contend with snow and ice in the winter.

How to deter a fox or other animals from living under our shed?

We replaced the trim, built the ramp, and repainted it right before we got married last fall. This summer we plan to fix it so that it stops bowing so much on the sides. But my wife who has been gardening and planting near it thinks there is a fox making its home underneath it. What are the best ways to prevent animals from making a home underneath it?

What style and color window would you put in these rooms?

The rooms are on the first floor on the back of the house and we have cream/yellow colored vinyl siding. We need to replace them and now have a chance to change the style and color to be more modern. I have no design skills and I have no idea what's a popular or good style these days. Any ideas are appreciated 👍.

What can I do to improve this so it's more flat?

The previous owner DIY'd the flooring upstairs and it shows based on the gaps around edges and thick uneven transition strips. But for now is there a way to improve or fix these transition strips? I know eventually we will have to fix the corner pieces but for now the transition strips are my biggest annoyance.

Impact of EV charging infrastructure and long trips

I understand that public charging can be a little unreliable at times where you can arrive at a place to charge that is either full of cars or has a broken/damaged charger. When going long distances where you will need to top off along your route how often do you arrive at a charger that is broken or full and won't make it to the next closest one before running out of charge? Or do you just leave a certain buffer of extra charge in case that happens?

Is an edger quicker, easier, and less maintenance than a string trimmer?

I hate doing yard work and due to how high some of our grass is we get a lot of overgrowth onto our patio and driveway. I'm not great at trying to use our string trimmer to edge and I feel it struggles on there being so much overgrowth. I want something that is quicker, easier, requires less maintenance when doing yard work. Will and edger do that for me or is it still about the same time, maintenance, and difficulty as a string trimmer?

Which security cameras would you recommend and where should I place them?

We have a back door and back sliding door to try and cover. Can I somehow install cameras next to each door on the siding or am I really limited to the area up by the gutters? Which camera would work best for each area if installing on the siding is an okay idea?

Everytime I cut the lawn my shoes and socks are coated in it and and it gets stuck in all the grooves in the bottom of my shoes. I try blowing it off, using my hand vacuum, and even just throwing them in the wash, but it takes forever and I never seem to get it all.

I want to build a stone edged garden but need advice where I can build it?

All the projects I've seen online for stone edged gardens seem to be for raised beds and I'm not sure where that is even safe to do. Does it even need to be raised and if not how far above the ground should it be? Is it safe to do along the fence or house? Need advice about what's practical and will look good.
