O1000 LiDAR Pro is the new barber of my lawn for the summer
Zero tip, still does a great job with a complicated hairstyle, better than I did.
Found this online and had to make a mower version lol

Trying to narrow down a possible baseboard heating leak before tearing up the floor
Looking for some opinions on a suspected hydronic baseboard leak under a slab.
I ran the system for a while and scanned the area with a tc005. Most of the suspected loop path looked fairly consistent, with surface temperatures around 79–82°F.
One section stood out at roughly 71–73°F and appeared noticeably cooler than the surrounding floor. The rest of the run tracked pretty cleanly on thermal.
I'm not saying thermal imaging is a silver bullet, but that cooler section definitely caught my attention.
At this point, the options seem to be:
* Open the slab and replace the affected section
* Abandon the run and reroute above grade
* Isolate that zone and switch to mini-splits
* Bring in a leak detection company before getting destructive
For those who have dealt with slab leaks on hydronic systems, would a cold section like this raise any red flags, or am I reading too much into the thermal image?
Would you trust the thermal scan enough to justify professional leak detection, or would you be looking for more evidence first?

Finally narrowed it down to 3. Need to pull the trigger before the World Cup
My BenQ W2700 finally gave out a few weeks ago. Since I'm replacing it anyway I figured I'd go for something flagship this time, something I won't feel like upgrading again in two years. World Cup coming up is also forcing me to actually commit.
We don't want to ceiling mount so that already cuts it down a bit. There's a lot of information to sort through so I put this table together, figured it might be useful for anyone else in the same boat.
Been seeing a lot of people pushing the Valerion lately and I'm genuinely curious what the draw is. The brightness gap vs the other two is pretty significant, does it make up for that somewhere else in real use?
Also saw someone mention that the DLP chip is one of the bigger factors in actual image quality. Noticed both the N3 Ultimate and the Horizon 20 Max are running the 9679 chip, which apparently is the latest gen. Does that actually make a difference in image processing or how motion handles compared to older chips? Genuinely not sure how much weight to put on that.
Leaning N3 Ultimate mainly because it has the highest brightness of these and the widest optical zoom range, which matters a lot when moving it between two different spots. Though I'm really drawn to the Harman Kardon speakers on the Horizon, especially for yard use where we probably wouldn't need to hook up external speakers at all.
Help me decide!

I've been going back and forth for a while, and I'm currently leaning toward the Ecovacs Goat O1000 Pro. The main things I've been thinking about are coverage, slopes, navigation setup, battery runtime vs charging time, and cutting height. RTK seems like it would work fine for my yard, but I'm also thinking longer term, if anything changes in the yard later and messes with the satellite signal, I might be better off just going with a LiDAR-based system now instead of upgrading later. That said, I can't shake the feeling that I might be missing something. For those of you who already have one, anything you wish you knew before buying?
