We recently had some heavy construction done in our condo after finding asbestos in the drywall, and had to remove all of our furniture.

I was thinking before putting everything back, doing a comparison vacuum between my three variants , my new Matic, a standard cordless Shark, and a plug-in beefy Dyson.

I was going to do for my own benefit to see if I should supplement with the Dyson and throw away the Shark, or return the Matic if it can't even outperform the Shark, but if there's any interest, I'll document the tests.

All would be with fresh new filters, starting with the Matic and finishing off with the Dyson, to see how much each picks up along the way

I noticed that when using the Even AI, the glasses are extremely sensitive and pick up everyone's words around me, no matter how far away or volume level, sometimes instead of listening to me. It's kind of annoying because I need to be in complete silent in order to communicate.

However, when using translate or conversate features, it's the exact opposite. They no longer pick up other people's voices (when they used to, very well).

I think somewhere, the software got mixed between which microphones to use. Like, they use all microphones when talking to AI instead of using noise cancellation to filter out the sounds around me, but then when I'm attempting to pick up conversations it, barely even pics of my own voice.

I know the hardware is functioning fine, because like I said, when it's not supposed to, it does a very good job.

If I wanted to mount a camera on top that required USB power, would I be able to plug it into Beni's USB C port or would that require also mounting a power bank to Beni to supply the camera?

Given the vacuum's robust movement and color cameras, I was wondering if there was a planed addition for manual remote control over the vacuum via the app.

I think it would be amazing to be able to control the vacuum while on vacation, and use its cameras as a security feature, a method of patrol or to check up on things while you're away from home.

I'm sure streaming that video would had a bunch of challenges to the development team, and the vacuums AI movement might require an overhaul to allow manual control, I obviously have no idea what you guys got going on.

But just my two cents, that would be an amazing feature to be able to stream the camera's footage.

Quick question about logistics and if this is normal. I imagined the charging dock would be included with the actual vacuum but it seems I'll be receiving the dock tomorrow via USPS and the Matic the day after from Fedex.

I know the Fedex requires signing for the package, and so I have it set for pickup instead as I'll be at work, but does the hub also require a signature? USPS is horrible with delivering actual packages to my address unless they fit in the mailbox and I probably won't see the hub for a week later, after they stop "attempting delivery" and just hold it for pickup since they're so disorganized.

Hello,

I rent a condo built in the late 70s in California. The condominium's maintenance team has done countless work over the past decade+ since my wife first moved in, including cut in downlights, vents, additional plugs/switch relocation, removal of chunks of drywall for plumbing repair, and even redid our entire bathroom ceiling because of a mold issue.

These condos have been having huge plumbing leaks, and the HOA is responsible for that, so they started doing preventative maintenance to cut down on cost on these taking time bombs. As part of the official repair campaign, the drywall in each unit has been tested for asbestos.

It turns out we're one of the lucky few with asbestos in the drywall compound. My wife and I along with our 2 year old toddler have been living here unaware, and I've been exposed to the drywall repairs frequently.

Because my wife has lived here for over a decade, our rent is less than half of the surrounding units, which is already cheap for California. What is our course of action at this time?

I had my checking account tied to my venmo because I usually use it to receive payments, but I made my first outgoing transaction the other day forgetting that my checking account is Frozen due to previous fraud and can only receive payments not make them.

Because of that my account is in the negative a few dollars, and so I'm trying to add another card to cover that. However when making the purchase, it says I have no payment methods available and to add a card, but when trying to add the card it says that the card is already attached to the account.

I've never used this card before for venmo, and I have no other venmo accounts. I'm stuck in purgatory, between being unable to add a card and unable to use a card that was already added.

Edit: I've tried cards from different banks including one from my wife who's completely unassociated with any of my accounts. It seems my account is blocked from adding any funds to it yet they expect me to pay a negative balance

First of all, I'm mostly talking about independence from servers. If there's an internet blackout, some server hosting issue, or God forbid but a realistic concern, Matic going out of business or killing support, can this function on its own? I know it doesn't need the app, and that all mapping data is saved on board, but can it still function with the zero Internet?

Second of all, if the company did go under, and bags are impossible to order, does it seem like an easy solution to keep going?

I'm nervous spending $1,500 on a vacuum that could be nothing more but a paperweight if the company decides to sell or close up shop or do any of the random scummy things that companies decide to do.

My lonesome solo base had daily raids from Dust Raiders and Black Dragon Ninjas (And just started getting Slavers) at groups of 20 with a frequency so insane that I've sometimes had two factions attempt to shake me down at the same time.

Every time I get the notification, I immediately stop everything I'm doing and run to Stack and Bad Teeth to hire everyone I can. They then lollygag walking to my little outpost which is typically fine because the Raiders will stand outside my wall and yell at me for a full day.

My issue is, when the two meet, The mercenaries will literally walk through the gang of raiders who are raiding! I have to attack a raider to make it hostile before the mercenaries attack but even then, it's inconsistent. With the 4000k I'm paying every other day for a bugged and failing guard force, I could just pay the raider's demands.

But now, because I'm by myself, I have to work day and night just to make ends meet to pay the raiders. I feel like I'm living paycheck to paycheck again in my early 20s lmao

I'm new to the game so bare with me.

I got one-hit KO'd by a single dust bandit within "The Hub" putting in me a recovery Coma in the middle of town because my stomach was -20.

I waited at max speed for like, 15 RL minutes to get all the way up to -1 and then it just stopped for a minute and started counting back down to -4 now.

Is this character just cooked? I'm laying here bored out of my mind but everything I've read says that, as a solo character, I just have to wait it out.

My blood is 76 and my hunger is only 270 so I don't understand why my stomach is now getting worse. I have a med kit but as I'm in a coma, obviously can't use it.
