100'' TV or 130'' projector from about 11tf away?

I'd get both if I could, but I'm only buying one right now. I was pretty set on the 100'' Hisense U6 Pro, then I measured the room again and started thinking maybe I should just go bigger if this is mostly for movies.

The room is about 15 x 18 ft and the couch is roughly 11 ft from the screen wall. With the N3 Ultimate I should be able to get around 130”, which sounds great, but I’m also wondering if that’s getting a little too big from where I sit. The U6 Pro being a 100” Mini-LED at around the same price makes this harder than I expected. I mostly watch at night, so I keep going back and forth between the blacks and HDR on the TV and having that much more screen with the projector. Anyone sitting around 11 ft from a 120–130” screen? Curious if 130” starts feeling like too much at that distance.

Wheel speed sensor codes: sensor or connector?

A 2016 Honda Accord LX came in after ABS and traction control lights came on while driving and stayed on after restarting the car.

I scanned the engine, transmission, ABS, and SRS systems with an ad600s. Of the four, only the ABS module had a code for an intermittent left front wheel speed sensor signal.

Looking at live data, the left front speed reading would occasionally drop out while the other three stayed consistent. I checked the sensor, wiring, and connector and found moisture inside the connector along with poor terminal contact.

After cleaning and drying the connector and fixing the terminal contact, I cleared the code and rescanned. It didn't return. The four wheel speed readings stayed matched during the road test, and neither warning light came back.

I've had a few wheel speed sensor codes recently that ended up being connector or wiring issues rather than a bad sensor. What are you guys seeing more often?

Trying a wet dry vacuum for the first time after using a bunch of different cleaning tools

I used to mop by myself, but honestly the floors never felt fully clean, especially in the kitchen. A colleague recommended a wet dry vacuum, so I decided to give it a try.

The biggest difference for me is the hot water cleaning. It cuts through sticky spots and everyday mess better than a regular mop. so I don’t have to go over the same area again and again.

Another thing I like is that it can lie flat. Areas under furniture that I used to skip because a vacuum or mop couldn’t reach them are now easy to clean.

I’ve also noticed I clean more often now just because the whole process feels less annoying than regular mopping.

Anyway, if you’ve always felt like mopping takes too much effort for mediocre results, a wet dry vacuum is worth trying.
