I'm glad you enjoy it! The Steam version has been updated as well, so both align more closely now.
- Request list updated to include adding a setting to disable the arrow trails
- I'll look into the auto quiver issue you are experiencing. Have you adjusted the Auto Quiver setting in the settings menu? What do you mean by "the new mode"?

Self promotion. Holopoint (archery with holographic targets that fire back) just got a tenth anniversary update with refreshed graphics and new locations. It is a pretty intense game and works well for increasing heart rate. Holopoint is not yet native to the Steam Frame as I am still waiting for a unit to validate with, but it runs on the Quest so it should be a smooth process. You can stream it from PC in the meantime.

Their video says it keeps ink fresh for at least two weeks, which makes me wonder how long it lasts too. That is the biggest sticking point for buying one for me, plus the price, but that is expected of new tech advancements.

Shameless plug: Holopoint (an archery focused dodging arcade game) requires pretty intense movement. It is easy to play a few quick rounds and get heart rate up. A lot of people use it for fitness. The price has come down recently too.

Similar issue with Mammotion directly. I almost feel like they claim water damage as a catch all. The app showed battery overheating warning right before it died and wouldn't come back on. It was a very hot and dry day. It is easy to blame water and move on when you don't have the tools or time to find what component failed. After other failures, I am on my 3rd unit. Replacements have taken time, but after telling them how long it has taken they tend to expedite the case.

I'm not sure I can find a bidirectional 48Gbps rated HDMI that can run 60ft or so. Do you have a product in mind? I'm not sure exactly what length I need at the moment, but that seems far. The Invisilight Fiber @todd0x1 mentioned is probably what I'll go with.

While it does have ethernet, I don't think the LS12000 can do HDBaseT directly. I'd need a box on both ends. The speakers are wireless Sony HT-A9, which I'd prefer to swap for wired if whatever communication method I end up using can support the added bandwidth.

I've found this Orei one at 4K 60hz (currently $300): https://www.orei.com/products/4k-hdmi-over-optical-fiber-extender-with-audio-extraction-and-bi-directional-ir-uhd-fo10-k
And this BZBGear one at 4k 120hz (currently $999) BZBGEAR 8K HDMI 2.1 Extender with IR over Fiber https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1794681-REG/bzbgear_bg_exh_8kf_8k_60fps_4k120_hdmi.html

I think that would be around the 48Gbps mark

That is an interesting idea. Do you have any recommendations for 4k 120hz 10bit HDMI wireless extenders?
Edit: That won't mess up the wifi, wireless audio, etc.
ALMACU
Do you have recommendations for processing hardware (media converters, CWDM mux) that can handle the 4k 120hz, 10-bit color? I imagine I would have one converter for HDMI eARC, one for ethernet toward the screen.. I'm not really sure if anything else is needed.
I currently have an HT-A9 setup for audio because I couldn't run speaker wire well, but maybe I can run half the audio channels across the room via this fiber and split it out on the other end. That is probably too far into the future to solve now.

Wow Invisilight looks like a fantastic idea. I have square posts that run down the walls every 80", but I bet I could still get this around them without bending the fiber too much, especially half way up where it is less noticeable.

Yeah, this house is weird. None of the above exist.
Imagine a space like this, but less visually hectic: https://share.google/EcoEAEyL0nRrdDxaT
• Ceiling: Tongue and grove with 1" of isoboard and then roof deck with no air gap.
• Walls: Drywall seemingly directly on the vapor/sheathing layers and then 1" solid wood clapboard on the other side.. the builder must not have cared about insulation or air gaps. The few spots they ran electrical the walls are built out another two inches, which is an odd choice.
• Floors: Brick on concrete on dirt about 10ft from the water table. I would have included mortar but that is practically non-existent..
•HVAC: comes in from between joists in the loft (projector side). It runs between floors from the far end of the house, and the screen wall has two vents from a large system on exterior of that wall, which is meant to push enough to cool half the house. The vents are clearly undersized for the unit and house.

I would guess that name came up because another subscriber entered that political caller into their contacts as that, and the app used their entry to put a name to the caller for other subscribers. When you crowdsource the data, the data often reflects the crowd.

I'm thinking that I'll prototype an addressable driver that can attach to the base of each light (on the supply wires for the fixture) and convert them to smart lights. It may end up requiring a 3rd wire for signal (unless I up the cost and do radio / wifi). Addressable 12V RGBW drivers with built-in signal repeaters for long runs would be under $5 each for me to make in small batch. Then an IOT microcontroller at the start of the run can handle control.
I would rather find an existing solution, but I don't mind making something.
ALMACU
This looks like a great solution, but it is outside my budget. I'll keep it in mind if things don't pan out.

I have the same issue. The R1T now falls asleep a few minutes (maybe even an hour) into charging, and it just stops charging. I come back later, open the door, and see the screens slowly come on with a charging failed message before the truck resumes charging on its own without me replugging the EVSE.
