I just purchased a D20 Pro Plus because I only needed the vac capabilities but am having regrets and considering returning it (which would be the first time I've ever returned a used item).

It doesn't have curtain zones, so doesn't clean under them.

It blows air out the back, so every time it backs away from something to get a better lidar view, if blows debris from areas it hasn't cleaned (for example, under the curtains it won't go near) into areas it has cleaned.

It's terrible on carpet, which fortunately is just one room, even on max power. I put my 10+ year old Roomba in the same room to redo it after the D20 had finished the Roomba filled its empty bin.

HELL YEAHHH!!

that’s my question .. i assume from their position during that time it’s easier to use their hand to open it versus waiting until they can turn around and operate it with their foot

.. or if no lid just just wrap it well and toss? 🤷‍♂️

to this day my now adult daughters still flush them despite me begging them not to because anything else is gross and that’s what their mom told them to do

i have a waste bin near the toilet but i’ve wondered about the usefulness if it being foot activated .. i imagine a woman’s feet aren’t in the correct place to operate it when they need to without getting up and turning around first

or does it come out before you sit down?

can a woman chime in please?

mareksoon

oh damn you beat me to this

cleaning the base of the toilet and the floor around it ..

saw my first one inside the house at that same age and 50 years later my brain still remembers it looking that large

i switched to 8 and 4 and it’s also much less fatigue on long drives ..

whatever article i had read at the time also suggested shuffle steering instead of hand-over-hand because you also don’t want your arm crossing the steering wheel when the airbag goes off

1987 or so … Marble Madness for my Tandy 1000SX was the first 3.5” media I purchased for my brand new $399 720K 3.5” drive on my brand new Radio Shack credit card. I was 19; it was my first credit card; it maxed the limit they gave me.

I have no memory how long it took me to pay it off …

I was making around $5/hour at that time and about half of my net went to rent ($115) and the other half went to auto loan ($230) and auto insurance (another $230).

Thank god for overtime pay …

It replaced one of the two 5-1/4” drives that came with the system.

At work we were still using a TRS-80 Model II with 8” floppy and no hard drive.

NATE!

brilliant! reducing the number of vehicles on the road by adding a boatload of autonomous/semi-autonomous often empty vehicles!

unless you’re REALLY unlucky and the bulb just happened to pick now to burn out

and yes, after my voltage detector tells me i did indeed turn off the correct breaker, i still run my voltage tester near a live circuit just to be sure it didn’t pick that moment to fail (or the battery to die)

i’ve acquired a 5080 and dropped it into my four year old i7-12700K system with 32MB RAM …

REALLY wishing I splurged for 64 four years ago.

I’ve got it setup and running with help from chatgpt guiding me to the smaller models made for 5080 … and i’m sure some of my issues are due to me still learning things.

it made decent Seinfeld clips with Jerry and George but doesn’t seem to have a clue who other popular characters are from TV shows around the same time (Cheers and ER).

I’ve used reference images with mixed results; one character is usually no problem but two or more seem to mix up their details.

Still having some fun with it and every once in awhile I get a video I’m happy with.

lawsuit millions for me but not for thee

you’ll only land on people in canoes — nbd .. right?

(this has happened, and it was a big deal and it’s fortunate it didn’t paralyze someone or worse)
