    Oh man, we played this in computer lab in high school to pass time after we were done with our assignments. I believe it was a java/flash version though (year 2000/2001)

    We have had the X10 Pro Omni for a bit over a year now and we have been enjoying it. A mix of hardwood/carpet. I have it mop 3 times a week and vacuum alternate days. The mopping h…

    I recently had the opposite experience. App was built in older version of React/MUI/CRA/tsc (project started in 2020). I upgraded everything to latest, removed CRA for vite, and it…

    Just a quick note on my comment. We have mostly hardwood floors, so the mopping is really nice. The vacuuming is OK, def not the best. I can see if someone had mostly carpet they w…

    We bought a few in 2018/2019 that are holding up fine. They get more use than our expensive Samsung TV!

    Which Eufy? We got a Eufy X10 Pro that mops/vacuums back in June. We love it. We have an older roomba for a different floor/level, and that thing is always getting stuck on somethi…

    This spring our one year old de-humidifier died. The manufacturer would send you a new replacement unit, but first you had to leave a review of the new unit. After the review was s…

    It is funny how the goalposts moved. > The last product google ever built and launched successfully. Now becomes "it doesn't count if it was an acquisition". Youtube would probably…

    I did the same with my son as well. He got a 76mm Funscope last month, but it has been pretty cloudy. We saw the red band across Jupiter and Saturn's ring. Images were a bit small/…
