I do not trust Eufy brand anymore. We had a Eufy RoboVac and within its warranty period, battery went bust. When attached to its station, it gave some sound errors which is apparently tied to its battery. I contacted support several times, reminded their obligation for warranty period but they did nothing. They asked me to find a "certified technician" to get a report such that this malfunction was present when I made the purchase. I asked what do they want as "certified technician" and where can I get one. They stopped replying. This took a week.

Fortunately I bought the item from Amazon. I issued a dispute and within minutes they created a return label and issued a refund.

I now have a Roomba. I'm pretty happy so far.

I am late to the party but here it goes. Everybody recommends to take care of the team and nurture. But nobody mentions what to do with slackers. Tech leads don't have the authority to hire/fire people but responsible for their performance. If one decides to only give 10% of their time to work, how one can motivate them?

One of the best answers on the whole thread. It is good to know the things I suffer most (no deep work because of interruptions) are quite common. Your post deserves to be much higher on the thread.

Why download is disabled for the spreadsheet?

Sheer amount you make means nothing as your expenses may also be higher. If you live where you are the 2% while making 50k then you would feel it. Otherwise it's dry statistics.

Firefox focus and DDG is the best combination on mobile. Leave no cookies behind.

Hence you don't have a safety net and can't be an entrepreneur. If you can take the chance of getting rich or becoming homeless, good luck with that. Otherwise, 9-5 jobs are the only option.

Can you elaborate? Firefox is product of Mozilla which is a non-profit organization. That's why they need donations.

I don't understand using a browser that is developed by a for-profit company which happens to be their only product. Because of current owners, I would never use Opera.

Firefox is pretty good guys. You should check it out. And also donate.

disclaimer: no association with Mozilla/Firefox in any way.

This should go higher in the thread. I personally didn't know this behavior.
