Moved into my house in August of last year. Two floors plus a finished basement. Two hvac units, one for the upstairs, another for the main floor and basement. This winter it was a challenge to keep the house warm enough but not break the bank running the heat all the time. The weather is warming up now, high 70's during the day and 60ish or lower at night. The master bedroom gets very warm and wants to stay that way. If I open the windows at night it takes awhile and/or doesn't really cool down. If I turn the AC on (set to 74) it brings it down but it consistently just keeps going back up so every 15-20 minutes and the AC turns back on to bring it back down. This happens most of the night until morning.
What I've done so far.

• New triple pane windows for most the windows on the main floor and open area of the house.
• Energy assessment: Attic insulation check (good), blower test, sealed anything that needed sealing.
• Added some vents to roof and a solar fan
• Added remote thermostats to attic to monitor temp level and ensure it was cooling off by the time night came. Its hot during the day, obviously, but it cools off by nighttime. Initially I assumed my attic was staying hot at night and this was coming into the master bedroom.

Master bedroom is still gaining heat from somewhere even when its cool outside. This bedroom is above the garage. The garage is fairly warm most the time. Garage door may or may not need insulation, been thinking of trying that however its not a thin metal door, instead its probably 1" thick panels so I assume its at least partially insulating. The garage walls are finished with drywall. I cut open one part of its ceiling to take a peek at the insulation and its that yellow insulation that comes in rolls, mineral wool I think its called. It seemed pretty loose in there, meaning I could easily move it up and down as there is free space where it lies. The empty space above the insulation is about equal to the thickness of the insulation.
It would be nice to not have the AC be running all night especially when its cold enough outside that open windows should be sufficient.
Hypothesis:
The insulation in the ceiling of the garage is not sufficient. Heat from the garage continues to slowly rise thru the ceiling all night and work its way into the master bedroom.
Solution?:
Get better insulation in at least the ceiling of the garage, maybe its walls too. Locally I could not find any one that does injection foam for finished walls but I did find someone that would cut away sections and blow in fiberglass insulation. Seems like this should at least help.
I'm fine spending the money on getting the insulation switched out however, I'm just looking for some reassurance that it will solve the issue. I've spent a decent amount of money on this already and don't want to choose the wrong solution again.
I'm considering renting a FLIR camera from Home Depot and seeing if that can help validate my hypothesis. What would I look for if I did? Should the floor appear warm in the Master bedroom? should the ceiling appear warm in the garage? Any tips on using one of these to find the issue?
Really appreciate any help/input on this. Thanks in advance.

I am a causal fan!! Im sorry if the points I’m offering aren’t the most nuanced, I thought this would be an interesting conversation.
We are obviously talking about very different situations and two very different players but I thought it would be interesting to think about.
Brown, with recency bias in mind, struggled in the elimination game against the Heat which has soured many people’s perspective of him. Regardless, he is still an All NBA Second team player and has a very high ceiling. But this brings the issue of having two super max contracts being tied up with Tatum and Brown, limiting the flexibility of maintaining a deep roster. Keeping in mind the possibility of him being traded, it’s likely that the Celtics don’t get a package in return that will return Brown’s value.
AD is great…when’s he on the floor. Since their championship season he has missed an average of 35 games every season, and can be viewed as one of the reasons that the Lakers have underperformed. Ignoring this, even his inconsistency in the playoffs can be a cause of concern.
Something else to consider is that these teams have championship aspirations, but are running on different timelines. The Celtics offer a younger core with an extended window, while the Lakers are on a more “LeBron focused” window, meaning that their championship goals seem based on his performance/ability to play at a high level as an aging star.

• What are your goals for your car audio system - as loud as possible (SPL)? Sound quality (SQ)? Some combination of both? Describe to us how you want your system to sound.

Just want a nice quality sound system that is compatible with Carplay Wireless. It's mostly going to be used with Spotify. The current stereo is terrible, easily the worst sounding stock stereo I have ever owned. It doesn't have bluetooth, so I've used an an adapter, but the aux jack stopped working, and after leaving the top down and sleeping through a rainstorm, even the radio has stopped working. (Although it managed to make it through a few of those.)

• What vehicle? - year, make, model, type (coupe, sedan, SUV, truck, etc.)

2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. No Alpine system.

• What is your maximum budget? Prefer to keep it under $500ish. This is mostly a function of not wanting to lose too much if somebody steals it.

• Will you be installing the gear or are you going to a shop? If a shop is doing the work, does your budget include the cost of labor?

I honestly don't know. I could do it myself. Wouldn't be the first time. I see Best Buy will do it for free, plus the cost of the install kit and steering wheel control adapters, and that seems too good to be true. Would like any advice on that.

• What gear is in your existing system? (Is it stock? List any aftermarket gear.)

Stock everything.

• What is your country of purchase? Leave any finishing thoughts here.

US. I've always been a fan of Pioneer. I don't need CDs, DVDs, or anything fancy. Just want it to place music and play it relatively well. This is a vehicle that's pretty noisy as it's got a soft top. My biggest concern is I don't want to go spend $1200 only to find somebody has stolen the stereo when I come out of work. For that reason I don't want something really obvious, and I don't want anything that I will be crying too much over replacing. Thank you very much. I'd really like to get a stereo in there so I can start listening to music again. Would also like to know if there's any recommendations on where to buy. I've always just used Crutchfield or Best Buy.

Yeah it's dumb logic, but as my current build is almost 8 years old and starting to get to that point where I'm below minimum spec on new games coming out it needed a redo anyway. Just a year or so sooner than I thought. Only thing on my horizon right now is Dragons Dogma 2 anyway and who knows what the specs for that will be, though I can't imagine I'll have any problems with what I've listed here.
Just posting for a general sanity/savings/wtf did I not think of check that really needs a second pair of eyes
Budget: ~$3,000 AUD (approx 2000usd, but also australia tax)
Will mostly be used for gaming at 1440/60 fps (using a TV mostly, hence the framerate), as well as some AI art gen (12gb wanted for that and general use), and hopefully getting back into 3D modelling (though not rendering), but I am hoping for this to last me many years until a forced upgrade, like my current one.
But that budget is for a complete setup redo as by chance in the last six months I've also had my mouse scroll wheel break, my cat smacked one of my screens and damaged it, and my keyboard is having issues I can't fix without potentially learning to solder.
And I don't want any RGB or fancy features so all that has been excluded here.

Don't need an OS as I'll be transferring Win 10 from my current system.
Already brought some parts because as I said, I was planning on just migrating to a new case so I got what I needed for that so bugger on the sata instead of the m.2 but oh well.
And no I'm not an MSI fanboy, it just turns out the motherboard is on a huge sale, the 6750xt are somewhat hard to come by here and the Gigabyte and ASUS models I've heard reports of coil whine which leaves this one, and the screens are a nice upgrade to what I have now while being 40 bucks cheaper per screen then the next model up I was looking at.

Main points of concern:

• CPU cooler

I went Noctua just because of reliability and low noise, but was also tossing up the Dark Rock Pro 4. I heard the Dark Rock is hard to install, but is it that much of an issue, and is it really going to be quieter than the Noctua?
Other recommendations welcome, minimal noise is a focus along with good enough cooling for 13th gen

• Motherboard

I don't technically need a z790 as I doubt I'll overclock the CPU (and from what I understand it's not that needed any more), but I would like in built bluetooth as I'm sick of the issues that come with a usb dongle, and I also need at least five usb ports in the back, as well as preferably two M.2 slots.
Given the other options out there, and this one being on a significant sale, it seemed like a good offer while looking that little bit better thanks to the I/O shroud. I also want to stay away from ASUS due to having had issues with them in the past (funny timing given AMD events) and Gigabyte both due to their security issues and an alarming amount of refurbished models I'm finding on aus sites which raised alarm bells, unless you think that's not an issue.

• Power Supply

Is being reused from my current build unless you think that's an issue. It's still within it's 10yr warranty (not that know where the receipt is) and it is EVGA and known for being reliable.

• Video Card

First time using AMD. Anything worth knowing first? I know the odd game has weird issues with it (Prototype won't render shadows for example) but from what I know that's the rare exception and modern games have no issues?
Think that about covers it. Thanks for any input guys.

We hired a handy man that has a website that says he is licensed and insured to renovate our kitchen and bathroom. Bathroom includes electrical and replacing a toilet as well as replacing vanity faucets and shower fixtures. Kitchen is a complete demo of ceiling, peninsula, addition of external venting for new hood fan and removal and replacement of cabinets. Kitchen work is ok so far. Bathroom vanity was installed too large and too close to toilet violating 15” off center code. I posted pics to social media asking for opinions on paint colors and was alerted to the code violation. (Our house is identical to neighbor unit and i can get the pre-demo measurements proving it was in code before.As handyman is claiming it wasn’t.) Prior to work starting we were told we did not need to obtain any permits by handman if we did project in two stages.Not being in construction we believed him. After social media toilet issues I called the city regarding codes. I found lots of info regarding permits etc. I began to suspect that handyman isnt licensed and did a search with county and state. Nothing came up. He also admitted to using unlicensed subs in text convos i have saved. He claimed he was saving us money. At no time was this discussed, him using unlicensed people in our home. I reasonably assumed that as he was licensed so his subs would be also. Upstairs vanity also made too large. He has agreed to fix that. He is baulking at fixing the lower bathroom as quartz is already installed and he said no one will eat that cost. The last communication we had with him we informed him all work upstairs would need to be permitted. He responded with an increase in price that would incur. I questioned why and he brought up the subs. He said the workers he had here were his friends. I questioned why this was so. I have saved all text covos from him. Additionally his invoices list another company that has an extremely poor bbb rating. When i googled the owner of that company it is mentioned that this man who is a general contractor lets others use/rent his license. Thats illegal as I understand the law. We have paid roughly 70k for the downstairs and he has 10k deposit for work on upstairs not yet started. He still has an outstanding punch-list of things to do on main floor. We plan to get everything permitted ourselves that he did. I did sign off on the cabinet drawings. He is using that as leverage for downstairs incorrect size. However as he is unlicensed i believe he cannot enter into contracts and i believe that may void the drawing approval. I want my downstairs bathroom brought to code my punch list finished and my 10k returned. I also want any permit penalties i incur for filing after the fact covered. He owns a home locally and has kids in school here. His wife grew up here and his father and brother live here. He has lived here for 15 years at least. I don’t think packing up and running is likely with his extensive community ties.

This drama is mainly about the events of Season 7/World Championship 7 (WC7), the season of Battlebots that aired in 2023. Big spoilers for the season inbound, including the overall winner, along with spoilers of the outcomes and winners of previous seasons.
I will try my hardest to be unbiased which is hard because I am extremely biased and any attempt to be unbiased could only come across as enlightened centrism. I will simply try to keep the bias to a manageable level.

Battlebots

In case you don't know, Battlebots (well, combat robotics, but Battlebots is the most well-known and publicized event by an order of magnitude) is a... sport? Game? Hobby? Lifestyle? Where the goal is to throw two robots of a comparable weight against each other, with the goal to destroy each other. Battlebots itself is in the heavyweight category, with a 250 lb weight limit per robot. Other popular weight classes (relatively popular - heavyweight is the only televised one) are antweight (1 lb), beetleweight (3 lb), hobbyweight (12 lb), and lightweight (30 lb.) Battlebots itself airs on Discovery, generally with a main season and a spinoff season each year.
If you watched Battlebots back in the late 90s when it was on Comedy Central, you might remember robots that were basically big wedges pushing each other around a square and maybe occasionally taking a bit of armor off. That's not how it is anymore. Bots are destructive, powerful, and great spectacles to watch fight. Seriously, you should watch Battlebots. It's on Discovery+ and HBO Max. If you don't want to spend the money, Norwalk National Havoc Robotics League (NHRL) has competitions every few months that are livestreamed for free on Youtube in the smaller weight classes.
In case it's not clear from the write-up, Battlebots is filmed usually in the fall, and the season airs spring the next year. So all of the events in this write-up occurred over a 2-week period in OctobeNovember 2022, but only were public drama as the episodes aired January-May 2023. Much like any reality/game show, all the builders, production, etc. knew the outcome of the season before anything aired, there's just millions of dollars of NDAs.

The Culture

Something interesting about Battlebots that might surprise those unfamiliar with it is the culture. While teams work as hard as they can to reduce the other robot to splintered scrap in the box, back in the pits everyone is super awesome and nice and kind and helpful - a frequent occurrence is going to the pit of the bot you just took apart and seeing if there is any way you can help with the rebuild.
The classic example is in the 2021 season, when the iconic Witch Doctor's weapon disk kept breaking due to poor quality steel. They were scrambling to find material and resources to machine a new disk, when a ton of teams came together to save their season.
Team Sporkinok (yes, that's a trans Battlebot) lent them their pickup truck, to go pick up steel from a nearby supplier who was found by the captain of Team Blacksmith.
They needed to recreate the failure to figure out was wrong, so Team Shatter (the biggest, strongest hammer-bot in the competition) took their robot to the test box to try and break a disk.
They took the steel to the nearby build space of Team Chomp, who stayed up all night on their waterjet to cut new disks (the new disks worked well, by the way.)
After the season, they still didn't know for sure what the cause was, so they worked with Team Hypershock to create a dummy test robot, modeled after the very durable robot (and future 2022 champs) Tantrum, they could test the old disks on. They then sent the broken disks to a materials science lab run by a friend of the captain of Team Tantrum to perform materials analysis.
Many of these teams had fought Witch Doctor in the past, others would fight them in the future. But that doesn't matter - in robot combat, everyone is friends outside the box.
Right?

Riptide

Every year there are of course rookie bots competing for the first time. Sometimes from veteran teams and builders, such as last year's Blip (from the creators of Tantrum), or this year's RIPperoni, from former members of the teams behind Uppercut and P1, but just as often from new builders, at least new to heavyweight (almost nobody starts out with with the robots that can cost as much as a new car.)
One of these 'new-to-heavyweight' rookies last year was Riptide, captained by Ethan Kurtz (the guy with the "you know I had to do it to em" pose.) Ethan had found a good amount of success previously with the beetleweight Rival, and Riptide was basically Rival writ 80 times bigger. Riptide had a pretty good first season, winning 2 out of their 3 qualifying fights and making it to the quarterfinals before losing to the extremely good SawBlaze.
No real controversy, aside from a false start and early hit on HUGE in their first fight - written off as "I'm fighting a heavyweight on Battlebots for the first time" nerves, no hard feelings from anyone, not even HUGE. They also gave fan-favorite (formerly) indestructible brick Duck! such a bad thrashing that Duck! permanently retired after that fight (Duck! was having a bad year anyway, that fight was just the icing on the cake.)
Their success led to them co-winning Rookie of the Year alongside Glitch, who won an amazing 7 fights in a row, a feat only done before by 3-time championship winner and undisputed GOAT Bite Force (Glitch had to bow out of the tournament because their bot had taken irreparable damage despite the victories, but it's possible they could have extended it even further.) Riptide became well known for Ethan screaming "LET'S GO!" (or sometimes, "LET'S F------ GO"!", giving the censors a bit of a workout and annoying production) after big wins.
So coming into season 8, their sophomore year, hopes are high for Riptide and people want to see this breakout star do well, right? After all, there's no big controversy in their funding or anything, is there?

Stan Kurtz

Stan is the bald dude next to Ethan in the team picture. He's Ethan's dad, and also one of the main sponsors for the team through his company BeCourageous. Where did Stan Kurtz get his money to sponsor a big team? Well, he once had a company named RevitaPOP. RevitaPOP made vitamin B12 lollipops. If you know anything about 'alternative medicine,' this is where you say "oh no."
Stan Kurtz was once upon a time the president of Generation Rescue. Yes, that Generation Rescue, the Jenny McCarthy 'vaccines-cause-autism' one. He was instrumental in getting the 'movement' off the ground in the first place - I even seem to recall seeing a link to a talk he did where he said he was backstage for McCarthy's interview with Larry King, but I'm not about to sift through hours of his horrid talks and speeches to find it.
Stan Kurtz sold lollipops that he claimed cured autism, autism that he and his organization claimed was caused by vaccines. In fact, he claimed they even cured his son Ethan's autism! Remember this when you read about Ethan's behavior - it's not an excuse, but "autistic but prevented from going to any kind of therapy or anything because it would make his dad look like a liar" is certainly an explanation.
Let me divest into opinion for a sec. Stan Kurtz is evil. There is a direct line between the actions of Stan Kurtz promoting vaccine denalism and snake oil cures, and dead children. Fuck Stan Kurtz. Every other problem with Team Riptide could be overlooked if they did not have this dude as their primary sponsor (which necessarily would require replacing Ethan as captain, because you can't separate him from his dad financially.) Okay, back to the writeup.
But put a pin in "Riptide's captain and his dad are antivaxxers" - it's a surprise tool that will help us later.

Riptide in WC7

Fight 1: Glitch

Aside from that, people didn't have that much of an opinion on Riptide going in to WC7 (and even that wasn't too widely known until partway through the season.) Generally, there was a feeling of "let's see if they can keep it up" - often a lot of very promising rookie bots have weak second seasons. They started the season fighting Glitch, to see who was truly better. One hit, weapon-on-weapon, and Glitch fucking died. Upside down, weapon not spinning, no way to self-right.
Team Glitch asked Riptide to hit them again try to flip them back over, maybe knock some life back into the bot. Not an uncommon thing, but sometimes it backfires. Riptide did, launched Glitch across the box, and now Glitch was super-dead. Instant, extremely decisive knockout for Riptide. No drama yet.

Fight 2: MaD CatTer

Now on to the second fight. This one was against MaD CatTer, consisting of community college professor Martin Mason (goatee in the middle) and his students. Martin Mason is known for his intentionally cheesebally and over-the-top Macho Man imitation/homage, with lots of pointing at the camera and saying "Oh yeah!" Also by all regards the nicest man on planet Earth and one of the most beloved figures in combat robotics.
Of note is MaD CatTer's driver, Calvin Iba (guy beneath Martin's pointing hand.) Calvin Iba is one of the few builders better known for his smaller robot - his robot Lynx is the winningest beetleweight of all time, with an incredible 11 tournament wins, 8 undefeated, and an overall record of 86-11 as of December 2022 (and several events since then, but I can't find overall fight records of those events.) Now, Lynx is a very similar design to Rival (and therefore Riptide) - Lynx predates Rival by a few months, but the design is relatively generic and common at lower weight classes so it's not exactly plagarism.
This is relevant because Battlebots production tried to stir up drama, painting Calvin as angry that Ethan copied his bot and scaled it up to 250lb before Calvin could himself. For what it's worth Calvin did play into it a bit (he brought Lynx to the fight), but by all regards there aren't really any serious hard feelings about that. "Beater bars" (the weapon style of Riptide/Lynx/Rival) predate all three bots. Worth noting that Rival lost to Lynx in a brutal slugfest in the semifinals match of NHRL a few years ago, so maybe Ethan had a bit of a revenge arc more than anything.
On to the fight. MaD CatTer is a pretty serious bot - not most people's favorite to win it all, but a 'serious contender for semifinals' kind of bot - so nobody knew how this would go. It was back and forth for... about 10 seconds, then Riptide got one good hit and did not let up. MaD CatTer got taken apart like they never had before, left a smoking mess, stuck sideways against the arena wall, knocked out within a minute. Riptide then drove around a bit and punted pieces of MaD CatTer around the box, which got them a warning from the ref for being unsafe and for doing unnecessary damage to perfectly salvageable components of MaD CatTer. The team apologized later for that, saying they wouldn't do it again. Remember that.
Okay, two rapid knockouts against serious bots. Riptide is definitely not suffering from the sophomore curse. But in the post-fight interview, we did get a little taste of Ethan being a bit of a jerk - basically dismissed Calvin/Lynx as worse Riptide, and put his hand over Martin's mouth (without Martin's permission) as a way of saying "shut up wrestler man!" Could have been funny, but it came across as somewhat mean-spirited and Martin clearly was not cool with it (and Martin Mason is not a sore loser - he spends almost every post-fight interview gushing about how good the other robot is, even if MaD CatTer loses.) Production asked Calvin what he thought, and he said (while holding Lynx) "well, I designed this robot to be unbeatable, it's a great robot to base it off of. Good job." Good comeback.

Fight 3: Captain Shrederator

Captain Shrederator is a longtime veteran, being one of the few robots (alongside Witch Doctor, Hypershock, and Lock-Jaw) who has competed in all 7 seasons of the reboot. And they've competed for even longer - under various names and throughout various small tweaks, Captain Shrederator is basically the same robot as Phrizbee, from original Battlebots Season 3.0 in 2001. They're not exactly good by any modern standard, to be honest, but they're fun and an institution of the show. Worth noting that leading up to this fight, Nick Nave (son of Shrederator captain Brian Nave and a member of the team) had been hinting at possible controversy around this fight for a few weeks beforehand on the subreddit, so people were ready for some shit.
So going in, everyone expects Riptide to win. Here's a bot that made MaD CatTer look like a middleweight, versus a team with, at the time, a 6-18 career record. Riptide can't be complacent because even Shrederator can do some damage if you let it (by some metrics, Shrederator may have the most powerful weapon in the competition), but it's their fight to lose. Ethan Kurtz explains his strategy in an interview before the fight - get some big hits that flip Shrederator over. Once they're upside-down, they can't self-right and they'll be counted out. Makes sense, a solid, quick, safe, easy way to win. Well, watch the fight here if you can.
If you can't, I will summarize: It starts off with Shrederator dodging Riptide and spinning up, until eventually Riptide gets a solid hit that breaks a piece of Shrederator's shell off and destabilizes them. One more big hit from Riptide and Shrederator lands upside-down - it's over. Well, no. Riptide then goes in and hits them again before they can be counted out. And again. And again. And again. At this point Shrederator is basically completely dead, but it's still able to spin. Shrederator's team calls over to Riptide "yo, stop it we're dead already." Riptide hits Shrederator again. Riptide's weapon operator tells Ethan to hit him again. And so he does. And one more time, as sparks fly out of Shrederator's pulverized electronics. Riptide leaves Shrederator dead on the floor, as they go and, you guessed it, punt shrapnel around the box. At this point the referee has to physically take the controller from Ethan (while the rest of team Riptide tries to stop the ref.)
Of course this is a KO for Riptide, but in doing so they did around $10,000 worth of extra, unnecessary damage to Shrederator, and almost the entire bot had to be thrown out and rebuilt from spares. Riptide was not apologetic (and in fact later Ethan would gloat to the camera over how Team Shrederator hadn't even tried to rebuild their bot.) No members of Team Riptide helped Shrederator rebuild either, though one did offer. (It wasn't Ethan, Stan, or the weapon operator Sid.)
To say this was controversial to the community would be lying. Controversy requires some argument or debate. There was none - everyone thought Riptide went way too far. Riptide later tried to say "we interpreted their spinning as intent to keep fighting, and we couldn't hear them asking us to stop." Which was seen by most of the community as a load of crap, since Ethan had said to the camera that he didn't need to do those late hits just before the fight, and teams are bantering with each other in fights all the time. Riptide was formally warned by the ref again for this fight.
At this point, the editors I guess realized that controversy sells. In almost every remaining episode of the season, even ones where Riptide didn't fight, they had some clip of Riptide, or Ethan, or something else to rub in "these guys are really mean and have a good bot, wHaT iF tHeY wIn???" Very much a 'whenver Riptide's not on screen, all the other robots should be asking "Where's Riptide?"' situation. It got old very fast (read: instantly.)

Fight 4: Black Dragon

You want to talk about beloved teams, you have to mention Black Dragon. This Brazilian team is known for two things - their plush duck, which they won in a claw machine the first time they came to the US for a competition and have kept as a good luck charm ever since, and their durability - they had gone a near-record 24 matches without ever getting knocked out, winning all of those fights or losing by judge's decision. Leading up to this fight, Battlebots kept having segments showing how Black Dragon had almost surpassed Bite Force for the "most fights without a KO" streak (Bite Force was never KO'd in its entire 4-season career, going 26-1 with 1 lost JD.) Of course, then they had to fight Riptide.
This fight was probably the least controversial Riptide fight of the season - you can watch it here. Riptide went in and did not let up, unrelenting, leading to the Brazilian bot suffering their first ever KO in under a minute. Riptide was actually pretty chill in the post-fight interview, very respectful towards Black Dragon - I guess that ref warning stuck. For now. With that, Riptide advanced to 4-0 in the qualifiers, and ended up securing themselves the #2 overall seed (behind the undefeated Brazilian monster Minotaur, a favorite to win it all every season and the season 3 runner-up.)

Round of 32: Shatter

For those who don't know, Battlebots has a series of qualifying fights (this year, 4 fights per bot) to determine, out of the contenders (50 this year), which 32 get to compete in the tournament for the Giant Nut, and where they will be seeded. As the #2 seed, Riptide got to fight the #31 seed - hammer-bot Shatter, who you saw earlier helping Witch Doctor. Now, let me not mince words - Shatter was fucked. To paraphrase a comment I saw, "If Shatter drives like a god, gets the most perfect hammer shots ever, and in general is the best a hammer has ever looked in the history of hammers... they will still lose." There was no way Shatter could ever, ever win, barring some kind of catastrophic self-induced failure from Riptide. But damn it, Shatter captain Adam Wrigley was sure as hell going to try.
Now, for more info, the bots have rules that govern what you can do. There's a lot, but 2 are relevant - strict 250 lb weight limit, and the tip speed of a spinning weapon cannot exceed 250 mph. Bots are weighed before each fight to confirm the weight limit, and all bots with spinners have to do tip speed tests in the test box. After the weigh-in, you cannot modify or work on your bot in any way without the approval of production and safety. Not for anything. Maybe a sticker if you want.
So when a Shatter team member found Riptide working on their bot in the tunnel leading from the pits just before the fight, questions were had, and team Shatter demanded Riptide be reweighed and tip speed retested (there were rumors in the pits that they were spinning faster than 250mph.) The team later explained they were attaching a plastic hammer to the robot to mimic Shatter (teams doing funny decorative mods to their bot to mimic the other bot is a longstanding tradition.) All evidence seemed to point to that being the case, so nobody thinks they were lying about it, but it still warranted a reweigh. My opinion - that's fine, but tell production. If people think you're going to do something illegal, and you do something legal but in a way that looks illegal, don't be surprised when people think you're doing something illegal.
I will note that the show made a big deal out of how when Riptide was weighed before they were 'caught,' they weighed in at 250 lb, and the re-weighing said they were 248. There was some concern from Shatter about that, not helped by Stan Kurtz being kind of smug back to them. In response to one Shatter member asking "Why is it 248 now and 250 before?", Stan responded "You're right, there's something wrong. We made it lighter." Now, the thing with this is that there are multiple scales, they're not extremely precise, and if anyone has ever worked with industrial scales before you know how easily they come out of calibration. Some builders have said that whether or not the AC was on could add a pound of weight from the airflow. The "250lb" scale was not the same as the "248lb" scale as well. Generally, nobody really thinks there is something up with the weight, but working on the bot post-weigh-in absolutely warrants a reweigh, no matter who it is.
Riptide complained a lot about it, to the point where the word "whiney" comes to mind. You messed up, teams are meant to tell production before they add decorative stuff and you didn't, so you need to be reweighed. You've already pissed people off in the past so don't be surprised when they give you a bit more scrutiny. Take your lumps, apologize, act like adults, and maybe people will give you the benefit of the doubt next time. Instead, there was a lot of "oh boo is me, we're being discriminated against" - a direct quote from Ethan is "their paranoia is affecting our performance, I think it's really uncool that they did this." Granted, if the scale drifted the other way and they had to lose 2lb of armor to satisfy the arbitrary scale drift, I would get it more, but as it is they just look, well, whiney.
At this time, unbeknownst to anyone until they revealed it on a livestream, Team Whyachi (the team behind the powerful flipper Hydra, engine of (self-)destruction Fusion, and Comedy Central-era legend Son of Whyachi, who had the pit next to Riptide, was asked by production to put a spy camera up to make sure everything was above board. Allegedly they also began doing analysis of the audio and video of the actual fights, to make sure teams (read: one team) weren't cheating and spinning faster than the "maximum speed" they did in the test box.
However, aside from the (explainable, acceptable) scale drift, Riptide was not found to be cheating with tip speed or anything else. Shatter accepted this without complaint - they just wanted to be sure. So, that's out of the way. Ethan basically said "they are paranoid and are trying to ruin us so we will crush them" - fair enough, I suppose. Here's the fight (note: this video includes the entire 'weigh-in' drama before the fight if you want to watch it instead of just reading about it.) For what it's worth, Shatter lasted longer than anyone yet against Riptide - almost 2 minutes - but it went the way everyone expected. The most unexpected thing was in the post-fight, where Ethan basically said "Adam is a paranoid loser" (alongside, allegedly, some more personal insults that got cut), then went in for a "sporting" handshake. Unsurprisingly, Adam refused it.
Now, Adam is basically the "union rep" for the builders - he's the guy chosen (by the builders) to represent them when Battlebots is thinking about changing the rules. He is a very widely respected guy and is by all accounts very sporting and nice. So when you've pissed him off enough that he refuses the handshake (only the second refused handshake in modern Battlebots history, as far as I am aware), you know you fucked up. But either way, Riptide is on to the round of 16.

Round of 16: Hypershock

You saw Hypershock earlier. They're quite good - definitely a contender, though generally not going to be anyone's main pick to win it all. This year, they were the #18 seed after a rough set of qualifiers, fighting 2021 champs End Game, 2021 runner-up Whiplash, perennial contender SawBlaze, and the confusingly fast Claw Viper (seriously watch this, look how fast that boy is.) But after a solid win over #15 seed Lucky, they were on to the round of 16.
When I say Hypershock is a fan favorite, I mean they are the fan favorite - between their iconic style, aggressive driving, and captain Will Bales's humor and charisma, it's probably not wrong to say Hypershock is the most popular bot and team around. People love Hypershock, and people don't love Riptide, so this fight had a lot of "save us, O-Will Bales Kenobi, you're our only hope" energy with the community. Leading up to this, Will said in an interview that Riptide was good, but every team can't be good forever, and that someday Ethan will experience, in Will's words, a "humbling event."
But Hypershock wasn't the odds-on favorite here - Will Bales's flashy driving tends to lead to errors, and against something as nasty as Riptide, any error is death. The full fight isn't uploaded, but here's a clip of the post-fight highlight reel. Will started out doing a 'box rush' (charging straight at the other bot as soon as the fight starts), only to attempt to dodge to the side. Unfortunately, this led to him powersliding directly into Riptide's weapon, losing a wheel, and getting flipped over.
Now, the thing with vertical spinners in Battlebots is they spin 'up' - this means that the outer side goes up and the inner side goes down, so you can brace your own bot against the floor and send the other one flying. Now Hypershock is upside down, effectively spinning 'down,' so the energy from hits pushes the other bot down and themselves up. Riptide is spinning 'up' as normal. Both of these are extremely powerful weapons. Both want to send Hypershock into the air. So what happens when they collide? The energy of both weapons goes into sending Hypershock flying up over 25 feet and slamming into the ceiling of the Battlebox. Remember that that thing weighs 250 pounds. To quote Will in the post-fight interview, "nobody has ever been hit like that before." Much to the chagrin of Hydra captain Jake Ewert, who had the goal of being the first-ever bot to send another bot into the ceiling (and came within inches in their fight against Deathroll), Riptide made Battlebots history here.
The rest of the fight goes as expected at this point and Hypershock is KO'd, with Riptide moving into the quarterfinals. Sorry Will, you aren't the humbling event this time.

Quarterfinals: Copperhead

It's the final episode of the season - the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals are all in one episode. People are spooked because Riptide is a incredible, powerful bot built and driven by shitty people, and nobody wants them to win but they might. But to go any further, they have to beat Copperhead.. This snake-themed bot is probably best known for getting a new captain almost every year, and this year it's Luke Quintal in charge for his first time. They just came off of an insanely dominant upset over 2021 champs End Game.
Luke has said that he was too focused on Copperhead to pay attention to the controversy, so he became aware of it when, leading up to this fight, builders kept coming up to him and whispering in his hear "dude, you have to beat Riptide. You have to beat them. You might be our last hope." He's just a first-year captain/driver, with the oldest bot in the competition (Copperhead has had the same two frames for its entire 4-year career - this is the longest any frame has competed in the history of modern Battlebots without replacement), who's had to have back-to-back fights against rookie of the year Ripperoni, 2018 Most Destructive winner ROTATOЯ, and End Game. No pressure.
Now, people have tried ways to beat Riptide. You can't just tank their hits with a durable bot (Black Dragon.) You can't outdrive them with fancy footwork (Hypershock.) But something nobody has been man insane enough to try is to go weapon-to-weapon on purpose to break Riptide's weapon. Copperhead just went weapon-to-weapon with End Game and broke theirs. Copperhead is durable enough to take those huge hits Riptide deals out. So their strategy is to just go berserk until something breaks. But there's one major plot twist left.
Remember how I said the Kurtzes are anti-vaxxers? Well, the pandemic is still going on. In order to get into the pits, you either had to be double-vaxxed or test negative every day. Well, there's no confirmation that Ethan was or was not vaxxed (but let's be real), but guess what? In the greatest Chekhov's gun in Battlebots history, he tested positive for COVID the day of the Copperhead fight. Riptide is out their driver for their biggest fight ever.
Other builders have confirmed that this was not the first or only time that team members had to miss days due to testing positive, but previous times either 1) did not involve the drivers, or 2) were in the qualifying rounds where fights could be postponed to following days. But neither was the case this time. Now, this is really a shitty situation for Riptide, and I do feel some degree of pity for them - what a thing to happen. But at the same time, lmao.
Riptide has to spend most of the day deciding who would drive the robot in the fight. The first person they ask? Jack Barker, driver of End Game and 2021 world champion. Jack agreed - can you blame him? Riptide is a hell of a bot, probably super fun to drive, and who knows, maybe he could win another Giant Nut. This got as far as Jack driving Riptide around the test box, before Luke found out and was like "hang on, no. He's not on your team. It's not fair that you can just go to the best driver in the pits and ask them to drive for you." Production agreed and hastily made a new rule where the driver has to be a member of the team. This all was not in the episode, and was only revealed by Luke Quintal after the season aired.
Team Riptide then deliberated between the several members of the team who might stand a chance. They eventually decide on team member Felix Jing, who's an award-winning Vex Robotics driver but has never driven a heavyweight before. Felix seemed to be a nice enough guy, and pretty humble. However, in the deliberations over who would drive, they lose time and are unable to replace their damaged weapon from the Hypershock fight.
So the fight. Riptide box rushes Copperhead, and the first weapon-to-weapon sends Copperhead flying. Luke's bot is still going, though, and goes in for another clash. This goes on for a few hits, until a massive hit sends Copperhead flying up and Riptide flying back - but when they come to, Copperhead's weapon is spinning... and Riptide's weapon is cracked down the middle, exactly what Copperhead was aiming for.
Copperhead does not let up and keeps hitting, eventually ripping about a quarter of Riptide's weapon off completely. However, the damage from the last 4 years of fighting added up. Those big hits from Riptide were the final straw - one of Copperhead's two wheels just falls off. Copperhead can still move, just about, on just one wheel, but suddenly this fight got a lot closer. They keep hitting Riptide, but it goes to the judges after the full 3 minutes.
It's a split decision. Battlebots is scored on an 11-point system - 5 points for damage, and 3 each for aggression and control.
All three judges gave Copperhead three damage points to Riptide's two and Riptide two control points to Copperhead's one.
The first judge scored aggression 2-1 for Copperhead. 6-5 Copperhead.
The second judge scored aggression 2-1 for Riptide. 6-5 Riptide.
The third judge scored aggression 2-1 for the winner...
Copperhead!
They did it, they saved the goddamn universe. We will not have to live in a world where the ur-anti-vaxxer and his dickhead kid win Battlebots. Everyone is fucking ecstatic. I cheered. The audience cheered. God probably cheered. And boy, did the pits cheer - some builders have said this was the biggest celebration in the pits they had ever seen. Tim Rackley of Monsoon (big lad with the flag) apparently was picking Luke up and carrying him around the pits cheering. Riptide is out.
It's a pity Ethan wasn't there to experience his 'humbling event' in person, but it happened. He was there on a video call on a tablet - apparently, production did ask him how he felt and he went on a 5-minute rant about how the team was being forced to face jealousy and adversity because they had to get reweighed. The entire rant was cut from the episode that aired. I've seen conflicting reports if he said "if I was there we would have won," but it would be in character if he did.
Team Riptide used their appeal (each team gets one) to ask the judges to re-review the fight - they did (absolutely fair - you have nothing to lose, anyone should appeal in this situation), and as though to rub it in even more, the sole judge who ruled for Riptide changed his mind about Riptide's aggression, giving Copperhead a unanimous JD. The saga of Riptide in WC7 ends here.

Aftermath

There was zero drama of any kind for the rest of the season (all 3 fights of it.) All the fights were great, clean fights between respected and respectful teams and robots. Copperhead ended up losing to HUGE in the semi-finals - no surprise or shame there, HUGE is designed to be invincible to bots like Copperhead. HUGE ended up facing the mighty SawBlaze in the finals, and in probably the best finals match in combat robotics history, SawBlaze managed to win a unanimous JD, giving SawBlaze captain Jamison Go the Giant Nut.
Literally zero people were unhappy with this - both Jamison and HUGE captain Jonathan Schultz are some of the nicest, most genuine, humble builders in the sport, and going into the finals it was very much a "no matter who wins we all win" kind of thing. Both bots are also "non-meta" - "meta" being the general form of bot that Hypershock, Riptide, Witch Doctor, Copperhead, etc. are, a compact vertical spinner - seasons 3-6 saw meta bots win both first place and runner-up, so people were excited to see a finals match with something new on both sides.
This was very recent, so no news if Riptide will be invited back next year. I would be shocked if they weren't, though - controversy sells, and regardless of how bad the team is, the robot is a killing machine that makes for incredible spectacles. There is allegedly a "sportsmanship rule" being added next year - it's a pity that something that has gone unspoken for decades has to codified in rules because of the actions of one team, but hopefully it will help. Between unethical sponsors, destroying fan favorite bots, being rude both inside and outside the box, cheating allegations, and a stunning lack of humility, Riptide really checked all the boxes in the 'bad guys' field this year.
I could say "the viewing community is willing to give Riptide one more chance to apologize and redeem themselves" but that would be a lie. For the most part, the subreddit, main Discord, etc. are all sick and tired of ever seeing the team again, and would love nothing more than for some cool, nice builder to hijack the bot so we can have cool robots and cool people. I don't know how the builders feel - I imagine that they're probably not quite as vehemently opposed to the team on average, but there's probably no love lost.
I enjoyed writing this up quite a lot, because it really was a classic "villain defeats the main good guys, but then the underdog comes out of nowhere and saves the day" story. Also Battlebots rules. Feel free to ask me anything about the show, or any bots, or if you want to see some cool bots that I didn't include. And seriously, watch Battlebots, it's so good. Check out /battlebots - it's the off-season, so the shitposts are about to get real good. I'm running out of characters so the collection of miscellaneous facts I originally had stuck on the end of this writeup is going to be in the comments.

While Paramount has announced no streaming plans at this time, big-budget blockbusters like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts typically become available on streaming roughly ninety days after their theatrical run begins. Given that the Transformers franchise rights currently belong to Paramount Pictures, it's more than likely that we'll see the next Transformers film come to Paramount+ once the movie decides to indulge in a streaming release. While not every film from the franchise is currently available on the service, it's hard to imagine that Paramount wouldn't put a big recent release like this onto their own service.
​
No, Transformers Rise of the Beasts is not yet streaming, so you’ll need to zoom your way to the nearest cinema if you want to see it. We’re sure that you’ll be able to stream Transformers Rise of the Beasts eventually, but Paramount has made it exclusive to cinemas for now.

When Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be Available On Netflix?
When Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be Available On Netflix? Unfortunately the movie Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is not yet available on Netflix. Follow us on Facebook to see when Transformers: Rise of the Beasts becomes available on Netflix!
​
Transformers Rise of the Beasts is too busy shaking cinema walls to be on Netflix just yet. But we’ll keep an eye on the streamer’s catalog and let you know if the new Transformers outing does show up in the future. The streaming giant has a massive catalog of television shows and movies, but it does not include 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.' We recommend our readers watch other dark fantasy films like 'The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.'
​
Is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts coming to Disney Plus?
Transformers Rise of the Beasts is not on Disney Plus, and we doubt it will end up there any time soon. The new Transformers movie is a Paramount production, so it’s not likely to end up on the streaming arm of a rival studio. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the latest installment in the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts franchise, is coming to Disney+ on July 9th! The simple answer is, probably not, since Paramount Pictures make “Transformers” films, and so this means that the new movie will be streaming exclusively on Paramount+, following a theatrical and digital release.
​
However, the previous “Transformers” films are spread around a number of different streaming services, depending on what country you are in, due to long-running contracts between the studios and streaming platforms.
​
Is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts on Amazon Prime?
We think Transformers Rise of the Beasts will be available on Prime Video before the end of 2023, but it’s not there yet. The other Transformers movies are available to rent or purchase on the Prime Video platform. Amazon Prime's current catalog does not include 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.' However, the film may eventually release on the platform as video-on-demand in the coming months.fantasy movies on Amazon Prime's official website. Viewers who are looking for something similar can watch the original show 'Dororo.'
​
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Will Stream On Paramount+
Transformers: Rise of the Beast is expected to be available to watch via streaming on Paramount Plus by September 9, 2023. Paramount+ is where Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will stream upon its release. Paramount has been in charge of the Transformers movie franchise since it began in 2007 and thus is responsible for releasing every entry in theaters. While the studio might have previously sent its movies to other streaming services like Netflix, the shift to focus more on the development of its own streaming service Paramount+ has changed this tactic. That is why Paramount has released its other major recent blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick or Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on Paramount+ after their theatrical runs conclude.
​
Want to know how to watch the Transformers movies in order before Rise of the Beasts roars into theaters? You've come to the right place. The seventh entry in Paramount Pictures' Transformers film franchise arrives in cinemas worldwide on Friday, June 9, so you don't have much time left to watch its predecessors at home. But, if you're planning to cram them all in before catching Transformers: Rise of the Beasts this weekend, we're here to help you work out how to watch them in chronological and release date order, and we'll also tell you which of the world's best streaming services have them as part of their movie libraries.
​
So, if you're ready to be reunited with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and company – and get the lowdown on every Transformers film to be released so far – read on.
​
Here's How and Where You Can Watch All of the Transformers movies
The best place to start is finding out where you can watch all of the Transformers movies in order in the comfort of your own home. If you're subscribed to Paramount Plus, that's your answer – well, for five of the six films, anyway. Paramount's primary streaming platform is home to the Michael Bay-directed trilogy – Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The streamer's film library is also home to the two Mark Wahlberg-starring flicks, Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: The Last Knight.
​
● Transformers (released on July 3, 2007)
● Revenge of the Fallen (released on June 24, 2009)
● Dark of the Moon (released on June 29, 2011)
● Age of Extinction (released on June 27, 2014)
● The Last Knight (released on June 21, 2017)
● Bumblebee (released on Dec. 21, 2018)
​
Potential users looking to watch this quintet of movies will want to check out our Paramount Plus price guide to see how much it costs to sign up. Alternatively, you can get the lowdown on whether a Paramount Plus free trial is available, so you can try the service out without paying any money to stream the movies. Unfortunately for Paramount Plus UK and Australian-based users, the sixth entry in the action sci-fi franchise, 2018's Bumblebee, isn't available on British shores as part of the package.
​
US subscribers can catch Bumblebee on Paramount Plus (and Fubo, for what it's worth), but UK and Australian fans will have to look elsewhere to get the full Transformers movies in order experience. Here's where UK and Australian viewers can watch Bumblebee instead:
​
● Australia – rent or buy via the Amazon, Apple TV Google Play, Microsoft, or YouTube stores
● UK – rent or buy via the Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Microsoft, Rakuten, Sky, or YouTube stores
​
Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be On HBO Max?
No, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will not be on HBO Max since it’s not a Paramount Pictures movie. Last year, the company released its films in theaters and on the streamer on the same day. However, they now allow a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the streaming release.
​
Disney may have made billions with last year’s mega-blockbuster Avatar: The Way of Water, but for now it’s going to share the streaming success. The Steven Caple Jr. directed sequel is coming to streaming on September 11 and though the film was distributed by Disney, Disney+ won’t be the only place to see it. You can see it there as well as Max, aka HBO Max.
​
Is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Available On Hulu?

When Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be on DVD and Blu-ray?
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will likely be coming to DVD and Blu-ray around the same time as the streaming release. With theatrical films, on average, coming to streaming sooner than ever (usually ninety days after theatrical release), we'll likely see Transformers: Rise of the Beasts get a DVD, and Blu-ray release no later than Fall 2023. Transformers Rise of the Beasts isn’t on Blu-ray yet but will join the rest of the franchise on disc before the end of 2023. There are plenty of fancy releases and box sets of the other Transformers movies, so we’re sure this one will be available to buy in all of its 4K glory very soon.

What Transformers: Rise of the Beasts About:
Optimus Prime and the Autobots take on their biggest challenge yet. When a new threat capable of destroying the entire planet emerges, they must team up with a powerful faction of Transformers known as the Maximals to save Earth. For a while, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts looked like it might be another Bumblebee--a Transformers movie that lacks any of the pizzazz of the Michael Bay flicks but which actually tells a decent story about characters you actually care about. For the first 45 minutes to an hour, we get the most compelling and relatable version yet of the story about a regular person accidentally becoming friends with an alien robot who was secretly a car. But then the plot really kicks in, and suddenly we're watching a Michael Bay Transformers movie--but without Bay's skill as an action filmmaker.
​
It’s a tale as old as time: A human character stumbles upon a group of Transformers that includes Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and Bumblebee (voiceless yet again), and gets roped into their battle with an evil faction, which inevitably involves a race for a piece of Transformers tech that has the power to destroy the world.

I need help choosing between the M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro, and the Dell XPS 15 9250. I'll have some pros and cons below, but let me give some information on what I'll be using this for. This laptop will be something I use to pursue my degree in computer science. This doesn't mean I will just be using it for coding, because I'm not exactly sure what I want to entirely do, and I may decide to try some other things. But, I will primarily be using it for coding and just general school work. After reading the Pros and Cons below, let me know what you think I should choose and why.
​
M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro - $1539
M1 Pro Chip
16GB unified ram
512GB SSD
Pros:

• Amazing battery life
• Good developer support
• Amazing build quality / will last me literal years
• Apple Ecosystem / works good with airpods and iphone
• Better package manager / GUI / overall OS (subjective)
• Higher refresh rate and the best screen on a laptop
• Better speakers

Cons:

• More expensive
• Possible limitations
  • Apple Silicon chips not able to dual boot other OS
  • Possibly having to use a Windows or Ubuntu VM for college class-work and personal interests
• Cannot upgrade ram or SSD

​
Dell XPS 15 - $1149
i7-12700H
NVIDIA 3050
16GB DDR5
512GB SSD
Pros:

• Upgradable ram and SSD
• Won't have any compatibility issues with college classes
• More pleasant typing experience / carbon fiber keyboard (subjective)
• Dedicated GPU AND very similar CPU performance
• Much cheaper
• Slimmer bezels

Cons:

• Battery life is not amazing and don't get the full performance unless plugged in
• Cooling is terrible and outdated / LOUD FANS
• Pretty good build quality but more likely to have a squeaky hinge or wobbly trackpad.

​
Honestly I cannot go wrong with either I don't think. I have a windows desktop which I'm using the right this post, and if I do go with the MacBook I can always remote into this and use this for Linux. Though, the Dell XPS just seems like such a great deal considering I can upgrade the ram to 32GB if I wanted to. The Dell would also be nice if I want to mess with Linux, and MacOS just overall feels more limiting than Windows, BUT it does have a better GUI imo. Parallels also doesn't seem to be too terrible on the MacBook, which I could use to run Kali or Ubuntu or Windows, but no guarantees. Is it worth sacrificing build quality and battery for an OS that feels less limiting? Should I just try them both and see which one I prefer? Let me know which one I should go with AND WHY... would love to hear from someone who has tried both !

Another dumb question -
TLDR: Can I have both Hue and Snegled color changing bulbs and say "hey google set all lights to red" and then all bulbs, regardless of brand, would change to red? Same with brightness percentage? Hue wants $175 for 3 bulbs for my new ceiling fan, but snegled is only $39.99 for 4 bulbs. I'm done paying for overpriced hue lights. :-/
Further explanation:
Can you mix multiple brands of lights, say hue, and one of the other brands like govee or senegled? I know it will be using two different apps, vendors, and commands, but right now since they are all hue (except an outdoor floodlight that can't change color) when I say "hey google set all lights to blue" it will say "sure changing 22 lights to blue." all the lights except the flood light will come on and change to that color. If I just say "turn on all the lights" it will turn the flood light on too.
So If I mix in another brand that can also color change with one command or will it require me to setup routines? I know the colors may not be 100% the same but I would be OK with something close.
I'm not sure why but it will be $175 to buy 3 e12 color bulbs from hue, but less than $40 for color changing snegled bulbs, and that comes in a 4 pack so I'd have a spare. I had snegled bulbs a long time ago when I used samsung smartthings, but then I switched to homepod, so I bought all philips hue color bulbs because at the time that was the only brand that worked with homepod that I could find. I've switched back to google years ago because of the lack of support for all my smart switches and cameras, that do work with google. But all of my hue lights still work so I haven't looked into replacing them. I think I spent someting crazy like over $1000 in bulbs back in the day, but I don't have just crazy free flowing cash like that these days and I can't see paying 4 times more than the ceiling fan for the bulbs.
​

I'm selling the entire PC as one unit. I am only taking local cash. If you are a buyer in central Ohio, then we can arrange a meet and I'll deliver it to you.
I am asking for $575 OBO for the entire PC. All parts are from the CyberPower pre-build original purchase in 2019 (with the exception of the NZXT case that I moved to the following year and the CoolerMaster fan I replaced last week for the radiatoliquid cooling).
I am also including a Logitech G513 Carbon (box and spare keys included) and a Red Dragon MMO mouse (box and weights included). (See picture)
(See attached IMGUR LINK for Speccy details and photos of the PC)Here are the specs:

• CPU: i9-9900k 3.6GHz (16MB cache, LGA1151)
• GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8Gb GDDR6
• SSD: 512Gb Intel 660P PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
• HDD: 2TB GB Seagate ST2000DM006-2DM164 (SATA)
• RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 2x16Gb DDR4-3600
• Motherboard: ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 ATX LGA1151
• Case w/ fans: NZXT H710 ATX Mid-tower
  • 3 Aer F 120mm front intake fans
  • 1 Aer F 140mm back exhaust fan
• CPU Fan/Radiator: CyberPowerPC MasterLiquid Lite 120mm CPU Liquid Cooler
• Power Supply: 800Watts (80+ Gold)

Things to note:

• Bluetooth is not functional.

This might sound like an odd comparison request, because the Klipsch mains are full tower speakers compared to the compact Jamos, but I've heard so many good things about the S803s that I figured I'd ask the reddit brain trust.
Here's my dilemma: I bought the Klipsch HT system above (along with a Dayton SUB-1200) and have been using it for just over a year, about 80% of the time for movies/TV and 20% for music. It sounds good, but not great. The R625 towers handle a ton of power, and they shake the house in a lovely manner without ever breaking up. I realize that's mostly because of the Dayton Sub, but the mains are cranking nicely, too. However, the mids can sound a little muffled, especially when listening to dialogue. The receiver EQ (Yamaha TS-700) has helped, but it only does so much. The Klipsch towers really lack the clarity I expected.
EDIT: My system plays in a room that is 2 stories tall with a cathedral ceiling, and the couch is about 12 feet from the speakers. Room is approx 24' x 24'. Also, I have tried dialing the sub way down, and that doesn't really improve the midrange clarity much.
Is it possible the Jamo S803 HT (with the Dayton sub) would sound better than the Klipsch? I don't need ugodly volume, but I do like to crank some old school metal or RATM when the wife isn't home. If they do, I can always give the Klipsch speakers to my brother. He'd be happy with either system. I'm not in a position to listen to the Jamos in a store, so I'm hoping some members here can chime in. Thanks!

I want to play audio on both internal speaker and Bluetooth speaker (bose soundlink flex). Is there any way to do that?

While Paramount has announced no streaming plans at this time, big-budget blockbusters like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts typically become available on streaming roughly ninety days after their theatrical run begins. Given that the Transformers franchise rights currently belong to Paramount Pictures, it's more than likely that we'll see the next Transformers film come to Paramount+ once the movie decides to indulge in a streaming release. While not every film from the franchise is currently available on the service, it's hard to imagine that Paramount wouldn't put a big recent release like this onto their own service.
No, Transformers Rise of the Beasts is not yet streaming, so you’ll need to zoom your way to the nearest cinema if you want to see it. We’re sure that you’ll be able to stream Transformers Rise of the Beasts eventually, but Paramount has made it exclusive to cinemas for now.

When Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be Available On Netflix?
When Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be Available On Netflix? Unfortunately the movie Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is not yet available on Netflix. Follow us on Facebook to see when Transformers: Rise of the Beasts becomes available on Netflix!
Transformers Rise of the Beasts is too busy shaking cinema walls to be on Netflix just yet. But we’ll keep an eye on the streamer’s catalog and let you know if the new Transformers outing does show up in the future. The streaming giant has a massive catalog of television shows and movies, but it does not include 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.' We recommend our readers watch other dark fantasy films like 'The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.'
Is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts coming to Disney Plus?
Transformers Rise of the Beasts is not on Disney Plus, and we doubt it will end up there any time soon. The new Transformers movie is a Paramount production, so it’s not likely to end up on the streaming arm of a rival studio. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the latest installment in the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts franchise, is coming to Disney+ on July 9th! The simple answer is, probably not, since Paramount Pictures make “Transformers” films, and so this means that the new movie will be streaming exclusively on Paramount+, following a theatrical and digital release.
However, the previous “Transformers” films are spread around a number of different streaming services, depending on what country you are in, due to long-running contracts between the studios and streaming platforms.
Is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts on Amazon Prime?
We think Transformers Rise of the Beasts will be available on Prime Video before the end of 2023, but it’s not there yet.

Viewers who are looking for something similar can watch the original show 'Dororo.'
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Will Stream On Paramount+
Transformers: Rise of the Beast is expected to be available to watch via streaming on Paramount Plus by September 9, 2023. Paramount+ is where Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will stream upon its release. Paramount has been in charge of the Transformers movie franchise since it began in 2007 and thus is responsible for releasing every entry in theaters. While the studio might have previously sent its movies to other streaming services like Netflix, the shift to focus more on the development of its own streaming service Paramount+ has changed this tactic. That is why Paramount has released its other major recent blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick or Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on Paramount+ after their theatrical runs conclude.
Want to know how to watch the Transformers movies in order before Rise of the Beasts roars into theaters? You've come to the right place. The seventh entry in Paramount Pictures' Transformers film franchise arrives in cinemas worldwide on Friday, June 9, so you don't have much time left to watch its predecessors at home.

So, if you're ready to be reunited with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and company – and get the lowdown on every Transformers film to be released so far – read on.
Here's How and Where You Can Watch All of the Transformers movies
The best place to start is finding out where you can watch all of the Transformers movies in order in the comfort of your own home. If you're subscribed to Paramount Plus, that's your answer – well, for five of the six films, anyway. Paramount's primary streaming platform is home to the Michael Bay-directed trilogy – Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The streamer's film library is also home to the two Mark Wahlberg-starring flicks, Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: The Last Knight.
● Transformers (released on July 3, 2007)
● Revenge of the Fallen (released on June 24, 2009)
● Dark of the Moon (released on June 29, 2011)
● Age of Extinction (released on June 27, 2014)
● The Last Knight (released on June 21, 2017)
● Bumblebee (released on Dec. 21, 2018)
Potential users looking to watch this quintet of movies will want to check out our Paramount Plus price guide to see how much it costs to sign up. Alternatively, you can get the lowdown on whether a Paramount Plus free trial is available, so you can try the service out without paying any money to stream the movies. Unfortunately for Paramount Plus UK and Australian-based users, the sixth entry in the action sci-fi franchise, 2018's Bumblebee, isn't available on British shores as part of the package.
US subscribers can catch Bumblebee on Paramount Plus (and Fubo, for what it's worth), but UK and Australian fans will have to look elsewhere to get the full Transformers movies in order experience. Here's where UK and Australian viewers can watch Bumblebee instead:
● Australia – rent or buy via the Amazon, Apple TV Google Play, Microsoft, or YouTube stores
● UK – rent or buy via the Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Microsoft, Rakuten, Sky, or YouTube stores
Will Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Be On HBO Max?
No, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will not be on HBO Max since it’s not a Paramount Pictures movie. Last year, the company released its films in theaters and on the streamer on the same day. However, they now allow a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the streaming release.
Disney may have made billions with last year’s mega-blockbuster Avatar: The Way of Water, but for now it’s going to share the streaming success. The Steven Caple Jr. directed sequel is coming to streaming on September 11 and though the film was distributed by Disney, Disney+ won’t be the only place to see it. You can see it there as well as Max, aka HBO Max.

People frequently ask which Katana should they choose, and instead of replying individually, hopefully users can be referred to this overview to get the necessary information they need.
This guide is primarily about the "giggable amps", but for sake of completeness let's just get the others out of the way:

• Boss Katana Mini - the ultra-portable version that can also be battery powered: Wouldn't recommend as your one-and-only amp, but a good addition when you want a small unobtrusive practice amp for your living room/secondary practice area. Three different amp models, EQ and delay, no other effects. Note: It is not compatible to the tone presets of the giggable Katanas.
• Boss Waza Air - listed even if not a Katana, to stress that it is a completely different type of amp: The Waza Air is a headphone solution with different sound localization modes using builtin gyro, comes with a wireless transmitter. You'll find demos on youtube on how the spacial placement of the amp works in the different modes. Note: not compatible with the tone presets of the giggable Katanas
• Boss Katana Air - the big brother to the Katana Mini - still a portable app that can be battery powered. Oversimplified a bluetooth speaker that you can jam along with. Comes with a wireless transmitter. 5 different amp models, over 50 effects to choose from, six preset slots. The high price makes this a weird one and hard to recommend. Go with the full-blown Katana Head instead unless you really need an amp that can be battery-powered.
• Boss Katana Bass - well, if you're a bassist, you probably want this one, although at bedroom levels the guitar Katanas also work OK.

With the outliers out of the way, let's eliminate the next two:

• Boss Katana 50EX - a very, very niche pick, much too close in pricing to the 100 (at the time of the writing just 20€ difference) which is a way better option. Only get the 50EX if you're already owning a 50mk2 and want a stereo rig and care that the two amps look the same, or when you want to gig using line-out and the added dimensions/weight are a big concern (but maybe pick the 100 Head instead then)
• Boss Katana Artist Head - along with the 50EX the latest additions to the lineup. Bad value for money compared to the regular Head. Only consider if you absolutely must have front-facing controls or want to expand your existing mk2 with a Head that supports the dual-link stereo expand mode. It also has some additional knobs/buttons for features that are only accessible using the software on the other Katanas, but you don't get what makes the Artist Combo special and justifies its price compared to the other combos: The special waza speaker. Not only that, it doesn't even have the builtin speakers for practicing without a cab. Get the 100 Head instead or the Artist Combo amp.

The main choice: 50 vs 100 vs Artist vs Head

All the listed amps below have the same effects, use the same version of Boss Tone Studio and only differ in the speaker and connectivity options.
Boss Katana 50mk2
Pro: The cheapest of them, but with all the same effects and toggles like the others. Biggest drawback: doesn't have a fx-loop, so if you want to use your own pedals or a looper pedal, you should go with the 100 instead. Second drawback: no ga-fc (footcontroller) support. That is no longer a problem since XSonic added the airstep Kat to their product lineup that fills that gap, and for bedroom players you can use any midi controller via PC ( https://www.reddit.com/BossKatana/comments/msd597/controlling_the_katana_with_a_midi_controlle ), also no line-out, no stereo-expand (but can be used as a stereo expand slave) and only four preset slots
Boss Katana 100mk2
The obvious choice for anyone who needs and fx-loop or is serious about gigging in different venues - not because the higher wattage rating, but because it has a line-out that can be hooked up into FOH/the venue's PA, also the TRS cable of the ga-fc arguably is more rugged than a USB cable from the airstep Kat... Also it has 8 preset slots giving even more flexibility for playing live, also available in a 2x12 variant, supports stereo-expand.
Boss Katana Artist mk2
The "premium" version of the 100, with a special waza speaker that some say sound a lot better than the 50/100, others don't hear much of a difference. Has front-facing controls, DIN-Midi input for controlling with a midi controller, has speaker-out to optionally use an external cab, the dual-expand mode (where it forwards the ga-fc commands so you can use a wet/dry rig/run two amps with different settings, requires another Katana amp with ga-fc support) and has some additional physical knobs for settings that are only available using Boss Tone Studio on the other amps. A steep increase in price compared to the 100 - whether it is worth the money is hard to tell/subjective - best to try them out in person to see whether you want to get a single Artist, or a 100 and a 50 for the same price for a stereo rig with some money to spare... or whether to get the head and a cab instead.
Boss Katana Head mk2
Obviously the choice if you don't want a combo amp but are looking for a head. Also has the DIN-midi in for directly controlling with a midi controller and a speaker out. Since it has builtin speakers, it can be used without a cab for practice. Unfortunately quite a bit more expensive compared to the 100, otherwise the Head (and an optional cab) would be the primary recommendation.

What about mk1 vs mk2

Simple: If you're buying new, just get a mk2 - the additional features are worth it, especially with the last firmware updates. Not only will you get more and more simultaneous effects and better panel controls (dual concentric knobs instead of , but also the power-amp in, stereo-expand (except for the 50), more line-out options (virtual microphone/cabinet emulation variations), more tone-shape EQ and contour controls - and of course the convenience of being able to use presets created for both the mk1 as well as the mk2. That being said: You might be able to get good deals on used mk1 amps, and they'll still be great amps/pedal platforms, with the same fundamental differences (i.e. 50 doesn't have fx-loop or line-out and no ga-fc support) to go by.

TLDR!!!

• want a head? → Get the Boss Katana 100 Head mk2
• Want a combo? → Decide between the 50 and the 100
  • Need FX-loop (want to use a looper pedal or your own pedalboard) → get the 100 mk2
  • plan on gigging a lot? → get the 100 mk2 (for its line-out and ga-fc support)
  • want to save money and play mostly at home → get the 50 mk2 (you can still use the airstep Kat or MIDI for full footcontroller support)
• But i want the best! → Get the Artist mk2 combo
• avoid the 50EX or the Artist Head

I think my husband of 22 years took video of me while I was in the shower.
We have a Bluetooth speaker in our bathroom and we always put music on while we get ready. While I was washing my hair, the music stopped. I didn’t think much of it, but when I opened my eyes and asked him what happened to the music he said he didn’t know. I happened to glance at his phone and saw the camera app open. Now, I know that when you have music connected to Bluetooth and you start video, the music will stop.
He has mentioned in the past that he “likes the way my boobs jiggle” when I wash my hair. I’ve also woken up to him in the past with his phone between my crotch.
I stewed on this all day, wondering if I should confront him or look through his phone or what. This morning, after his shower, I asked him, “I have a question for you. Yesterday when the music stopped, were you taking photo or video of me?” He replied, “I was just scrolling though my phone, I don’t know why it stopped.” I told him I saw the camera app open and he still denied it. Then after a minute, he grabbed his phone and walked out of the room.
Like, I’m flattered he still finds me attractive. But I’m not an object he can take photos/videos of to use for who knows what (we know, right?) and then lie to me about it.
So, do I just drop it? Do I look through his deleted photos? Do I bring it up at our next counseling session? What should I do!?

Hoping I’m in the right place for this question.
Our house was built in the mid-80s, and I’m pretty sure this wall unit (link to pics below) has been there since then. It worked when we bought the house 4 years ago, but it’s finally crapped out.
With summer getting warmer, I need to replace it. It doesn’t seem like it would be crazy difficult to do (I have virtually no skills, but I can change a door lock, install a ceiling fan, and YouTube has guided me through other small tasks). I’d hire a handyman to help if I can find one, but even if I do I’ll need buy a replacement unit first. We had a ductless minisplit replaced earlier this year and when my husband got quotes, they all said they don’t do these wall units.
So can anyone help me identify a wall unit I can use? I needs to be both heating and AC. I tried looking online but the weird plug is throwing me off. The dimensions of this unit are 26 x 17.5 in.
