As a developer, the experience is so much better on Android for me. And I oppose the walled garden on a ideological level.

But I have to admit some of the features are compelling. Some of them aren't even really Apple's doing, such as Genshin Impact supporting wireless controllers on IOS14+, but not Android at all. Others are built in, such as the lidar scanning.

They haven't yet tempted me over, though, because phones are incredibly expensive and even if I weren't opposed to the walled garden, I'm pretty invested in the Android ecosystem now.

At some point I plan to borrow someone's iPhone and try Genshin on it, and if that works well... Well, I might just switch anyhow. Or maybe I get sick of that game before that. ;)

I guess you could hope to find someone here that could help you with that, but it occurs to me that you're working with people who definitely understand it. Perhaps you could ask them for some guidance?

It does say it was cross-posted (to 3 places) at the top on the web.

After looking into z-wave and zigbee and having installed a lot of wifi devices, I also decided to wait for Matter. I've been pretty disappointed in the reviews I've seen, and the range of devices is really limited. I'm starting to wonder if I should just give up and go with Z-wave.

I don't use a respirator at all, but I also don't hang out in that room while it's printing, and I have a small air purifier that runs in there full time.

I can understand being underwhelmed if you went into it thinking it was going to be Fallout in space. But I went in knowing it was a space western RPG, and I quite enjoyed it. I've been thinking about replaying it, and it was just in the Humble Bundle this month, so that'll probably happen soon. (I played it on PC Game Pass the first time, I think.)

Ah, I didn't realize the black sensor could do that.

Have you tried calibrating it with something covering the plate? Maybe painter's tape? Can the plate spin 180 and calibrate there, to make sure it's not different somehow on the right and left?

So you've used one of those mechanic leveling tools to manually set the screws so that the bed is the same distance from the nozzle in all 4 corners, and the automated probe is telling you that it's 1.5mm off from left to right? That's pretty weird.

Someone else mentioned there being flex/deflection in things, and I think that's something I'd look at first. But I'd also look at the sensor and see if there's a reason it would do that. Is it still the stock black or blue sensor? I never had problems with mine, but I've heard a lot of complaints about them, mostly that they're not accurate, especially on certain surfaces. Since they sense metal, maybe your bed has extra metal on one side vs the other?

I'm just spitballing here because it's weird enough that I can't really imagine what's going on.
