Anyone else getting frequent audio pops during playback? Started happening for me with the last update.

Version 2026.8.1 Normal playback speed, no fancy audio settings other than Vocal Boost.

I ordered a bunch of entryway levers to see which looked best on my door. I think I've kept track of which cylinders go with which levers, but I want to make sure before returning the rejections. That's not easy because the 8-character "match this code" on the packaging isn't the same as the 5-digit code stamped on the keys. Is there some kind of decoder ring available to make sure which box code corresponds to which key code?

Wife's iPhone 17 Pro has started disconnecting calls (made or received) almost immediately after they connect. She'll be able to hear me say "hello" ... but I usually won't hear anything from her end (maybe a split-second of her voice if I'm lucky before it disconnects). And it's an issue with all her calls, not just to/from me. Facetime audio still works, so we're getting by with that in the meantime.

Her phone is on Dark Star... we might try switching to one of the other networks (best feature of US Mobile service, in my opinion), but I thought I'd poke the subreddit first. She's travelling, and it's happened across multiple states, so it's not a localized service issue with cell towe

My employer's 401k plan caps our 401k contributions at 30% salary. Let's say I want to contribute pre-tax up to the federal limit, then after-tax beyond that up to the 30% salary cap... I'm scratching my head over how to model this in PL.

Right now I have 2 flows, one for pre-tax and one for after-tax. The pre-tax flow is easy enough; it's the after-tax flow that's problematic, since it's not aware of what's already been contributed pre-tax.

Any ideas?

Every time I open the Matic app, my floor plan is shown with ~5° rotational skew. I’m sure this is because of whatever origin point Matic used when doing the initial mapping of my floor plan, but is there a way to “correct” this so the walls are oriented up/down, left/right instead of slightly off-kilter? … is there a way to correct this that doesn’t involve precise initial placement/orientation of the Matic and a complete re-mapping?

If not… could there be?

Just curious if there's been any progress on the high-pitched whine noise that's been a common complaint around here. I'm not seeing as many complaints lately, but I haven't seen any whine improvement with my Matic, either. So, maybe we're all just getting used to it? 🤷‍♂️

I've had my Matic since mid-December, and that whine (~6.25 kHz) has been a constant when vacuuming (not mopping) in the Standard or Deep Clean modes. I don't think I've ever tried Quick mode, so I don't know about that one.

Anyway, just sitting here listening to the whine while it cleans the kitchen tile, wondering if a) anyone else has seen whine improvement, and b) if it's still something being worked by the team.

How are you supposed to unplug the USB-C cable from the bottom of a G6 Instant camera without breaking something? There’s no room to get a grip on the connector body with your fingers, and it’s a right-angle connector, so pulling at the cable torques the connector.

I tried disconnecting it as gently as I could, ended up wedging a spudger under the connector body and levering it up, but I think even that broke a connection in the camera because now it won’t power on anymore.
