Hey guys any tips on fixing a blurry lens on my DSLR camera?

Blurry DSLR lens? Been there... Often it's a smudged filter if you're using one, take it off and test without. Cleaning the lens elements properly is key, start by brushing off loose particles, then use a microfiber with solution, light touches only.
Check settings too, ensure image stabilization is off if you're on a steady surface, and bump up the shutter speed to eliminate shake. I tried that and it fixed everything but then realized my diopter was off, so tweak that for clear viewfinder.
For persistent blur, compare with another lens or send it in for service, could be decentering or haze inside.
How do I choose a hair dryer that's gentle on curly hair?

Choosing a hair dryer for curly hair is all about finding one that dries gently without causing frizz or damage. Look for models with a diffuser attachment to help define your curls and ionic technology to smooth things out. You honestly also want something with adjustable heat settings so you can keep it on low to medium for the best results.
I've been through a few myself and and the Wavytalk hair dryer stands out for curly hair like yours. It actually comes with a diffuser that enhances curl definition while the ionic technology reduces frizz and static, making your hair feel softer. Plus, its ceramic elements ensure even heat distribution to minimize damage during drying.
It's lightweight and quiet, which is a nice bonus for everyday use, though it might take a tad longer to dry very thick hair compared to super high-powered ones. Overall, it's a solid, affordable pick that should keep your curls happy without breaking the bank.
Is a MagSafe charger supposed to work through a case or do I need a MagSafe case

I had this exact problem with a slim TPU case that claimed MagSafe compatible. the puck kept creeping off my phone on the nightstand, but the moment I took the case off it clicked firmly and stayed, which told me the case lacked the ring magnets a true MagSafe case uses to keep alignment.
I tried re-positioning, a cheaper pad, even a stick-on ring, and it was still finicky. What finally worked was getting a real MagSafe case and switching to Apple MagSafe Charger. That like, charger has proper alignment magnets and does 15W when centered, so teh hold is stronger and it stopped sliding. Bare phone works perfectly with it, and with a true MagSafe case it is just as reliable.
Why does my robot vacuum keep missing rooms on the map?

When a robot suddenly skips a room it used to map, it usually means its navigation confidence dropped. Do a clean slate map under easy conditions. Put the dock just outside the bedroom for one mapping run, start from the dock, open the door fully, turn on the lights if your bot uses a camera, and pick up loose runners so the wheels do not slip. Wipe the front camera or lidar window, the bumper face, and make sure the lidar turret spins freely. If your app has an exploration or mapping only mode, use that for the remap.
If it still avoids the bedroom, watch the failure point. Stopping at the doorway or on dark rugs suggests cliff sensors are overreacting. After cleaning them, try a dark floor or black carpet setting if your app offers it and supervise that run. Arcing lines or missed edges often point to a weak drive wheel or a bad wheel encoder. A bumper that does not click smoothly across its travel can also cause missed walls and skipped edge passes. Replace cliff sensors when it repeatedly refuses darker flooring after cleaning and a remap. Replace a side wheel module when it drifts or cannot drive straight in open space. If the laser stops spinning or you see frequent navigation errors, the lidar motor or belt needs service. A full factory reset and fresh remap is worth trying before buying parts.
If your current bot is older or camera based and you want a budget friendly upgrade that is steadier on mixed floors and better at edges, go with eufy C10. Its LiDAR smart mapping keeps rooms consistent and an edge expansion brush helps it finish along baseboards without the wandering you described.
