Regular vacuuming of your floors is the best method to manage seasonal allergies. However, it can be frustrating and time-consuming. Roborock has your back with its new mid-range Q5 and Q5+ robot vacuum cleaners. With auto-empty compatibility, multi-level mapping, and smart app control, Roborock Q5+ can deliver up to seven weeks of hands-free cleaning at an affordable price.

Smart app control

Q5 series smart vacuum cleaners work with Roborock’s intelligent app to offer features like 3D mapping and one-touch routines. Roborock’s PresiSense technology uses advanced LiDAR technology to allow you create No-Go Zones and Invisible Walls. This lets you customize and personalize Roborock Q5 to fit your vacuuming needs.

For example, you can schedule Roborock Q5 and Q5+ to vacuum specific rooms at specific times based on your needs and habits. Roborock even offers suction power control when customizing cleaning routines.

Roborock’s smart vacuum cleaner plays nice with smart home voice assistants too. You can assign tasks in the app to trigger with voice commands using Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and even Apple’s Siri.

Reduce allergen exposure

For allergy sufferers, Roborock’s Q5 and Q5+ robot vacuums are great for automating floor cleaning. The 2700Pa suction capacity in the Q5 series sucks up pet hair, dust, and dander from carpets and rugs so you can enjoy a clean home, and automating the process means you can easily clean your floors throughout the week as recommended.

Roborock Q5 and Q5+ both automatically return home to recharge after completing a cleaning job, and Q5+ adds a 2. 5L dust bag with the Auto-Empty Dock. This lets Roborock Q5+ empty itself into the dust bag when it fills up so you can dramatically reduce exposure to allergens. This dock is convenient and prevents you from being exposed to allergens.

Q series availability

Roborock Q5 series brings the luxury of automating floor cleaning to more people with its affordable prices.

The mid-range Q5 retails for $429.99. Readers can appreciate a 23% discount now through May 23 to bring the price to $329.99. Roborock Q5+ includes the Auto Empty Dock Pure with up to seven weeks of hands-free cleaning. The retail price is $699. 99, and readers can enjoy $100 off at $599. 99 now through May 23.

Roborock also recently introduced four other models in the Q series with basic mopping features: Q7 ($529), Q7+ ($799), Q7 Max ($599), and Q7 Max+ ($869). Each Max model increase suction power to 4700Pa, and Q7+ and Q7 Max+ include the Auto Empty Dock Pure like Roborock Q5+.

We highly recommend Roborock Q5+ for budget-minded buyers who can benefit from easier floor cleaning and less allergen exposure. Enjoy seven weeks hands-free cleaning with the Roborock robot vacuum.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Twitter had been working on a new way to let creators open exclusive Spaces for their “super followers.” Now the social network has confirmed that it’s rolling out the Spaces feature to Super Follows creators so that they can start a private audio chat with only paying followers.

Creators have the option to offer exclusive tweets via a monthly subscription through Super Follows. These followers can now access private Spaces which are Twitter’s audio and live streaming platforms.

It’s important to note that Spaces For Super Follows are different than Ticketed Spaces. This is a way for them to charge a set price each time if they want to allow users to access that Space. Both features are ways that Twitter has been implementing monetization to its platform beyond advertising.

At this time, Super Follows is available only to US users. Creators who want to apply for the program need to be 18 or older, have at least 10,000 followers, and have posted a minimum of 25 tweets in the past 30 days. Creators accepted into the Super Follows program can charge $2. 99, $4. 99, or $9. 99 for the monthly subscription.

Last month, the company announced other major improvements to its Spaces live audio platform, which includes a new conversation thread button and an option to share audio clips. Twitter also recently made “Circles” available to some users, which works similarly to Super Follows but is free and intended for close friends.

Midnight Ghost Hunt‘s first major update includes a new map full of chaotic props: baby dolls with knives and scuttling little legs, lethal forklifts, and soda machines that chase ghost hunters around the map while ejecting soda cans like softballs. I’ve heard of an unsafe workplace before, but this is ridiculous.

Polygon was able to test the new map with Vaulted Sky Game’s developers, and it is now fully loaded with nightmares and hilarious antics.

The concept of Midnight Ghost Hunt is simple — a group of four amateur ghost hunters enter a scary location, like an abandoned pirate ship or museum. The four ghost hunters are there to capture their opponents, disguised in ridiculous props. They also use their psychic abilities to escape capture. For the first five minutes of the match, the ghosts are frail and weak, and the hunters can easily smash them and vacuum their souls up. If the clock strikes midnight and even one ghost remains, the tables turn, and the vicious, empowered ghosts become the hunters.

The newest map highlights one of the greatest strengths of the game, which is that it crosses the border between legitimate terror and camp. The constant background noise from old processing machines that are not controlled by anyone in particular is a problem. Sometimes games involve all four hunters chasing away a panicking ghost. Sometimes, ghosts will set up a jump-scare using a falling sword and an exploding gunnon. Every time I heard a cat screech or a creepy laugh, I’d duck, because it usually meant a knife-wielding baby doll would be close behind.

Previous maps have their own advantages — the mansion has knight armor with swords that make for a compelling hallway ambush, and the museum is full of globes that can roll away from hunters at mach speed. The props in the doll factory are better suited to frontal attacks, which gives the ghosts greater options. For instance, they can possess heavy metal gates and turn them into guillotines on unsuspecting hunters. These items are a dual-edged sword. Hunters can attack larger, heavier props with their weapons and take out the bad guys. A smaller prop may escape unharmed.

The update also improves hunters’ weapons. The shockstick, a short-range weapon that can hit a ghost rapid-fire, now comes with a makeshift stop-sign buckler. Hunters have a better chance to duel it out in the later game with this added utility, and some of the most compelling moments as a hunter come from surprising an angry revenant with a salt shotgun or melee blow. Developer Vaulted Sky Games told Polygon that with weekly patches, along with larger updates like this one, the ghost/hunter win ratio is now getting very close to a clean 50/50 split.

Midnight Ghost Hunt has earned success in streaming communities, and it looks like the developer is leaning into the game’s strengths with the latest map and update. Matches are now more exciting for both parties, with hunters having a greater chance of making a last stand at midnight, while ghosts have the ability to cause more havoc in the first minutes. The power balance is a little less lopsided. There are very few distractions worse than watching a vending machine chase you, shooting cans at your head.

Pokemon Home is releasing its largest update in over a year. With version 2.0, users are finally able to integrate the latest Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, and Pokemon Shining Pearl to the cloud service app alongside past Nintendo Switch games.

This new update introduces Strange Balls.

On the other hand, creatures caught in Legends: Arceus will appear in a regular Poke Ball in these games.

To celebrate Pokemon Bright Diamond Pokemon Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends, Arceus will become compatible with Pokemon Home. Players will receive special Pokemon for linking to each of their games.

• Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott with maximum effort levels will be given as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokemon HOME when depositing a Pokemon from Legends: Arceus
• Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup with Hidden Abilities will be given as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokemon HOME when depositing a Pokemon from Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.
