Abstract
We offer two comments on the beautiful papers of Giles Gardam and Alan Murray that yield counterexamples to the Kaplansky unit conjecture. First we discuss the determinants of these units in a certain matrix representation of the group ring. Then we explain why there is a doubly infinite family of units in the Murray paper.
