Hacked Robot Vacuums Across the U.S. Started Yelling Slurs
  • Ok so I used to work for iRobot, the OG robot vacuum maker. Robot vacuums used to vacuum randomly. To make them vacuum systematically, they need to map your house. One cheap way to do that is to use a camera roughly pointing at your ceiling and do Video SLAM. The camera identifies features on your ceiling and how they are changing to know where the robot is and map the room.

    I guess ecovac thought they could add a camera feed feature for free since they already had a camera on the robot.

  • ‘It’s mindblowing’: US meteorologists face death threats as hurricane conspiracies surge
  • Honestly it would be funny to see Biden do some of this. He only has a few months left and can do whatever because of the supreme court. He could just go on TV an be like: “You know what? The conspiracies are true. We’re gonna turn off the doppler radars in southern states. No more flying. No more weather forecast. We’re going to ban farm laborers to come harvest your crops. The unpredicted weather is gonna ruin the crops anyways. We’re going to stop FEMA from giving aid in your republican states. Communism is unacceptable. We’re gonna ban fossil fuel in the south because that drives the weather crazy. No more cars. Enjoy the 1800s. Bye”

  • No ads here!
  • I assume something similar to sponsor block, some algorithm to identify ad segments and some user feedback to confirm. Unless I’m mistaken as to how sponsor block works?

  • It's always worth asking for a bike rack!
  • Sadly, this is the second worst bike rack design though. A lot of ebikes have wider tires. And the way it’s positioned, the bikes would block the sidewalk. A bunch of “staple” racks parallel to the road are good. Or a set of the Parisian coils taking over one car spot is best.

  • Sounds like a dealbreaker
  • I’d rather have pizza with no cheese than pizza with no red sauce but again, it’s like saying I’d rather have no green cones than no red cones in my eyes. Having both adds and extra dimension.
