Tell me why a robot vacuum should require Internet connectivity.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoIf you need a robot vacuum because using a regular one isn't a realistic option for you, whether it should require internet access is irrelevant. It does, and making fun of people whose fault it isn't is mean.
- bluepizza 6y agoIt is not irrelevant - it is the central point of most people’s argument: that you don’t need smart devices connected to the cloud. Certainly you are able to imagine smart devices that work locally without the need of an external server.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoIt's totally irrelevant because it doesn't exist. Imagination doesn't matter in this instance, reality does.
- jeena 6y agoBut it does exist.
- throwaway201103 6y agoThe mean ones are the manufacturers who are selling hobbled crap to handicapped people without being honest about its limitations.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoMore than one thing can be true. Also, the people making the imperfect solution are definitely less mean than the Nelson-wannabe bullies.
- ehnto 6y agoIt really isn't irrelevant, it should be top on their list of things to know about. As we're seeing here, it's a source of unreliability and if you want a robust home automation setup you should look for tools that don't require internet connectivity.
