It's getting harder to stay out of the orbit of Facebook and Amazon. When Meta bought Oculus I gave mine away. I'm keeping the Roomba but.. I am wary of it now.

- NotYourLawyer 4y agoI feel the same way about eero.
- cptcobalt 4y agoAs much as they don't want to admit it, Eero has been indeed Amazonified. Making weird, unfocused products and no longer supporting the community that existed around the products. I'm likely stepping up to Ubiquiti with the next Wi-Fi generation as my home networking needs have become more intense. (Who's hasn't?)
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoI’m not thrilled with Ubiquiti’s push for cloud-managed everything either. I really just want mesh routers that I can administer locally.
- dagw 4y agoYou could always buy a Roborock and send your data to the Chinese government instead...
- TremendousJudge 4y agoOr a vacuum that doesn't connect to the internet? Mine works just fine
- xeromal 4y agoYou can install custom firmware on your roborock if you so choose.

- AshamedCaptain 4y agoAnd there is another reason why "smart" devices are all so dangerous. The older Roombas without any kind of network connectivity are still as safe to use as they were before.
- dylan604 4y agomy older Roomba did not have any of these mapping features. it would show a map of the space it crawled over at the end of a job. the next model up allowed for the naming of rooms and allowing the roomba to clean a specific room by name. however, earlier this year, my roomba received an update that now allows it to "map" the house. it's a rountine it will run around the house banging into things to generate that map without doing any cleaning. after that, it will allow you to name rooms and clean by specified room. i've never run that special mapping routine.
