it's great that you personally are thorough enough to dig into the article and see for yourself - my favorite data set size of 1 and conclusions from that - but half the people even here, let alone outside of hn, will just grab the headline and run with it, saying "I heard roombas spy on people", and that's a problem. And the people who wrote this article know this full well.
- mikem170 4y agoWhat's the worst that happens, someone buys an older roomba without a camera, or gets some exercise using a vacuum? Is it a bad thing if people err on the side of being too private, for a change, instead of blindly trusting big tech tracking everything they do, or being completely uninformed about this sort of thing?
