This year, iRobot launched an entirely new line of robot vacuums … adding lidar navigation to its line for the first time (over VSLAM).

Reminiscent of all the other failed tech companies that refused to implement better/newer tech.

I wouldn’t get one without lidar.

Well call me a cheap sloppy lover.

Jesus fucking christ, this is the only way to get affordable electronic components in Sweden.

Fuck this bullshit. Guess I’m going from €3 for an esp32 to €10-15 for the exact same shit from China, only now I have to pay an extra €10 for delivery on top of that.

Want resistors? Expect to pay €0.10 each and €10 for delivery.

I guess that ends that hobby for me.

This is why DIY is dead in these places.

Climbing and living in a city where I walk everywhere is how I get fit too.

They kinda lived in a semi peak, I remember the nineties and early 2000’s being pretty kickass, and they had their adult years through that.

These are just assumptions tho, I’m a millenial.

No worries, glad I could help.

Oh yeah! It happens, the newer ones have object detection and recognition, I think they’re better at not doing that

I’m afraid your edit made me giggle.

The ones with the docking stations will probably last you like a month. For me, my hairy and litter loving cat, in a 42sqm apartment, the small container in the vaccum fills up in a little less than a week.

It helps if your furniture has enough clearance underneath for it to get under it, it means you need less regular vacuuming.

Im using the S6 Pure, it was released just before they started with their docking stations.

As for which one to get, that I can’t say, it’d depend on your budget, they’re pretty expensive, I paid about €500 for mine a few years ago and the newer model was around $700.

I’d check the features of each, make sure it has the suction power you want, and most importantly, check the noise level, that’s one of my only complaints is that they’re relatively loud because of the high rpm suction motor.

Definitely get one with automatic emptying, it’ll save you a lot of effort too.

Hope that helps.

The Great White Lie.

Yes definitely, my cat loves carrying his litter out of the box and the vacuum sucks it all up, you will just need to be mindful about emptying it regularly. Though the new and expensive ones clean themselves out. Ive never used the mop function on mine, but they’re also better on the models with the fancy base station as it changes water for you.

I’ve had mine for almost 4 years now and it goes once a day. It also survived a bunch of diatomaceous earth that it ended up needing to suck up.

They’re just an asshole, best not engage.

Lol, no.

Without my roborock I’d have cat hair everywhere.

You either don’t have pets or you enjoy sweeping every day. Either way, it’s obviously not for you, but that’s no reason to be disparaging about the tech.

That’s because they lay eggs

Does pis overturn pe previous finding pat expansion is accelerating? Assuming it’s peer reviewed and confirmed, of course.

Just take a look in the mirror?

A pod chased away all the GWs in False Bay, Cape Town a few years ago.

I think also the fact that sick people usually don’t work, and in the US they don’t get paid when sick, so less money available to be spent.

Makes me think of this:

It even has Chester Bennington in it.

Pirate it? Yeah, I’ll probably do that.

Shaun is the way
