I’m absolutely not against robits in the home, I think the possibilities are really cool but like… Alright actually, here’s a side by side comparison:
Alexa can play Skyrim tho
Damn you’re right.
I’m on mobile can somebody add that as a point for Roomba.
here you go
Roomba creates maps of the inside of your house
You’re like the 400th person to add this so:
This is the outline of my bedroom, with approximate furniture. Information I might not want handed out to the government or corporations or whatever. Not even including dubious terrain like rugs and clutter:
Here’s what a roomba, at floor level, with clutter and obstructions and stuff-under-stuff might be able to ‘map’ as navigable area:
This is completely useless to anybody except people developing robot vaccuums who might want diagnostic data. This isn’t even close to the level of Alexa’s microphone bollocks. Hit Alexa with a hammer, Roomba is… Safe, for now.
I saw the red and blue and my first response was “Roomba is using this sensitive information for GERRYMANDERING purposes”
SWAT team, bursting into your room, having been briefed with detailed Roomba-collected maps: *avoids difficult rug*
Can give the cat a piggyback ride.
We bought a roomba this year and somehow ended up with a non-wifi model. Which means it can’t send Amazon terrible floorplans of our apartment…but also means it has a lot of trouble even remembering the floorplan of our apartment. @modern-major-wonka has to follow it around while it’s working because it has performance anxiety.
Its name is Marvin the Paranoid Roomba and it is friend-shaped.
Just learned about something very very cool that I’m shocked I didn’t know about before- Paleoburrows.
These are giant tunnels, mostly found in Brazil. Over 1,500 of them are documented.
It was originally assumed that they were dug by indigenous people, and many of them were repurposed into human shelters at some point, but we now believe they were built by prehistoric megafauna.
We know this because of distinct claw marks along the walls of the caverns, unlike anything humans have produced.
They come in a variety of sizes.
The smaller ones were probably dug by large armadillos, such as Holmesina.
The larger could have been dug by giant ground sloths like Glossotherium.
Thank you for reading, I just thought this was cool and wanted to share.
