Someone bought a Roomba here, and it is now attempting to take down the Ethernet network here by eating network cables off the floor (had to save the Ethernet cables). It's got a camera on it (yes... privacy hole) if you want to peer into my life 🤪 #robots#roomba
If you have a #beagle, do not get a new #Roomba. The new ones are too quiet and won't cause your dog to absolutely flip out. She just stares at it and moves out of the way. Boring!
#EU#Amazon#Roomba#iRobot#Antitrust: "Amazon.com Inc.’s proposed $1.4 billion acquisition of Roomba maker iRobot Corp. is expected to be blocked by the European Union’s antitrust regulator over concerns that the deal will harm other robot vacuum makers.
The e-commerce giant was told the deal was likely to be rejected at a meeting Thursday with officials from the European Commission, according to people familiar with the matter. A final decision still needs formal approval from the EU’s political leadership and is due by Feb. 14.
Not impressed with the #roomba mop so far. 30 minutes in and it's still mapping the kitchen. First run though. It better be much faster after learning the map.
My cheap-ass off brand I currently use does the whole floor in about an hour, vacuum only
I'm new to the whole #Roomba thing but I can already tell it's great at dealing with 80 percent of the problem so I can focus on ignoring the remaining 20 😬

My partner has an antagonistic relationship with the #robot#vacuum; just because it derps around making "somebody trying to break into the house" sounds.
I once came home from a trip to find it locked in a closet.
I always make it a point to apologize to it and make sure that it knows who I am so that when the #robots rise up they know who's side I'm on.
My cat intercepted our Roomba and was caught on camera. This was the resulting picture, unretouched except for cropping. I live the whole composition with the sun perfectly aligning with the cat.
