One man's robot vacuum was constantly communicating with its manufacturer, sending a detailed 3D map of his house halfway across the world.

    iLife

    iLife makes vacuums that map your house and can be remote controlled

    Just so we are clear. You should all up your name and shame game.

            Just because it wouldn’t stick, doesn’t mean they can’t sue you and make your life more difficult. (Not saying you shouldn’t call out bad actors like that)

              And when they sue its the time to come together and support the targets of their lawsuit to bring in the best of the best lawyers to take them down.

              You always risk a punch in the face when standing up for yourself but that doesn’t mean you should just accept abuse.

      All modern robot vacuums do this. Amazon and Zillow actually buy that data too.
