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.
It’s got electrolytes
Yeah but it’s bullshit censorship by big American corporations to pander to their conservative supporters.
Fucking sign of our times where speech is no longer free.
Well call me a cheap sloppy lover.
I’m sys eng/devops/whatever marketing terminology they decide to use, so I’m okay with running Linux, it’s more annoying that I’ll have to probably dual boot to be able to use the Autodesk applications I use.
But thank you for the suggestion, I’ll give it a look.
Nuh, I just use Enterprise and disable the shit I don’t need.
Ill probably just move to Arch tbh.
Yup, only happens in folders that are synced, I actually reinstalled Windows specifically because of the issues I was seeing.
I don’t know what exactly it’s doing but it annoys the shit out of me. I should probably use process Explorer or something to check what is going on but I’m too lazy.
I moved some pictures a little earlier and it did it again.
I’m still on Win10 and in general the context menu loads reasonably fast for me.
But even in WinXP if you had broken registry values it would cause the context menu to load really slowly.
Yeah, when I move files locally, on the same volume. It’s real fun watching my Explorer hang when moving files, I have a few hundred thousand files in OneDrive and however they’re indexing and tracking them is pretty fucked. And no, it’s not the disks.
I’m so done with Microsoft.


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.
I use it, I even pay for it. But Holy fuck it’s bad! It makes explorer freeze when right clicking sometimes, moving files is slow, I can’t create a new folder and name it at the same time because it interrupts the process, so I create new folder, it takes over, then I have to manually rename it from new folder.
Its picture viewer in the Web app freezes half of the time, actually, on the android app too.
If I didn’t get such a good deal for it, I would go somewhere else. It’s fucking trash.


Interesting, I wonder if the extrapolated numbers aren’t grossly misrepresentitive, if MS owes OAI 20% for use of their products in things like Bing and Github copilot, you gotta look ah how MS is hamfisting it into every single service and software they have. That’s a lot of usage of OAI’s services. So I wouldn’t rely on the MS payments as a basis for their revenue.


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


Ah yes, that’s why they make apps unavailable for older devices with no way to install them besides some iTunes hack that I’m not sure works anymore.
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.
They’re having a major outage as I’m reading this, lol.
