Shhhh. Lemmy doesn’t want to hear truth. Neither they want to hear that Musk actually doesn’t own tesla, only 12.8% of it. He still has billions of his own money and is set for life.
Unless he got Luigi-ed, he has nothing to worry about.
I pulled a trigger in 2024 for their 2023 pick. Dreame l20 ultra. It has app and does connect to the net. My pihole doesn’t necessary send tons of requests outside. Just occasionally and most of them is when I visit app.
If you want truly self hosted vacuum, check out valetudo and their list of supported vacs. This way you would retain most of not all features and it will be fully your own device.
Haha. Ofc with these prices and features compared to some other good Chinese and other brands roomba is doomed. Like check vacuum wars on YT. Middle model roombas are on par with your typical Chinese brand robots but price is double. Basically, you pay for a brand 🤷.
Lemmy is more polished and populated now than before. Hope influx stays and we got all the real people from reddit and bots stay there.
