If you're scared of your #RoboVacuumCleaner due to the immense possible #privacy violation (hello China)! Check out this awesome project:

I can't overstate the importance of the people behind projects like this!

I feel like they safely guide us through a digital jungle covered in #traps that could fuck us now or later.

What privacy concerns are you referring to?

These robots have cameras, microphones, lidar sensors etc., mapping your entire home. Everything can be viewed and controlled remotely via App. All the data is being routed to you over the cloud of the manufacturer.

I have to trust that manufacturer to not abuse this data.

Why does it need a microphone? And why does it even need an internet connection?

It doesn't need either. Still has it though.

That’s crazy.

What is the name of the product?
