I would not say they cloned the design. The first breakthrough for Roborock was the S5, which had LiDAR and a map. Both was not something iRobot had at the time. iRobot simply chose to not innovate in the areas people wanted first. People didn’t like the random cleaning that the roombas did for a long time compared to the structured of almost everybody else.
Really? It can’t do no-go zones and lines without the cloud? Even the „Chinese competition“ can do that without internet.
Sure, but keep write operations on SD cards in mind.
You can also look at thin clients like the Futro s740, or the much more powerful Lenovo tiny series (like the m720q)
Well these robots run a Linux distribution as a base. So yes, sure, they will run doom just fine.
Yet somehow people still use PS or horsepower in everyday language. At least in Germany.
Why though? When you run multiple services on your machine, conflicts between these can cause headaches. Updating them is also often not trivial on bare metal. Let alone migrating to a newly set up machine (I suppose you could automate that with something like ansible)
What would you prefer and why? Bare metal?
24“ with 1080p sucks. The pixels are clearly visible at normal viewing distance on a desk.
Depending on the dongle, that would increase power consumption. I think that is difficult in the current state, seeing that there is not much power to spare at the moment.
And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)
Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…
Free Tier? You mean the 30 day trial?
I am more of a Lenovo guy, but they are more or less the same anyway.
Here is a great list of these tiny PCs: https://github.com/a-little-wifi/TinySecrets
The linked article claims that this is no longer the case since about a decade now.
I have one installed on a raspberry pi 5 with NVMe adaptor.
- The ESU license will be associated with the Microsoft account used to enroll. You may be prompted to sign in with a Microsoft account if you typically sign into Windows with a local account.
Hahaha fuck you microsoft.
You can enroll in ESU in one of the following three ways: At no additional cost if you are syncing your PC Settings. Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points. One-time purchase of $30 USD or local currency equivalent plus applicable tax.
Yep. I will choose the masgrave option thank you.
Yes, people don’t know what they need. 400km range is PLENTY of the vehicle can charge fast.
What do you mean? I have not seen ads in the OS itself…?
Well that’s the point, it is not a joke, they want to highlight that tariffs are stupid. That was already the first answer you got.
Then you said you did not understand that, and you didn’t ask for an explanation, so you got a cheeky answer. Then you complained that nobody explained it to you. Now you got another explanation. And as a response you complained about it being not what you asked for.
Now here I am, explaining to you why you got the responses that you got. And let me guess, you will complain about it too.
The rommbas? Maybe. The other ones? They have plenty storage.
