Reliance on automation will never end well. Just saying. This should have been expected.
If you’re opposed to modern conveniences, get a broom.

Good luck on your journey to live a tech free, pre-industrial life. Sounds unpleasant.

And good luck to you on your journey to avoid the concept of nuanced discussion in every conversation you have.
Sounds pleasanter.

Brooms are technology too, they were just invented thousands of years ago. They need to just switch to dirt floors like God intended. Oh wait, floors are technology too.
Yeah, everyone has to choose what “modern” means to them I guess, but I think people who are happy to use smartphones and computers but draw the line at robot vacuums are kind of silly. There’s a difference between the original post’s (very reasonable) desire to have a disconnected robot vacuum that can’t collect data, and the further level of derision that seems to come up anytime anyone wants to use any kind of convenience or time-saving device.

Okay buddy. Cool story. Enjoy automation freeing up all that time to spend staring at a screen and smugly missing the point.

I’m anti-cloud connected devices, too, but the right answer is getting one that’s local or disconnected. Guess they were too dumb to figure that out, and making fun of people who make the compromise on it maintained their ego.
