It’s important to me to use devices and services that are local only, but I could only find such robot mowers that are beyond my skillset to build. I have no interest in building and 3d printing and flashing firmware, etc. I just want to buy a device and use it, without my privacy being sold. I’m willing to pay, but I guess there’s not enough market for anyone to build/sell that.

Same with vacuums, by the way. I have a dreametech model that’s supported by Valetudo, but the instructions to flash it sounded difficult and risky enough that I just use it as is, with my home map (and whatever other data it gleans) going through Dreametech’s servers and being sold to whomever.

Sad.
