The camera is how the mapping works. It's pretty hard to do a good job without one of those.

There's 3kW European ones??

I though they stopped selling those decades ago. It's been 900W for nearly a decade now.

I've got a 1200W wet/dry extractor and it's noticeably more powerful, but those pro ones aren't domestic vacuum cleaners so they are exempt. It's also easy excessive for domestic vacuuming though you can use it for that if you don't mind a huge, heavy and noisy machine with excessive suction.

It's not a good example of "US invents, China interests, EU regulates".

The fundamentals of the visual map building that these cleaners rely on voices from these two papers:

You'll more they both come from within the EU (at the time).

Of course they built on other work and were built on by other work from around the world.

What the MAHA people don't do is read papers. I do.

E.G. Here's a train of thought:

1) A long time ago, in the UK, a study showed a significant correlation between Parkinson's and exposure to insecticides.

2) More recently, a study showed lectins from wheat forming a ring around the vagus nerve and traveling up it to the Parkinson's site in the brain where biosimilarity between the lectins and tissues in the brain set up the autoimmune reaction that is part of Parkinson's. This wasn't a dodgy correlation study, they took photographs.

3) 99+% of the insecticides modern human's encounter are the "natural" insecticides in plants.

Conclusion : I'm suspicious of wheat and not for the usual reasons.

I bought a 43 inch smart tv from LG to be my monitor. I'm using it right now. Never connected to the network.

It takes a lot of effort to coordinate bringing in cocaine in USFS planes, turning it into crack, and putting it on the street. They were busy.

You should get a dictionary so you can learn the difference between objective and subjective. Enjoy your ratio.

Look, I know "nuclear device" is correctly generic, so that RTGs and things like them, legitimately count. But let's be serious: right around the very same time this real stuff happened, some really great fake stuff happened too: the movie Goldfinger.

And once you've watched Goldfinger, "nuclear device" is just a euphemism for a bomb. So don't go calling RTGs "nuclear devices," please.

"Make America healthy again"; unless it's bad for business.

He is just a symptom, and a recent one at that. Him dying will not solve anything as the infrastructure which brought him to us is still there and waiting to foist someone else upon us. This isn't about him, he is a just a useless fool who is easy to manipulate.

This is the dumbest of all dumb takes on Slashdot. Every time I post about the obvious and well-accepted failures of capitalism I get modded down but somehow this place is a haven for leftist thought? No, you are just a shitty person with shitty ideas.

We're funding one not only historically but RIGHT NOW

Venezuela, bitch.

Yeah, we don't have a great firewall, we just have unconstitutional citizen spying programs with taps on all backhaul links and points of ingress/egress.

Wait until you find out about credit scores and employment or renting a home.

Yeah, we sent it to them so they could build us stuff, and our nation was very much founded on ignoring patents.

You mean the rare earths we stopped producing because we got them cheaper from China, and could be producing again but we don't want to? Oh yeah and tariffs.

My point here is not that any of this shit China is doing is great. My point is that we are doing all the same shit, and if you don't think so, you're a nationalistic dipshit with his head so far up his ass he can see out of his own mouth.

So now you want sites to verify ID before people can post, so that they can be ID'd if some content they posted is deemed illegal? Think about that one some more.

Now do Israel oppressing Palestinians.

That's a nice bit of racism right there: all Jews are really responsible for Israel.

iRobot and Amazon say EU approval was the problem. Not sure if they had a specific reason to be selectively truthful and focus on only one of multiple regulatory hurdles; but they don't mention the US.

It also looks like the sale is basically formalizing their plan to gut themselves. Shockingly enough; firing everyone you can and switching to rebadging stuff from an ODM because that's cheaper puts you in "what would you say you do here?" territory pretty quickly.
