That may explain it. I have a Qrevo S, which is from 2024, while yours is from 2022. The only thing that it ever gets stuck at is one spot where, from under the couch, it can see out the ground-level window, and get stuck between the couch and window ledge (not actually stuck, just confused), because the LiDAR sees out the window. And I fixed that just by setting a small exclusion zone there. It never "gets lost" - maybe your house has some vast open spaces that it can't handle? But the LiDAR seems to see pretty far. The only other issues I've had are things like where I'll have a loose cord on the floor or some large piece of debris or whatnot, and even then, it's usually good at not getting stock on them. I'm also impressed with how well it deals with doors vs. a Roomba - my Roomba used to always get itself locked in rooms by accidentally closing doors after it entered, while the Roborock really tries to avoid ever touching them.

The Qrevo S has actually rotating mops, and they do a superb job with the floor. Spotless. My robot has the hardest mopping job in the world, too - it has to clean under my parrot's cage, and he poops off the edge onto a plastic mat under it ;)

I've never had to contact support - hopefully I don't need to :)

Cute, but I think reality would like a few words:

Planning permission. Especially so in Europe, maybe not such a problem with Trump, apart from the fact he *hates* anything "green".
Geology. Not all ground is suitable for building a heavy structure like a dam, or retaining the water it would hold back, reducing the number of glaciers this could apply to somewhat, and a proper survey can take a lot of time. You definitely do not want to build a dam on unsuitable ground.
Geography. You'd need to be able to get construction materials to the dam, and multiple glaciers may run off into the same valley, reducing the number of potential locations for hydro even further. Also, in the kinds of places where you find a lot of glaciers (mountainous regions, duh!), the valleys tend to be heavily used for things like habitation and agriculture, which would need relocating first.
The clock is ticking. Once the glaciers are gone, your dams are only going to be dealing with runoff from precipitation. Which isn't what it used to be where the glaciers are or the glaciers wouldn't be shrinking in the first place.

So, even with a viable location, you've got to get planning permission, relocate anything in the way, build the dam & turbines, connect it to the grid, and generate as much electricity as you can before... Oh, wait, wasn't there a glacier up there when we started?

You don't fear the Soviets you love them. The Soviets are the friend of the right wing because the Soviets weren't Communists they were oligarchs and right wingers and you love them.

That's why you can have Daddy Trump fucking kids and doing whatever the fuck Putin says and just loving every moment of it.

The US Republican party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the KGB and Soviet Russia under a different brand name. You're not fooling anyone. Go back to worshiping your kiddy fucker.

Did it take to get that nonsense modded up to +4.

It's impossible to have conversations with the right wing because the right wing never does anything in good faith. The second you do anything in good faith on the right wing you stop being on the right wing.

The right wing is about obedience. You obey the people above you on the chain and you get obedience from the people below you. That's why it appeals to so many people. For some they are cowards that want order and want to feel like somebody is in charge and for a lot of them they are losers who desperately crave respect but are incapable of doing anything worthy of it.

And that's why the right wing will always support kiddy fuckers. So long as those pedophiles are above them on the chain they are unquestionable and can do no wrong. And Trump is at the absolute top of the right wing chain. So he can go around fucking kids and still get solid support from 1/3 of the country.

Meanwhile foreign nations are using the destructiveness of right-wing politics and economics to obliterate America.

Honestly I think those foreign nations are being stupid. They do not understand how crazy and dumb Americans are and they haven't realized that although we may be destroying our economy we aren't doing the same to our military. Sooner or later we're going to hand nuclear launch codes to religious lunatics and then it's game over.

But in the meantime you'll be able to say the n word in public and get away with it and people will tell you Merry Christmas and you won't have to look at trans girls except when you're masturbating.

She only missed the memo because she was new to the game. Had it been directed by a more established CEO instead it would have been brushed under the rug. They always protect their own kind, and she wasn't (yet) one of them.

Just wait until we get to see how hard CEOs will pull to defend Elon when Tesla fails to turn in the earnings his bonus is dependent on.

I saw Google and Plus together and got momentarily excited. :-D

Oligarchs and billionaires do.

Getting worried about government is like getting worried about a hammer. I'm not worried about the hammer I'm worried about the psychopath bashing my head in with it.

What's funny is the same people who tell me gun control is bad also tell me that we should ban hammers.

For the depressingly large number of people who don't get the analogy see, government is the hammer here and conservatives demand we eliminate government without understanding that is both impossible and leaves a giant power vacuum that billionaires are very happy to exploit.

You've got Google you could leave your bubble anytime you want. You could for example use Google to find multiple news stories and lots of direct evidence of exactly what I described. You could find lots more direct evidence of right wing media being inorganic and billionaire backed too if you care to leave your bubble.

But golly gosh gee isn't it comfortable there?

I mean until it's not. The other thing the internet outside your bubble is full of is people who are just fucked eight ways from Sunday because of right-wing trickle down economics.

If you're old enough you will die before it hits you. Good luck.

When this bullshit crashes the economy. Unlike the 2008 market crash the upcoming grifter crash is going to have no floor because there's no actual assets behind it except your 401k.

There's only so much money laundering can do. A recent study found. Since 1975 80 trillion dollars has been moved to the top. So consumers are not going to be able to weather this. Especially with the collusion going on for rent that was just starting to get eliminated before the administrative change.

I think the problem is we have too many old people who think they are insulated from this. By the time they find out they aren't it'll be too late.

I think you're wrong. I think the U.S. government has too much incentive to bail them out again no matter how badly they tank.

But you're not wrong about Ford being the least likely to survive the next ten years without massive government bailouts. IMO, Ford has never made good cars by any reasonable standard, giving rise to jokes all the way back in the late 1980s of Ford standing for "Found On the Road Dead" or "Fell Off the Road Dead", and I've seen no evidence that they have gotten much better since.

Here is my point. Europeans are living in a glass house, and throwing bricks at their mortal enemy.

If you want to believe that Europe is teh zenith of sophistication and the most peaceful people on earth. Then I. fully support your hatred and superiority. Until. then every time you hypocrites do your thing, like turd throwing monkeys, I'll be happy to point it out. Especially when you and your ilk try to change every conversation into some anti-US rant. At that point, I'm happy to troll ya. Tit for tat, mygood man.

By someone legitimate, or by someone looking to get page hits?

Oh, Consumer Reports... the same company that has pretty much been dumping on Tesla for many years, and whose criticisms have been widely ridiculed by actual Tesla owners.

When you suggested this cyber truck was better than literally any product. Those fake leather boots being sold on YouTube or a better product than the cybertruck.

The problem with electric trucks is the range when fully loaded. I think that they would be useful for municipalities that need a work truck that putts is around fixing a few things but if you're actually going to haul things in it the range drops to about 100 to 150 miles before you need to charge and the people I know that drive around a lot in a truck do about 300 in a day.

The cybertruck is too unreliable to be used for any of that though. It's the ultimate pavement princess.

I've heard that the rivian is okay but it's kind of expensive and it's a smaller truck than the F-150 lightning.

All that said most of the people I've seen online who own one bought it for a pavement princess. I haven't seen a lot of people buying electric trucks as work trucks. I think if they could get the rain shop another 30 or 40, maybe 50% then the electricity versus gas would bring people in.

When it comes to work trucks I can tell you that people are going to go have the best for their pocketbook

Whatever little money could have been made that way would absolutely not have been worth the PR risk of it leaking, especially since Google employees aren't good at keeping secrets.

Nah. I had some conversations with a guy who had worked on it and it really just didn't turn out to be very useful. It didn't find a lot of stuff that wasn't already in public leaked data databases, and when it did send information to users they were often confused about what to do. Worse, fake alert emails were being used for phishing. Shutting the program down probably won't impede that abuse much, but maybe a few people who get a phishing email who would have trusted it because they knew about and had signed up for the program will now not trust it because they know the program has been shut down.
