minus-squaregopher@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 days agoIt’s a shame what happened with Neato. They were (I think) the first to add LIDAR for great systematic cleaning. Had one of their early models (no cloud, just a screen) and it was great except for the NiMH battery. These days using https://valetudo.cloud/ is the way to go, to avoid dependency on cloud.
