Why does your robot vacuum need a camera feed, and speakers? Who thought that was a good idea? I truly loathe the future.

Well, cameras are part of the sensor array mostly, and assist with navigation. Speakers can be useful if the vacuum is stuck or low battery away from its dock.

Seems like you can't find a robo vacuum without a camera these days, anyone not running https://valetudo.cloud/ is asking for trouble.

Do smart toasters exist yet?

Someone make the maniacal toaster from FNV Big MT next, please.

I remember seeing that vid around when it came out and it just furthering my notion that we really really do live in a world where basically everything nowadays is designed shittily, or outright with intentional obedience, all to keep us buying shit that breaks down or wears out, instead of even having the option to save a bit more, learn how to maintain a well designed thing made with quality and save tons of money and resources in the long run.
