From what I know the law is passed already. And they will become illegal end of 2026.

In the EU/EEA or where?

If 20 minutes is all you need once a week, yeah it maybe doesnt make sense for you.

I have a dog and need to vacuum at least once a day, currently.

Without a robot vacuum, Id go crazy.

Ok fair enough.

I like the pricing of this and especially the health check part. But the programming an SFP module part has been a thing forever. In Europe at least. Flexoptics for example have their own boxes to program optics.

Archive.is is broken if you use cloudflare dns.

But according to the FAQ, the vacuums still dont work when they are offline, as they will turn reset their wifi until they are online again.

> When the vacuum is disconnected from the internet, it will attempt to disconnect itself from Wi-Fi and reconnect itself until it can reach the Roborock servers.

Yeah, that’s exactly what happens if I don’t add an exception for it to my iot vlan - it keeps reconnecting to WiFi. Scheduled cleaning doesn’t work without internet either..

I guess I’m not buying the next vacuum until I’m 100% sure it works offline and supports Matter or something..

Personally, Im currently looking at the switchbot vacuums.

They recently started working with Home Assistant with their "Works with" program.

Not 100% sure what the status of each robot is though.

Yep it's an important distinction -- the vacuum itself depends on the cloud, but the integration in Home Assistant does not.

I looked just now and it cost 2500 euro without any storage.

Was it on sale or something?

Huh, indeed, above 2300 eur now. I made a deposit earlier this year and it shipped in August, didn’t see the price increased.

Considering both Graphene and Lineage have been complaining about google making development harder and harder for how long will that be a possibility?

Play Store has an attestation API, Google could simply make it harder to run banking apps and similar if you run GrapheneOS. Something like requiring banking apps to use a stricter mode. GrapheneOS even mentions it's not easy spoofing this entirely as it change often on the FAQ page.

There's only so much you can do as a maintainer of a custom OS like Graphene before its too hard to maintain. I don't think there's enough coming in by way of donations to play catch-up.

Need legislation quick. But I suspect the EU doesn't want side loading either in the grand scheme of surveillance.

Thats the Banks fault then. I complained to mine and they removed the safetynet check / let you skip it.

Cannot confirm.

I often look fondly at the hardware I have.

I recently build one pc for each PC generation of the 90s. (486,Pentium 1-2,Athlon)

Still love them even after having built them.

Finding back into DOS is quite interesting, since its so different to PCs today.

They dont demand it. Its a possibility that the company can do to make shipping easier for the customer.

If they dont, the package will be inspected in the destination country and taxed there. Making the shipment take longer and more expensive for the customer, as shipment companies levy additional fees.

PSD2 is that standard.

I personally use Finanzguru (for the German market, it supports many banks).

Likely to be many others.

Seems like my bank started supporting it last year. Will check it out.

Clearly, I must have been searching wrong!
