That was my first smartphone, and I absolutely loved it! Shame nothing like it ever came out again.

I recently bought a Brother Innov-IS and found it really easy to get started with. Didn't think I would enjoy sewing this much.

Based on this dumpster fire of a headline, I think the take-away can only be that Siemens and other train manufacturers have to start calling their trains "OMEGA RAIL" and "CHUNGUS 3000" or shit like that so it's worth a news article.

English isn't my first language. What does "tossing one's hair" mean?

No, it would just be the 🤣 emoji in different colors.

I wouldn't even call this "aesthetics". Rather "conceptual homogeneity" or something like that. It's what happens when you strive for a uniform look over a useful or visually pleasing one.

I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.

Let's hope he finds more time for trains now (which I also love).

You know what, you're absolutely correct. Enjoy!

Are there any third-party clients for Android that allow posting to both X and Mastodon? (sh.itjust.works)

I realize I may be out of luck here, because Twitter/X seems to have locked out third-party apps real good. Still, my line of work still has many folks on Twitter/X, which makes it difficult for me to fully switch over to Mastodon, and I would love a client that could ease the pains that this social media limbo currently imposes on me.

Robot vaccums: Manufacturers and models that protect users' privacy? (sh.itjust.works)

Cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4295133

My partner and I are getting a cat and consider getting a robot vacuum cleaner for our apartment to help keep it clean. Up until now, I've been against getting one due to privacy concerns and negative reports about certain manufacturers (e.g., iRobot/Roomba). Now I'm reevaluating, because my partner is sensitive to dust, and regular vacuuming will be a must.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations about manufacturers or models with a light privacy footprint or good reputation on that front?

I am aware that most robots that actually work will also gather data, and newer models even incorporate photo/video to improve pattern recognition performance. Still, I would be more comfortable with one that does that within reason (e.g., collects as little data as possible, transfers as little as possible to remote servers, encrypts data for transfer and storage).
