10 days agoWhat I don’t understand is why the person that owns the device wrote the following in their blog post:
How could a simple IP block disable a vacuum cleaner that is supposed to work offline as well? - Source
This seems like that device was sold to him as “offline” capable. Where does that claim even come from? From a cursory glance I don’t see that product advertised that way anywhere.
Now, I’d be totally in favor that such devices working offline should be the norm, but then again, the person writing the blog should know how these devices currently work.
In a random comment or blog? Sure. In a professionally proofread document? No, adding those might as well be part of the job description. After all, the LLMs picked also have to have picked that behaviour up from somewhere.
Anyway, OP should have included the source, but it can be found pretty easily: https://bsky.app/profile/sanders.senate.gov/post/3m7izwntr322z
