Got questions about robot vacuums? I've got answers! I'm hosting a subscriber-exclusive AMA on @verge today. Come, ask me anything (about robot vacuums!)

These are the robot vacuum-mops I recommend for every type of home theverge.com/gadgets/932425…

I won't be able to make DREAME NEXT in SFO because I'll be in LA that week. But if you want a good overview of DREAME's *extensive* ambitions beyond vacuums and hair products, @jp2e has a fantastic overview: theverge.com/report/914244/…

@celsoneto07 My windows all have muting (wood between the panes) so they don’t work for me. I’m trying to find someone at The Verge with big enough windows to test one! I’ve seen the winbot in action though and it looks solid.

Hey @jp2e! Have you tested any window cleaner robot? A friend recommended a ECOVAC WINBOT, but it's my first time shopping for those...

This story is actually insane: • dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic • refuses to use the normal app like a peasant • Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller • Claude delivers the goods • pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully • except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums • checks again • yep, seven thousand • DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification • any valid token works for any unit on the planet • Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries • live vacuum camera feeds everywhere • full floor plans from the mapping data • some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching • one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history • all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick • does the right thing and reports it • DJI fixes it in two days • back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner • IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security
