If your priority is not to benefit to Chinese giving them data it's great but you'd still give them money instead of directing it European manufacturers (if they exist).
For the record it's a joint venture with Chinese ecovacs introduced at IFA 2025. Bosch could benefit from Ecovacs experience but I believe there was a few hiccups cause when I received the robot its software was incomplete and buggy, and also although it was available the ads campaign seemed it have been pu my on hold.
The SW has been coming together little by little and now we can program the robot for regular cleaning (which is what I expected a year ago..).
I went for Bosch Spotless MAX (without camera) cause they were supposedly made in Germany but it's written made in China on it's back..
I hope it harvest as little data as possible but I can't know for sure.
It works, I can't compare with anything else but it works.
Reddit, LinkedIn and YouTube. Those are hard to quit for me.
I could easily make it with Facebook and Instagram, less easily with whatsapp which definetly affected the number of people I talk to..
Somehow I am a linkedIn addict. It probably come from a receny unemployment period, but even before I used it frequently to keep updated on company news.
An Eink smartphone from a Chinese company: Bigme Hibreak pro. It never worked, I sent I back for repair and they shipped it back to me in the same buggy conditions... Now it lies in a drawer completely frozen and unresponsive...
Why don't you also help with your brother marriage organization, so you get to spend time with her ? :)
Also, please. Take care of you!!!
For my part I have no motivation for my new work.. I find it very boring and wait for the end of the day all day. Could be better could be worst I guess.
