The domestic robot's lidar has detected evidence of a mirror universe.

@th
Your landlord will charge you for any m² you use in the mirror universe!

@ultem @th Their landlord will charge them regardless of them using any m² in the mirror universe or not!

@th
Hilarious! Did the robot try to enter the mirror universe in order to have a more detailed look?

@th as long as its mirror universe counterpart doesn't come through your mirror and start spreading shit all over the floor

@th

Hallo Tina,
schmeiss bitte Windows runter und installier dir eine Linux Distribution deiner Wahl. Für Umsteiger empfiehlt sich Ubuntu oder ein Flavour davon. Dann brauchst Du solche Virenscanner gar nicht mehr.

@th lol, I had to block the mirror in my room when I was setting mine up for the first time

@th I have been thinking of buying a vacuum robot, but are there ones that respect your data privacy?

@Victor Venema You don't have to connect that robot to the internet.
@VictorVenema @th I have a old unconnected one. So if it doesn't respect my privacy at least it has the decency of keeping what it discovered for itself !

@th get rid of that mirror.unless you know how to use it.

@th wait, does the robot not see itself in the mirror?

@piebald @th I don't think we have to worry until it does see itself.

@th The question arises what the mirror universe beholds. I am hoping for wise wizards, magic and a vile, majestic dragon.

Oh and perhaps a rainbow unicorn.

@th Nuke it from orbit--it's the only way to be sure.

@th The "room" behind my wardrobe mirror is labeled Narnia for a reason 😄

@kroimon @th I would say the developer had some fun with naming conventions

@th the robot made a few attempts to break on through to the other side using The Doors algorithm.

@th It WILL clean that room on the other side of the mirror. You cannot stop it.

@th Looks like the Roborock interface. Just set up my Roborock Q5.

@th robovac staring into the mirror universe like "why can't I go through this door, who is that other robot who gets in the way"

@th That is incredibly creepy, and also pretty damned cool too.

Does the robovac come and spy on you…when you are SLEEPING, mapping your bedroom so it KNOWS when the Mothership says to ATTACK!"

@th it's clearly not self aware, because otherwise it would've detected itself already taking care of it.

@th put a mark on the robot's face which it cannot detect except by looking at a mirror, and see if the robot can tell there is a mark on its face.

If it can, destroy it immediately, for the sake of humanity.

@th Well, hopefully it doesn't attempt to clean it. My Roomba is able to smack into things so hard that they break sometimes.

@th what made me giggle is the squiggly line in front of the mirror where it clearly tried to "cross over" 😂

@th
Great. Put a big wallwide mirror on the short roomside... The room will be very clean (depending on ur vac's batterys)

@th
and remember: never let it go between 2 mirrors ;-)

@cstross
Has to be on the side of a hotel. It's a classic example of hotelspace and CASE RAINBOW.

@th

Yesterday it was the chat bot
Today the floorbot’s acting strange
Alone with our devices
We do nothing but complain
About our tragic human fate

@th
The latest episode of the Smashing Security Podcast has a funny seg on spying robovacs.
@smashingsecurity

@th Crikey, you've opened up a whole new world for me and I don't mean the mirror one
