This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’m in a park. The grass is being mown by a robot. (lemmy.world)

We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

Okay somehow the words rock solid wireless emergency stop seem oxymoronic. I don't care how it was programmed what wireless communication system uses or anything else. I have a hard time believing wireless emergency stops can be foolproof.

We know they can't. Unfortunately the target demographic for this mower probably doesn't care if the e-stop works.
