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!

Not sure on these larger industrial mowers, but the little WORX robot mower I have does have a programming port open for firmware updates. There's been some custom firmwares out there; no need for signed code or anything like that.

I really wouldn't be surprised if this thing is unsecured. I bet the hardest thing is accessing a port while it is running.
