I just discovered how good MikroTik routers (all devices in general) are.

RouterOS 7 looks amazing and the web UI is clean, powerful, and fast. Can’t believe I wasted money on cheap TP-Link and Cudy routers that broke when I tried to install OpenWRT. MikroTik gives you real control, pro-level features, and solid firmware right out of the box.

Wish I knew about them earlier. 🥹

This vacuum robot does something nefarious. When it does not get the chance to phone home to spew out all the data of your house, the mapping of all the places it has cleaned, in the privacy of your home, without your specific explicit consent, it bricks itself!

Go read about it here, be amazed at what this programmer has done, to make his robot work, without phoning home again.

There are several black and brown rectangular chips, alongside various resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components. Wires and connections are visible, forming a complex network. Text on the board reads, "ROBOT VACUUM" and the website address "hackaday.com/2023."

A MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a unique hardware identifier assigned to a device’s network interface card (#NIC). It helps devices communicate within a local network (#LAN).
