i would not buy ecovax devices

Hm, ecovax feels no need to patch this bluetooth exploit that lets you p0wn their robot vacuums and lawnmowers and do things like turn on their built-in cameras and microphones, and have them connect to random servers directly themselves.

It’s on the basis that since it’s bluetooth, you need to be in the area of the device, but, uh, that’s also true for hax0ring your local wifi? So I don’t see how that’s actually better.

Anyway – neat! Maybe don’t buy their stuff.

Why does your lawnmower need a camera and a microphone!? Are you taking a zoom meeting while you mow the lawn?

I have absolutely no idea. Maybe it recognises screaming when it runs over somebody? xD

Seriously tho' while I have no idea I do kinda love the idea of running the thing by remote and going up to somebody and talking to them in a Bender voice, like you're the lawnmower. "Hey! Chet! Move yr ass, I'm workin' here!" BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
