Don’t get me started on the motherfuckers at iRobot. I bought their products a few years ago because I didn’t want to buy “Chinese trash” (Roborock) but regret it every time I use the damn things. (Big mistake, I’d happily buy a Roborock today.)
The app, the stupid need for the cloud, the lack of software updates and Amazon buying them out have all led to a matrix of non-stop “what the fuck is it even doing?” experiences. I’m not one to bitch about “I can’t understand their accent” but support is like 1% more intelligent than the stupid-ass LLM that tries to help you at first.
No, your “troubleshooting” document doesn’t have any fucking relevance to my problem, and my “router” (they probably mean WAP) isn’t some NETGEAR shit from Walmart either. I need y’all motherfuckers to understand things like “IPv6,” “native iOS app,” “local connectivity,” etc. not some guy fisting the keyboard at random between wanks on some farm on the other side of the fucking planet getting paid 25¢ an hour to pretend to care.
