      In case you weren’t joking, there’s an excellent project called valetudo that allows you to neuter the phone-home capabilities of supported models of these dodgy chinese spyware machines that happen to also clean your house, with very decent home assistant compatibility.

      If you’re buying a 1k+ $£€ robot, make sure you really own it properly and hack it.
