It's not the navigation that requires the server but the processing of the mapping data.

Which in itself is BS because most of these vacuums come with hardware roughly equivalent of a top of the line smartphone from about 5-6 years ago. They can easily do the raw data to map conversion, even if it's a bit slow and takes 20-30 seconds.

Also if you read the article it specifies that the damn thing is already running Google Cartographer which is a SLAM 3D map builder software - one of the better pro-grade mapping software suites, mind you. So the whole claim of cloud needed for processing is BS.

He needs drink in the morning,
He needs drink in the evening,
Every day of the we-ee-eek give him liquor
He don't care if it's rainin', don't care if it's snowin'
Long as there's a bottle standin' there showin'
Oh he needs drink always, can't go a single day
If he ain't riding high, then honey, he just can't stay,
He needs drink always, from the sunset to the dawn
If you ain’t got a big ole’ flask, boy, just move along

What leaks do you think he's investigating?

The random ones that appear in his pants. He still hasn't found the culprit tho.

Of course it ain't real users.

Reddit has had a major bot problem a decade ago and little has been done to mitigate it - beyond banning legitimate users who dared to be too loud about it.

I've moderated a relatively small sub, and pretty much for every legitimate post a day, you'd get 6 to 10 bot posts literally pulling an older post verbatim word for word, or maybe introducing a typo just to make detection harder...

Reddit's response to the issue? "Hey, why don't you pay us ~$25 a month just so you can continue using that open source automatic bot detection system we refuse to build into the site itself?".

If this was a unique instance of a potential Nazi dogwhistle I'd say let's give them the benefit of the doubt, and consider it a mistake. After all, who of us has never ever fat-fingered some typing and accidentally pressed a letter twice?

But the thing is, this is like, the hundredth Nazi dogwhistle around the orange turdsack to happen "accidentally" in the past few years. From the MyPillow 14.88 pricing, Kegbreath's very obvious negative space 88 tattoo, to multiple people close to the admin just randomly throwing Nazi salutes, etc., and that's not even counting the literal Nazi marches waving Nazi and MAGA flags together...

Fun fact: embalming fluids are usually flammable.

Do with this information what you wish.

I know they do. I doubt however that there's anybody who'd dare touch, let alone be able to lift, Donnie's "235lbs" body.

Well, the loss of traffic is a knock-on effect of the misrepresentation. So is the fact that every other portal will try to sling shit at the ones affected by it.

I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)

Apple had to turn it off for their sunmary mode after backlash, even though the option always had the "these summaries are generated by AI and can be inaccurate" warnings placed prominently.

Google doing this shit without warning or notice will get them in shit water. News portals and reporters are generally not too fond of their articles being completely misrepresented.

Oh no the local library is closed today, what do I do with my need for reliable information?

Dunno mate, have you tried asking Hitler?

It will be a very interesting period when he dies, but for 4-5 days nobody dares to remove his body from the White House, thereby leaving his rotting corpse in office.
