It’s a shame what happened with Neato. They were (I think) the first to add LIDAR for great systematic cleaning. Had one of their early models (no cloud, just a screen) and it was great except for the NiMH battery.

These days using https://valetudo.cloud/ is the way to go, to avoid dependency on cloud.

It’s in the article.

Of their $291M in revenue, they reported a gross profit of $258M and an operating profit of $15.5M.

Red Hat probably contributes to Open Source and Linux more than any other company around. Are they perfect? Of course not, and it’s fair and good to discuss and criticise them when warranted. But overall they seem to contribute positively much more than negatively.

How are they “doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem.” exactly ?
