What's an Eight Sleep? A little while ago I asked my infosec Twitter followers what IoT device in my house they thought I found a live AWS key in. (For those that don’t know, Amazon keys can be incredibly dangerous if exposed) Guesses ranged from a refrigerator to a bidet, but no one got it right. The right answer was my bed.

Robot vacuums are impressive devices that will clean your floors well without complaining (much). As prices have dropped, these busy little bots have become less of a luxury and more of a necessity. They can reach places most standup vacs never see (under beds and sofas) and, thanks to better batteries and robot brains, they rarely get tired of cleaning.
