Is Local AI the Unexpected Fix to the Obsolescence of Robot Vacuums?

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-06 17:00:25

During a presentation at IFA 2025, Deebot parent company Ecovacs (full disclosure: travel and lodging were paid by Ecovacs, but Gizmodo did not guarantee any coverage as a condition of accepting the trip) said repeatedly that its new X11 OmniCyclone robot vacuum‘s AI smarts are all on-device. Or the bulk of them are, anyway. I returned to the booth later and spoke with a couple of the company’s representatives to try to figure out exactly how divorced from the cloud the Deebot X11 OmniCyclone tr

Most robot vacuums have two wheels in the back that are directly powered, though they may still have front roller that allows them to move smoothly. This works fine for most people’s homes but if, like me, you have a lot of dramatic thresholds that measure an inch or more, you’ll find your robot cleaner getting stuck a lot. Ecovac’s new Deebot X11 Pro Omnicyclone (X11 Pro Omni), showcased at IFA 2025, is designed to tackle this problem by giving it four-wheel drive and the ability to climb thres

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-09 23:38:18

AI is in seemingly every new technology product at IFA 2025. Just look at the Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone, a new Matter-compatible robot vacuum that uses AI to automatically adjust its cleaning schedule to suit you. The cleaning bot also has more robotics packed into it, with a sticky-outy bit for better edge cleaning, and it can climb low transitions. And it’s available in the U.S. today for a collar-tugging $1,499.99 ($1,299.99 if you buy it in the next 10 days as of this writing). Ecovacs

The X11 Security extension from the 1990s

blog - git - desktop - images - contact The X11 SECURITY extension from the 1990ies It's widely known that X11 has a problem with, for example, keyloggers. The issue is not that keyloggers are possible through security holes -- but keyloggers are trivial on X11, as they are part of normal operation and don't require exploits. It is one of the reasons why people push for Wayland. I recently came across the X11 SECURITY extension, which is part of a normal X.Org installation. Quick overview of

X11's dying days mean you'll be forced to switch to Wayland

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-24 05:46:19

CorDesign / Getty Images Wayland is the Linux display server that has been in the slow, steady process of taking over X11 to deliver a more modern, robust, and secure GUI for Linux. Wayland offers better performance, better handling of complex GUIs, and even vastly improved security. Although Wayland has been around for quite some time, the problem has been that Linux distributions and desktops have been slow to change from the long-in-the-tooth X11. That changes now because one of the most p

My A11y Journey

23 years ago I was in a bad place. I'd quit my first attempt at a PhD for various reasons that were, with hindsight, bad, and I was suddenly entirely aimless. I lucked into picking up a sysadmin role back at TCM where I'd spent a summer a year before, but that's not really what I wanted in my life.
