They're ovens that are faster to preheat. Which shortens the cooking time of meals that are mostly pre-prepared, which is what most people eat (if you're preparing a meal from scratch, usually prep work takes up the preheating time)
The point is that people who willingly contributed to the enshittification of the internet have no ground to stand no to complain about the enshittification of the internet.
Hi lovelies! Welcome back to my little corner of the comment section! I am so incredibly excited to share this comment with you today. It is a family favorite, passed down through generations of posters, and it is honestly a total game-changer for weeknight reading. But before we get to the actual text of my opinion on this article, I just have to share a little story about my journey with digital content.
[ JUMP TO COMMENT ] (Link does not work)
It was a crisp autumn morning in 1998. The leaves were turning that beautiful shade of red, and the sound of dial-up modems was in the air. My grandmother (rest in peace, Nana!) used to sit me on her knee and say, "Sweetie, one day you’re going to read an article about Artificial Intelligence scraping content, and you’re going to need the perfect text-based response to go with it." She was so right.
I remember the way the sunlight hit the CRT monitor—it’s an unforgettable memory for me. Just like the way the aroma of roasting garlic fills a kitchen, the warmth of a flame war fills the soul. My hubby, who is a huge tech enthusiast (and my biggest taste-tester!), always says that the key to a good comment is the texture. You want it to be crunchy on the outside but soft and savory on the inside.

The Secret Ingredient
A lot of people think the secret to a good Slashdot post is the insight. But actually? It’s the SEO optimization. When I went to Tuscany last summer to study under a master poster, I learned that the old ways are the best. We hand-kneaded our sentences for hours. It was exhausting, but so rewarding. It really made me appreciate the artisanal nature of the internet before Google's AI started making "Frankenstein" summaries.
Speaking of Frankenstein, isn't it funny how Mary Shelley really understood the human condition? Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment that involved putting it together with different body parts. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18 and staying in Bath,[2] and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.
Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where, about a century earlier, Johann Konrad Dippel, an alchemist, had engaged in experiments.[3][4][5] She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation for her companions, particularly for her lover and future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley.
In 1816 —at the suggestion of Lord Byron— Mary, Percy, John Polidori and Byron himself, each agreed to try writing a ghost story.[6] After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.[7] The novel was first published anonymously in 1818, and in 1831, a revised edition was published under Mary Shelley's name. This version included significant stylistic revisions, a new preface describing the story's conception, and a more explicitly moral tone.[8]
Frankenstein is one of the best-known works of English literature. Infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, it has had a considerable influence on literature and on popular culture, spawning a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays. Since the publication of the novel, the name Frankenstein has often been used to refer to the monster.[9][10][11]
It reminds me of this one time I was trying to bake a sourdough loaf while simultaneously debugging a Python script...

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the sarcasm for genuine concern?
You can, but the result might be a little dry. I recommend sticking to the recipe!
How long does this comment keep?
It stays fresh in the archives for about 2 weeks before the link rot sets in.
Okay, I know you guys are hungry for the content! I see you in the comments section on Instagram asking, "Where is the comment? Why do I have to read about your grandmother?" I hear you! I just want to make sure you have all the context you need to succeed.
So, without further ado, here is the step-by-step guide to what I think about this article.
THE COMMENT
If the
100% this. Recipe sites jumped hard on the SEO bandwagon, and became so hated for it that "having to scroll down 15 pages to actually find the recipe" became the butt of a joke.
Rust grew out of a Mozilla side project in 2006 and hit stable in 2015. Several years later, the White House and NSA promoted it because the huge number of memory CVE's are a problem for individuals, businesses, and national security alike. And they didn't promote just Rust, they promoted memory-safe languages in general.
If you're seeing shadowy evil agendas where there exist clear, objective, straightforward explanations then take a break and go touch grass.
Living in a fishbowl robs you of the ability to truly discover and become yourself. As such, public surveillance should be restricted to areas of high crime and critical infrastructure. Neither you nor the police are owed a 24/7 visual history of all locations in which a crime might occur.
That may explain it. I have a Qrevo S, which is from 2024, while yours is from 2022. The only thing that it ever gets stuck at is one spot where, from under the couch, it can see out the ground-level window, and get stuck between the couch and window ledge (not actually stuck, just confused), because the LiDAR sees out the window. And I fixed that just by setting a small exclusion zone there. It never "gets lost" - maybe your house has some vast open spaces that it can't handle? But the LiDAR seems to see pretty far. The only other issues I've had are things like where I'll have a loose cord on the floor or some large piece of debris or whatnot, and even then, it's usually good at not getting stock on them. I'm also impressed with how well it deals with doors vs. a Roomba - my Roomba used to always get itself locked in rooms by accidentally closing doors after it entered, while the Roborock really tries to avoid ever touching them.
The Qrevo S has actually rotating mops, and they do a superb job with the floor. Spotless. My robot has the hardest mopping job in the world, too - it has to clean under my parrot's cage, and he poops off the edge onto a plastic mat under it
I've never had to contact support - hopefully I don't need to
although map editing sucks and it often gets lost and can't properly reset its position. It needs to be rescued pretty often which is a major fail.
That's very distinctly not my experience. What version do you have?
The Sam Altman types, and the Thiel/Musk types especially, want technofeudalism with them on top. For some of them the "good of society" factors in but it is always after this.
A real vacuum cleaner just about maxes out a standard residential 120v 15a circuit, as anyone who remembers the incandescent bulb era can attest to. A circuit with a few lamps shared with a vacuum cleaner could easily end with you flipping a breaker or replacing a blown fuse.
When you look at the absolutely tiny lithium ion pack these robo-vacs come with,
...
Sitting on my kitchen table right now is a drone pack. It's 57,5Wh, smaller the batteries of most modern Roombas. It's 50C - thus it can output up to 2,9kW. And there's even higher packs available than that. Lithium ion cells can handle some truly high power outputs. It's *energy*, not *power*, that is their limitation. Run a pack at 50C and it'll be empty in a bit over a minute. That said, on hard floor surfaces there is absolutely no reason why you should be drawing more than 300-400W or so, and you can get by with well less than that. High powers are for like shag carpeting and the like. Also, the head matters more than the power (though of course contribute) - for a hard floor, for example, a fluffy roller head is ideal.
Pet hair has never been an issue for me with robots. My long hair always is. It's way longer than any pet's.
Yeah, my Roborock has rotating mops, and I can say with 100% certainty, I haven't lived in a cleaner house since I moved out of my OCD mother's place as a teen. You could eat off that floor.
Facts. I used to have a Roomba for years, but as I live in Europe, it was getting increasingly hard to deal with modern features (like the self-emptying base which needs 120V power). I reluctantly switched to a Roborock when my power converter died, and just, wow, they're light years ahead of iRobot. I think iRobot has been coasting on its name for a while now.
Success is something I will dress for when I get there, and not until.
