Tech has to get a whole lot more secure, reliable, and personalized before I would consider buying a robot. I want to know my robo-butler isn't going to report me to the thought police if I grumble about my job or my city council. I want to know that common-sense features and updates won't be paywalled behind a subscription model. I want to know I won't have to sit through ads every 2 minutes while it does its chores. I want to know that yet another massive data breach won't provide criminals with an interior map of my house and images of every friend and family member who's ever visited my home.

I want a removable battery in my robot.
Both for the obvious, paranoid, silly reason, and also for other reasons that actually make sense.
well that wont happen unless we fix the problem of people not being able to afford anything
Can it empty my dishwasher?
Genius comment! A mere upvote isn't enough.
Can we fuck it?
I don't even have smart appliances so I can't see why I would buy a robot. Maybe if I had a physical handicap.
