iRobot life hack (air any others I suppose) Cheap like me and don’t want to keep paying for the expensive bags? Just make them reusable. Snip off corner then use an ikea bag sealer. Easy.

Not sure we have a choice at this point. Mega dissatisfaction @seeedstudio I’ve purchased from you before and you were great. To list something as preorder with a shipping date of 7th of Jan only to find out after no communication for weeks that it’s going to be the best part of a 4 month wait is not acceptable

For those of you waiting for Jetson Orin Nano's from Seeed Studio - they finally responded in Discord after many people were asking what was going on. It looks like still 6-8 weeks - that's 3-4 months after the original date on their website when I purchased it ...

I will say, it's been a minute between developing against this Veeam API and I tell you what... It's so responsive and fast, the engineering and product teams deserve a đź‘Ź for the effort they have put in here

On the DeepSeek data exposure. This incident prompts a deeper reflection on the delicate balance between innovation and security. While we can't definitively pinpoint the cause of DeepSeek's database exposure, it's plausible that the rush to demonstrate the capabilities of their groundbreaking AI models may have inadvertently led to security oversights. Perhaps in the excitement of showcasing their technology, certain security measures were bypassed or postponed in pursuit of a quick and impactful Proof of Concept (POC). This is not to diminish DeepSeek's achievement or to cast blame. Rather, it's an opportunity to examine the potential pitfalls of prioritising speed over security, especially in the context of emerging technologies. The pressure to innovate and capture market share can sometimes overshadow the crucial need for robust security practices. DeepSeek's experience serves as a valuable lesson for the entire technology community, emphasising the importance of integrating security considerations into every stage of development, even in the early phases of POCs. It's a call to ensure that the pursuit of groundbreaking technology doesn't come at the expense of safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining user trust.
