Brooms are technology too, they were just invented thousands of years ago. They need to just switch to dirt floors like God intended. Oh wait, floors are technology too.
Yeah, everyone has to choose what “modern” means to them I guess, but I think people who are happy to use smartphones and computers but draw the line at robot vacuums are kind of silly. There’s a difference between the original post’s (very reasonable) desire to have a disconnected robot vacuum that can’t collect data, and the further level of derision that seems to come up anytime anyone wants to use any kind of convenience or time-saving device.
I’m anti-cloud connected devices, too, but the right answer is getting one that’s local or disconnected. Guess they were too dumb to figure that out, and making fun of people who make the compromise on it maintained their ego.
I never thought I’d ever have to say this, but are we so fundamentally lazy that using an acoustic vacuum is just being entirely unreasonable?
My god people. Loosen up your schedules.
Not a native speaker, is this even a word?
Never heard it before. Maybe they’re trying to make a metaphor, like an acoustic guitar = basic, electric guitar = smart. Maybe mistranslation.
probably tongue in cheek. Like a “boneless” couch. It’s just a memory foam couch, but people call em boneless
Acoustic as in- unplugged.
Ah, I get ya. I was close!
My last vacuum was probably an “acoustic vacuum”, it was ear-shatteringly loud. /j
It’s a joke. Like vacuum unplugged?
If you’re opposed to modern conveniences, get a broom.

Okay buddy. Cool story. Enjoy automation freeing up all that time to spend staring at a screen and smugly missing the point.

Reliance on automation will never end well. Just saying. This should have been expected.
Good luck on your journey to live a tech free, pre-industrial life. Sounds unpleasant.
And good luck to you on your journey to avoid the concept of nuanced discussion in every conversation you have.
Sounds pleasanter.
The thing is… I like vacuuming my home when I’m away from home, and that’s a lot harder to do manually…
frees up time to do other errands, barring your home isnt a mess and you have to do it manaully anyways.
It’s such a game changer, it’s damn near mandatory for pet owners.
