Also own a s50, most annoying thing for me is that you can't do reverse clean up zones, ie. Tell it where CAN'T clean. Also, Saving zoned cleanups would be a time saver. And rotating of the map for when it misalign them, which it keep doing sometimes even after following their instructions.

This is their answer when I emailed about rotatable map;

"Dear The map takes the environment near the starting point as a reference. If there are some things near the starting point, it will cause the Robot to draw a deformed map. In this case, please move the dock charger to an open area to solve this problem. Please ensure to retain 0.5 m or more in two sides and 1.5 m or more in the front of the dock charger. "

Worked at a university dealing with this some years ago, the publishing companies blocked our IPs on regular basis because they had detected "hacked student accounts" Then we had to block them and swear they changed password before they unblocked us. They said that it was Chinese phising emails that tricked students to give up their password. If you dont know, a couple of years ago almost everyone accessed the publishers sites thought revese proxies at the school, so sci hub collected accounts and proxied you thought them, dont know if its still the case. We used this software called ezproxy, Think it was pretty common.

Also pretty sure many students gave away their passwords freely, based on that nobody seemed that surprised/worried when we said their accounts was compromised.

We have around 30k machines running sles in production (stores) around the world. Deployed around 4000 more a couple of weeks ago, so yes, it exists for sure. Not in the US tho.

Cool stuff, way more advanced than I thought of. I don't have an account but might create one, on phone right now. But I drop my 2 cents here. I rather see a free version with a simple relationship between MRs. Basically;

  If linked_mr:
    print "warning, merging this will also merge:" + linked_mr

  ...

  Function merge()
    ...
    if linked_mr:
      merge(linked_mr)
Then building a more advanced version for EE.

linked merge requests would be my killer feature. VERY often we need to change multiple repositories at the same time. Like for example backend+frontend changes that's in different repositories. Having a linkage between them, that would make them be merged together would be awesome. And also prevent merge if one is "wip" or unresolved discussions etc...
