Mine runs really well in my somewhat complex yard. I have a firepit with an angled bench, a dugout trampoline, a swing set, several randomly placed trees, and currently an aboveground pool with solar heater in my yard. None of these things are mapped out, I only mapped the edge of my yard with it. It also handles my driveway which is partially covered in grass and accessible through a narrow gate (~10cm on either side of the mower when it passes through). For ~800€ I think it performs really well, and everything is fairly cramped in my 400sqrm yard, so lots of narrow passages for it to navigate.
Edit: I did modify it slightly by printing a larger disc for the knives so it cuts closer to the edge of the mower body.
The only ones I've seen with masks the last few years are Asians in airports when I'm traveling, and they wore those even before covid so I'm not sure it's covid related.
The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming
You're forgetting the huge and much more lucrative market that is businesses. We literally can't switch away from windows because every single piece of engineering software we use only exists for windows. We can't program anything, configure anything, deploy anything or service anything if we're not running windows. Oh, a VM solution you suggest? wrong!, because the drivers needed to interface with the hardware are wonky as hell as is but inside VMs it gets the job borked half the time making my job unnecessary frustrating.
We have a massive south facing side filled with windows (and two double glass doors), covers about 80% of the living area, all blinds mounted inside. We still had 9°C lower temps inside compared to outside during the worst hours of the heat wave. Yes 28°C is still hot, but much better than the 37°C we had outside.
That would just make it 5% of a vast majority, nearing 100%,, so still only a small amount of users.
I get what you're saying, but when something is only used by the small demographic that is "power users", it is not a beloved feature of the userbase as a whole.
Not really comparable things though
