"iRobot declined to confirm to The Verge what a bankruptcy would mean for owners of a Roomba vacuum. However, it’s reasonable to assume that the servers would be shut down and the iRobot app would stop working."
This is why I bought a vacuum specifically so I could install Valetudo on it. Roborock could shut down their servers tomorrow, and my S5 Max will happily keep vacuuming away forever.
