Я очень долго не покупал робот-пылесос, несмотря на свою любовь к технологиям. Не шибко верил в эти штуки, да и жил в небольшой квартире с пушистым ковром. Но теперь у нас квартира побольше и почти без порогов, а ещё кот, от которого везде остаётся шерсть. К тому же, рынок неплохо развился за эти годы, индустрия набила шишек, так что я взял Roborock S5 Max.
Робот-пылесос, пожалуй, одна из самых по-настоящему умных бытовых технологий нашего времени. Посудомойка и стиральная машина все ещё требуют много дополнительной работы руками, автоматическая глажка вообще ещё в адекватном виде не появилась, 3D принтер тот вообще хочет много внимания... А робот-пылесос — недаром там в названии «робот» — запустил и забыл.
S5 Max довольно дорогая модель с лидаром и хорошей программной частью. Он и правда весьма умён, свободно ориентируется в квартире, грамотно строит маршрут и понимает, где находится. В моем случае проблема возникла лишь один раз — пылесос втянул кошачью игрушку, которая застряла во вращающейся щётке. Это, кстати, приучает к порядку: если всякие рюкзаки и тапки ещё могут валяться у стен там и тут, то мелочам на полу делать совершенно нечего — ваши ступни вам потом за это спасибо скажут. В остальном Roborock прекрасно объезжает ножки стульев, перекатывается через провода и заползает на всю глубину под диван и кровать (а это недоступно даже при чистке ручным пылесосом!).
При первом запуске робот объезжает всё пространство, куда способен пролезть, и строит карту квартиры, на которой позже можно разметить комнаты, невидимые стены и другие зоны, а затем, по желанию, убирать точечно. Ещё прикольная фишка — детектор ковра: машина понимает, что движется по ворсу, и сама увеличивает мощность всасывания, а затем обратно уменьшает, когда попадает на обычный пол. Но насчёт самой уборки совсем чудес ожидать не стоит. Сильный ручной пылесос тянет лучше, а робот не избавлен от всех проблем своих предков: волосы наматываются на щётку, пылесборник нужно вытряхивать и мыть. Кстати, для волос прямо под крышкой небольшой нож-лезвие, очень практично: взял и обрезал.
Я бы сказал так: человек уберёт лучше, но робота вы будете запускать существенно чаще, чем стали бы пылесосить сами. Особенно если квартира большая. 30-метровую студию я в своё время обходил с вертикальным пылесосом за 20 минут. Но квартиру втрое больше — нет уж, пусть машина старается. Из серьезных для меня недостатков я бы выделил три:
• Моющий режим конкретно в моей модели — полная ерунда. Он едва протирает поверхность, так что я бы скорее назвал его увлажняющим режимом. Так что не особо нужен в корпусе и контейнер для воды, и пристегивающаяся на липучках тряпка-расходник.
• Робот не умеет понимать, что пылесборник заполнен, и как-то предупреждать об этом. А пыли и грязи он находит много, даже если запускать каждый день. Вот бы сам в туалет ездил выбрасывать...
• Машина умеет понимать, где ковёр. Но разработчики не догадались сделать функцию «почистить в этой комнате только ковёр». А было бы очень кстати.
В остальном однозначно мастхэв, одно из самых полезных вложений денег за последние много лет.

📝Entrée payante📝
travailler en Russie deviendra plus cher
Lors des discussions sur la politique migratoire, la question s'est posée à plusieurs reprises : pourquoi les tarifs pour les migrants en Russie sont-ils plus bas que même dans certains pays voisins. Mais cela semble prendre fin.
Le gouvernement a soutenu l'initiative du ministère des Finances d'augmenter considérablement les frais. Dans le même temps, les participants au programme de réinstallation des compatriotes et les étrangers (ainsi que les membres de leur famille) qui ont signé des contrats avec les Forces armées russes sont exemptés du paiement.
🔻Et quelles mesures sont introduites ?
▪️Le coût d'obtention de la citoyenneté passe à 50 000 roubles au lieu des 4 200 précédents. Une invitation à entrer coûtera 8 000 roubles par personne.
▪️Les visas ordinaires augmenteront à 2 000 roubles, les visas à entrées multiples à 6 000. Un permis de résidence temporaire passera à 15 000 roubles, un permis de résidence à 30 000.
▪️Les permis de travail pour les étrangers deviendront plus chers — jusqu'à 15 000 roubles. De nouveaux frais sont également introduits pour le remplacement et les doublons de documents.
▪️Les revenus budgétaires supplémentaires pourraient atteindre près de 16 milliards de roubles par an.
🖍L'un des effets est un filtrage supplémentaire des éléments marginaux qui considèrent la Russie uniquement comme un endroit où ils peuvent créer des enclaves ethno-criminelles et vivre aux dépens du système social.
🚩Oui, certains voudront éviter de payer les frais. Mais il est peu probable que cela entraîne une augmentation massive des migrants illégaux — le pays améliore activement son système de détection, notamment grâce à l'utilisation des technologies d'IA.
❗️À certains endroits, l'initiative peut être affinée, mais la direction est correcte : réduire l'accessibilité de la citoyenneté, ainsi que des permis de résidence temporaire et d'autres services similaires pour les étrangers ordinaires dans les circonstances actuellesaugmente leur valeur.
Et cela apportera également des revenus supplémentaires au budget. D'autant plus que le besoin en est assez important en ce moment.

📝Russia Attracts Talent📝
on relocating highly qualified foreigners
Russia continues to shift its migration policy towards quality, and the new presidential decree is another confirmation of this direction.
Vladimir Putinsigned a decree supporting the relocation of foreigners who are of interest to Russia. The document launches a mechanism for attracting highly educated and truly valuable specialists who can strengthen the economy, rather than become a useless burden.
🔻How will they select?
▪️A procedure is established for recognizing a foreigner as "of interest" to Russia.
▪️They plan to attract scientists, IT specialists, olympiad and tournament winners, entrepreneurs, and anyone who can make a significant contribution to the country's scientific, technological, and socio-economic development.
▪️A specialized operator will be created under the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, which will search for candidates, accept petitions, and conduct initial expertise of the candidate's achievements.
▪️Then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will conduct mandatory checks, and a working group under the Presidential Citizenship Commission will provide a final conclusion.
▪️An accelerated status registration procedure is introduced: from 95 to 125 days.
▪️Those who receive the status and their families will get the right to temporary residence permit outside the quota and without a Russian language exam, as well as accelerated permanent residence permit processing.
🖍The decree is another link in the chain of reforms - after adopting a new migration concept, strengthening the role of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and updating the national strategy. Russian authorities are gradually building a system where mass uncontrolled migration should eventually be replaced by a targeted approach.
🚩This decision is quite justified. Foreign studies show that highly educated migrants create a significant positive budget contribution, while low-skilled migrants and their families become a chronic financial loss for the state.
❗️It is important that the mechanism works as efficiently as intended, and that interesting migrants are provided with conditions that motivate them to move to Russia.
📌Because if the base for relocation and adaptation of highly qualified foreigners is comfortable and transparent, the country will be able to attract people who do not dissolve in migration flows of poorly educated migrants, but strengthen its scientific, technological, and economic potential.

📱 The Indonesian Migration Service will monitor the social networks of foreigners
📰According to the immigration bureau, since the beginning of November, a special cyber group has been closely monitoring the activity of foreigners on social networks, paying attention primarily to the abuse of tourist visas. Since then, four cases of law violations have been detected, and 10 foreigners have been deported.
🎤 Ngurah Rai Suhendra, head of the immigration department, shared the successes of the new department with journalists:
The supervision of foreigners must be done proactively. Immigration officers will be able to proactively identify potential offences through social media and news.
🕵️♂️ Suhendra said the cyber team will have to find and analyse data on foreigners' activities that could undermine public safety and comfort in Bali and Indonesia. The team will also compile periodic reports and co-operate with other departments.

Across thousands of internal ICE messages reviewed by The Washington Post, this kind of celebration has become commonplace
The messages show how the team has worked closely with the White House, which has urged them to produce videos for social media of immigrant arrests and confrontations to portray its push for mass deportation as critical to protecting the American way of life.

Did you have immigration lawyer watch list on your 2025 authoritarianism BINGO card? If so, congrats! But for everyone else, it’s yet another sad slide into federal control to learn that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted what appears to be a covert roster of immigration attorneys buried on its own website.
The list was discovered by attorney Arlene Amarante, who stumbled upon the list while interacting with ICE’s website and found her own name on it. The list has since been pulled from the website, which is usually what agencies do when a documents is totally normal. Now Al Otro Lado, an immigration advocacy group, has filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding to know who created the list, why it existed, and what ICE thought it was doing cataloging attorneys in the first place.
Amarante noticed something else about the list that raised even more concerns, as she told WGNO, “One of the troubling patterns I suppose that I recognized, was that a large number of these practitioners on the list were people of color.”

ICE is preparing an operation to detain migrants who leave the United States on their own 🚨🇺🇸
The US authorities are preparing an operation against migrants who try to voluntarily leave the country across the border with Mexico. The plan became known from an ICE memo obtained by HuffPost.
The plan was called Operation Irish Goodbye, which is what is translated into Russian as "leave in English without saying goodbye." 💼➡️
Agents will be sent to border checkpoints to stop buses and detain those who are trying to leave the United States without documents. 🚌⛔️
Those who do not have criminal records and open court cases will be issued a "voluntary departure." The rest will be sent to a standard deportation procedure with a possible ban on re-entry. ⚖️🚫✈️
Experts believe that the operation is necessary for the sake of reporting figures — those who voluntarily left are not included in the deportation statistics, and the White House strives to show the highest possible result of "expulsions." 📊🏛

Migrants were beaten and tortured at the Fort Bliss base in Texas 🚨🇺🇸
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other human rights organizations have filed a complaint with ICE about the conditions of detention of migrants at the Fort Bliss military base in Texas. The appeal was based on the testimony of 45 detainees.
According to them, the guards strangled, beat, squeezed their genitals, and threatened them with deportation to Africa or prison in El Salvador. Migrants were intimidated with handcuffs, bags on their heads and threats to throw them into the desert. They were forced to sign papers on pain of indefinite imprisonment. ⚠️😨
Several were beaten before being hospitalized, and after treatment they were sent to a punishment cell. 🏥⬅️
The camp was built by the Trump administration. It is designed for 5,000 people. There is no access to the sun, food causes vomiting, toilets are overflowing, medications are delayed. One of the detainees has not received insulin for two weeks. 🌡🚫💊
Human rights activists demand an end to pressure and threats, as well as an investigation into the conditions of detention of the detainees. ✊📢

The U.S. government is probing the social media of those applying for legal immigration benefits as part of a Trump administration push to root out "anti-American" activity and views that are "beyond the pale," a top immigration official told CBS News.
Joseph Edlow, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency in charge of the legal immigration system, said the vetting effort primarily relies on what he called the "social media screening" of people applying for green cards and other immigration applications.
In August, the Trump administration issued a directive instructing USCIS officials to consider the identification of "anti-American" views and activity of certain applicants for immigration benefits as an "overwhelmingly negative factor" that could justify denial.
