Ho cercato di creare l’atmosfera con un po’ di musica romantica. La playlist è passata da Marvin Gaye alle canzoni Disney e all’improvviso ci siamo trovati a discutere se Aladdin e Jasmine fossero o meno l’obiettivo di una relazione????

I’m always wary when companies use the word “eventually”. You have to buy a device based on what it can do *now*. And while being able to program it to know where to put certain objects that you can train it on is a pretty neat trick, having to train it for multiple objects kind of sounds like a nightmare. And that’s if the recognition works.
