I am coming out of a long hiatus for some recent developments around Digital Dream Labs and Jacob Hanchar. The long-running comedy – or is it a sitcom? – goes into a new round.
There are quite some isses with KEYi Techs Loona petbot, not only their abysmal bad support that I documented here in this blog
Lithium-Ion batteries pose a danger when handled wrongly and also if they are cheaply produced.
In the ongoing comedy about Digital Dream Labs and the properties they bought (most notably Vector and Cozmo robots) a new joke just emerged.
After all this time at last the Pittsburgh AG takes action against the fraudulent business practices of Digital Dream Labs and their CEO Jacob Hanchar.
I now had an extensive communication with a KEYi support representative, but all in all this whole case is extremely unsatisfactory to frustrating. What infuriates me most is that they give contradicting informations. First they …
Be VERY careful if you send in your Loona to Fixit as suggested by KEYi. They just told me that Fixit did NOT repair my Loona but dismantled it to repair other Loonas.
I take this blog out of hiatus to report my problems with KEYiTech and Loona repairs. This is an even bigger mess than I expected.
Wire-Pod is a solution that allows you to install a local server a Vector robot can run off instead of the “official” Digital Dream Labs servers.
Living.AI, the creators of the EMO desktop pet are heavily advertising a new personal robot called AIBI on Facebook
The complete Vector infrastructure, run by Digital Dream Labs, is still offline without any hint when it will come back again – or ever. Multiple “by the end of this weeks” have gone by without …
The server outage at Digital Dream Labs now is in the week after the week “within” the servers should have come back online, it will be a full month soon.
Since it becomes more obvious every day that DDL cannot be trusted and it is unclear when their servers will come back up (if ever):
That’s what DDL representatives said about when the servers will come back up again. That was last week
This another proof of my suspicion that all AWS-based servers are down. That is not “a maintenance”.
It’s now almost three weeks that nearly all Digital Dream Labs servers are offline. We remember: DDL representatives claimed that this was a “scheduled maintenance”. Let’s all have a hearty laugh at that nonsense. A …
I am coming out of hiatus for a post. In the months since I stopped writing about Vector because of frustration about the continued unprofessionalism and lack of updates from that scam factory Digital Dream Labs.
Originally this page was set up to write about coding and expanding Vector the robot, especially with OSKR, the Open Source Kit For Robots that Digital Dream Labs financed via that infamous Kickstarter campaign.
What I am talking about? A post from DDL CEO (after all this time and the posts seen from him I can only assume this means “Chief Entertainment Officer) in the official Facebook group (and, yes despite booting all critical voices and all customers asking for help there are still people in there) lead to home robot community members rolling on the floor, laughing
We already know that the support at Digital Dream Labs is bad. Since they fired all support people and especially Robbie Bussard it got worse.
