German news and newspapers don't look at the statistics well enough. Some months ago, one radio station published that more than 50% of stabbing attacks are made by male germans, only little more than 40% by male people from outside of Germany. And they all forget about a german woman stabbing around in a bus about a week after the often reported and discussed stabbing attack in Solingen in August. Let's also not forget that a medical doctor ran over lots of people with a car shortly before Christmas, and this guy did it because he came from an "islamistic" country, but hated Islam and Islamists.
Thus, you don't even prevent half of the stabbing attacks if you manage to magically teleport all male non-Germans out of Germany. And since there are other countries all around Germany except for maybe the north (let's forget about Danmark for just a second), it's not possible for Germany to prevent people from outside travelling in.
Furthermore, it has been reported for some of these attacks that police already had information suggesting the attackers were dangerous before they committed their crimes. The police just could not process the data in time. And guess what several politicians wanted to do now? Do more surveillance by accumulating more data. Great, huh? If you have too much data to process, having even more data should help. Yeah sure. Even policemen were not too keen on more public surveillance.
Reality isn't as simple as people often think.

How many of those "Germans" were actually German though, or had a foreign family background?

I did read some posts saying his anti-Islam rants were just a ruse, and he was a secret Islamist

One sometimes reads one thing, and the next day it's the opposite. Just concerning today's attacker: First, the Bavarian minister of the Interior stated that the attacker was an islamistic male, had committed crimes, and had already received confirmation that he had to go back to his home country, Afghanistan. Some hours later, the same minister had to correct this: The man had previously committed no crimes (or only minor ones long ago), was not told that he had to go back to Afghanistan, and wasn't islamistic either. BTW, the "proof" for this man to be an Islamist was an internet post or similar saying: "May Allah protect us all." Incredibly islamistic, of course. But at least our officials were right in saying that this person was male!
The other one, the one who apparently hated Islam/Islamists, was sometimes described as an Islamist, but more often as not being one, although coming from South Arabia. Police and other authorities still seem to be unable to say why this one made his terrorist-like attack.
And what about RippedPhreak's idea of "non-German background"? Well, if you look close enough, it's hard to find people here who have been a German through and through since about the Stone Age. So, we would have to define what's "German", what's "not German", and what's "someone with foreign family background". And I guess that would lead us nowhere. I had at least one grandparent from Austria - how "non-German" am I now? And would I have been still more "non-German" if that grandparent had been from a more distant country like Afghanistan?
Most people here define "German" as "having a german passport or 'ID card'", and that's what is usually the basis for statistics. Still, the majority of "non-Germans in Germany" don't commit severe crimes on a regular basis. It's not a good idea to try to get rid of many "non-Germans" just because of a rather small group of severely criminal ones among them.
And don't make me start on discussing how we should bring back people to Afghanistan. The Taliban there usually don't want them back - this year, there has been one plane only that was allowed to land there and spill out Afghans we did not want here. And even this one flight is rumoured to have been the result of a lot of discussion with the Afghan government.
If reality was easy, everyone would understand it at once, and in exactly the same way. But - surprise, surprise! - it's not like that.

I bet the migrants can tell who the actual Germans are, in order to murder you.

Was this what supposedly Michel De Notre Dame referred in his quatrains as the moors invading Europe?

Norwegian robotics company 1X recently announced the NEO Gamma, an AI-powered bipedal humanoid robot that can perform multiple household chores, such as carrying laundry, cleaning windows, and vacuuming.

According to 1X, the recently unveiled NEO Gamma can perform a variety of actions, like crouching down to pick up objects off the ground, sitting in a chair, arranging crooked objects around the house, and even pouring tea in a cup. Apparently, the company uses human motion capture data to train the robot to perform various movements in a more human-like manner.
If you're going to have a robotic companion with you in the house every day, noise is a big factor, so 1X needed to ensure that the NEO Gamma was as quiet as possible. Thanks to a drive system modeled after human tendons, the humanoid robot's actions only generate 10 Db, making it about as quiet as a modern refrigerator.
