Smart devices are just dandy when they don’t require an internet connection. Got a cheapo smart thermostat that works no matter what. Google could cancel my Minis and my internet could go offline, I can still control it with buttons.
Bought that 5-years ago. At this point I assume all IoT devices require internet.
Close your eyes, take a moment and just imagine the engineering culture at Eight Sleep. I’d rather be homeless than work there.
We’re about to go through about 10 years of vibe coded garbage aren’t we.
2, don’t forget the nuclear war.
I am torn between 1) people aren’t smart and 2) smart appliances aren’t smart.
Also, if you’re having an issue with your smart appliances, just open copilot and get the AI to connect you to the other virtual ai assistant for your product which is hopefully not running in AWS which will just ask if you need to talk to a human who doesn’t have a solution for “AWS is down and you bought an internet connected bed my dude”

L.O.L! Cant wait to the next solarflare hope they swat the sleepers like flies
Build your shit to be fail safe. The idea that this was less bad if you self hosted is ridiculous. You will have much more outages that way.
You may be right to criticize cloud everything, but as I said, just not the problem here. Only the trigger.
Online first, and they’re only now working on offline mode? Okay…
this is worse than getting locked out of your smart oven for not paying subsceiption
This is why I made my own bed, with my own two hands, out of solid Douglas for and southern pine. Let’s see AWS crash an inert object made of wood and metal.
I carved mine out of an old olive tree. Good luck stealing it.
Ulysees?
Brilliant!
Might wanna get that return shipment prepped, my insomniac friends out there.
smart BEDS? Look, I got a bed that has a removal part that has USB chargers, that is all I need… What the FUCK do I need a bed with an internet connection?
Unfortunately there is no alternative if you store your sleep number in your mattress instead of in central Ohio region resources then you can’t get a good night’s rest.

Yeah you might as well “work overnight to fix this,” because you can’t go to bed anyway
