  After reading the post and sifting through the comments I had this realization, that’s probably more about advertising than anything else, I guess, but… Don’t you find it strange that in the last few years, there’s a non-zero number of people who stumble upon an article like this, on lemmy, out of all places, and think “I didn’t even know that existed, yet, it’s very obvious that enough people use it for it to make headlines”? Is it just me? 🤔

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

  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.

  Online first, and they’re only now working on offline mode? Okay…

  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”

  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.

  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.
