We're about to go through about 10 years of vibe coded garbage aren't we.
No, only 2 years. Don't forget about the nuclear war.
The most first world of all first world problems has arrived
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"

Might wanna get that return shipment prepped, my insomniac friends out there.
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.
L.O.L! Cant wait to the next solarflare hope they swat the sleepers like flies
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?
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.
