No, the grift started when retards fell for the 'heated mattresses' faggotry. Then people realized that managing temperature on your own was a PITA and started buying those 'AI powered self heating' types, then 'prepares your bed before your sleep' types and so on.
All started with literal genetic dead ends who couldn't bear the cold and would've died of hypothermia at 5 in any other point in history.

Yeah this is all going to be abandonware sooner or later, especially all of this stuff with phone apps.
It's a guarantee that the current phone apps aren't going to be maintained or even available 10 years from now and the tools are obsolete.

>>106964955
He wasn't right. There is nothing wrong with technology or even a "smart bed" or smart everything. There is something deeply wrong with rent seeking and everything as a service. The beds failed because they're a retarded dubious scheme that hopes to funnel continued revenue. They weren't sold as a way to let people actually control their bed or to glean useful knowledge (if any is even possible) from sleeping on it.

tf do you need wifi on the stove for? the only potentially useful thing I can think of is checking if it's turned off or remotely turning it off and that's it.

And yet people tell me I'm retarded and dumb and paranoid for preferring low/no-tech solutions to things.

You leave it at a low temp for HOURS veggie raising it up for even MORE HOURS. I've had to adjust the temp and look at my brisket internal temp while 30 miles away working.
But I've only had to do that like twice because most of the time it's cooking overnight while I'm sleeping and at home.
>>106966966
>pellet smoking is gay.
Ehh. You need good pallets, a smoke tube, and more low temp cooking time to get a decent fraction of a stick burner. But it's way more convenient and easier to use. I'm not doing comp bbq and if I really wanted good bbq, I could bust out my old oklahoma joe or go to a good bbq joint around me that could do it better than I ever could.
