modern technology
>>106964917first of all you need to be a retard to buy "Smart" anything, second of all Teddy was right about technology
>>106964955yet you wouldn't even know about that faggot (who rot in jail) without technology.curious
>>106964965really, newspapers don't exist anymore?
>>106964917it'd be fun to reverse engineer one of those
>>106964965pretty sure i first heard of him from people telling me irl
you know, all this technological centralization isn't really a bad thing
>>106964955>>106964917Imagine sleeping on a non-free bed.
>>106964917>smart anythingThose people deserve to be exploited, injured, and ridiculed.
>>106964917Only a rich retard would buy a bed that connects to the internet, and DOESN'T HAVE THE FUNCTIONALITY WITHOUT A SERVER CONNECTION
Normie moment.
are those beds vibe coded with gpt?
>>106964917>Year of the lord 2025>Your bed must connect to cloud to function properly.
>>106965133Is non-free software some sort of wealth signaling thing now? like people want to say "no I entionally use IS that's marginally available because I can absorb the consequences due to my wealth and success." I really that normal people couldn't get dumber but they keep surprising me.
>>106964917Who the fuck is responsible for this design decision?Why must two devices on the same fucking network need to use an external server.Greedy fuckers can't just sell the bed, they need to sell your fucking sleep data as well
>>106965072Free as in free cum stains.
>>106965249No, 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.
>>106964917>$2000 smart matress>it comes with a monthly subscription>sends 16GB a month of (((telemetry))) data>when AWS goes down it just maxes out the temperature until your house burns down
>>106964917imagine telling someone from the 1800's that a holiday in India would cause some people to be unable to use their beds
It's getting out of hand with the botnets.Worst part is that this retarded shit isn't stopping any time soon.
>>106964955Terrorist Ted never worked a real job a day in his life. Terrorist Ted never knew suffering. No one here would survive a month in feudal Europe
>>106964955Sent from my smartphone
Never not funny.>Nest pushes update. Breaks thermostats. People without heat in the middle of winter>Tesla performs server update over labor day weekend. Phone app many drivers depend on as their key won't work without server. Stranded Tesla drivers>Ring doesn't have proper file permissions set up. Rando low-level employees bating to girls in their showers / bedrooms
>>106964917>"Smart" sleep mattress aka "pod">You need to fork out $2000 to buy it>It also needs to authenticate with the cloud botnet to make sure you have paid your subscription because paying $2k for a mattress isn't enough.>Needs to validate every command to make sure you haven't broken the EULA and TOS for "your" podThe ride never ends.
The pumps at a Shell gas station in my town were in a boot loop today. I assume it's related to the AWS thing somehow.
>>106966291I am waiting for the teledildonics botnet, ransomware or sabotage that makes them detonate lithium batteries
>>106966291Imagine what will happen when these things are obsoleted by the llcs making them and they stop receiving updates. Total Internet Death. All because retards bought into retarded marketing.
>>106966694Yeah 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.
>>106966744That reminds me that I needed an OBD2 scanner one day immediately and bought the cheapest piece of shit I could find at a local store. It works via a phone app kek. I should probably get one that's won't be abandonware in a few years.
>>106966327He literally grew his own crops in the woods you stupid niggerYou are too brainwashed by the concept of Federal Reserve toilet paper.
>"smart" device>gets lobotomized the moment it can't phone homeNot very smart is it, huh?
>>106964917>imagine buying a botnet mattressMy Hypnos mattress was nearly 700 quid but my god it's comfortable. After spending many nights in premier inns I knew I had to have one.Worst hotel bed yet is hampton Inn. concrete mattress and sandbag pillows.
>>106966314in traegers defense you do not need to connect it to a network to use it, just to control it from your phone.i bought one and it sucks though. pellet smoking is gay.
>>106965888Those triples
>>106966442Wasn't some place hacked because of their smart thermostat or some shit like that? Getting access to the company intranet because you connected to their nest wireless connection
>>106966966>just to control it from your phone.Why the fuck would I want to do that
>>106967081smoking takes hours and often done at variable temps. suppose you want to change temp or check the remaining pellet level while you're at work.
>>106964965He wouldn't have done what he did without technology, predeesh.
>>106964917Why the fuck does your bed need to be connected to some server.
>>106966442>random tesla negativity out of nowhereFuck off tranny
>>106967126so the glowniggers can buy the data to know when you are asleep and pick a time to kick your door in
>>106966291we thought we'd have a cool techno distopia at least, like ghost in the shellwe're really gonna have brainrot slop retard distopiathings so stupid nobody can predict themlike attaching your plumbing to the internet so you cant take a shit because of a DNS problem
>ronald mcdonald is my president or something>[bed gets stuck inclined]>I can't do anything now or something like that
>>106968009So, Brazil (1985) then?
>>106966754willing to bet his washing machine is participating in a DDoS lmao
Everyone knows the amazon logo is a dick, right?
>>106968493meds
>>106966640imagine paying for this
>the heater power is cloud controlled with no fallbackahahahahahahahahahah they couldn't even be arsed to include temp targets in a local microcontroller
>>106968513next step is racking up fines for all time you kept it disconnected from the internet. if more than 12 hours pass it permanently bricks itself + you pay the fine
>>106966765You can get bluetooth ob2 adapters for 20 to 30 dollarydoos.
>>106968009Smart water, smart electric, smart gas, smart sewage, all synchronized and controlled by the utility for that sweet sign on discount. Toilets don't flush between 4pm and 12am to avoid overloading the shitgrid during peak shitting hours.
>>106968501No thank you, you can have them.
>>106965268They can sell the data regardless. It was most likely done because the team were too incompetent to create a client server.
>>106968603Please point to the dick. I'm not gay, so I don't have superior penis recognition powers.
>>106968513today's engineers and designers are zoomzooms.they grew up always having internet.it's inconceivable that it could stop working.
>>106968660I'm a zoomer enginner too but I don't trust centralized ultra complex systems further than I can throw them. We are cooked enough as it is, we don't need our mattresses suddenly turning into grills.
>>106964917I sleep on a mattress I bought in 2019 because I’m too lazy to buy a bed. Besides I will probably sell my flat. The only piece of furniture I ever bought was an office chair and two tables for my PC and a cheap Samsung printer idk
>>106967697>there can never be valid criticism of my le epic based meme companykill yourself
>>106964917>amazon jeets kill granny because her heated bed turned off overnightthey said it was a "common error" but didn't say what
>>106966966>i bought one and it sucks though. pellet smoking is gay.based and accurate
>>106966990there was a casino that was hacked through it's aquarium
Worst part is when they sell the botnet product and say you can have all of the smart features off, but then start denying basic features if you don't enable the wifi bullshit.
hagg de blaned
I genuinely don't understand the point of "smart" technology.Like why would I want anything to rely on the internet for basic operation.
>>106969002>I genuinely don't understand the point of "smart" technology.You're not the party who is provided value by smart technology.
>>106969033They already steal my data through other ventures.
>>106964955He 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.
>>106968930tf 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.The chipotle girl was telling me about their rewards app and apple pay and all that bullshit and I had to just waive her off; I don't even like my credit card I just hate dealing with change. I'd rather use cash exclusively.
>>106966291I 'member these too. The upsell is your shopfloor system could program in how much torque for whatever bolts you needed to tighten based on whatever work instruction you were working on. Neat idea I guess, but practically seems like another meme that will fail, as it probably has or will.
>>106964917Browns on /g/ will believe anything nowadays.
>>106968650Is it gay to notice the phallic symbolism metaphorically slapped across your face or gay to be so desensitized you don't notice it?
>>106969318>is it gay to see penises everywherekinda
>>106964917>Buying a "smart" bed>Need cloud connection to sleepYou get what you fucking deserve, retard.
>>106968454>we're all in this togetherhmm
>>106967697>randomI can't even tell if Tesla fanboys are trolls or serious. How is that random?
>>106964917>"smart" tech>exclusively used by dumb peoplehuhlet's hope this aws shitshow is a massive wakeup for normies who have been sleepwalking into a techno feudalist dystopia>>106967697doing damage control for billion dollar companies isn't going to make you cool
>>106967081You 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.
>>106969318>seeing dicks where there are nonehave sex, it's for your own good
>>106965351kek
>>106964917why would the AI need to be stored on the cloud?is it too big to be stored locally?
Wasn't AWS the system that was supposedly built with TLA+ and other formal verification tools. You can find endless videos of the AWS team bragging about how bullet proof their software is, yet coincidentally it seems to regularly have service outages.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxP4wi4DhA0
>owning "smart" anythingYou only have yourself to blame.
Kaczinsky was right about literally everything
>>106971336Kaczinsky was a cuck who killed a random PC shop owner
What kind of retard buys a bed that connects to the internet and records biometric data to send directly to China?
>bed loses connection>flings you out like it's fucking Looney Tunes Hell is real and we made it ourselves.
>>106971367how else is he supposed to improve his sleep score?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx3748DvS7k
>>106964988>news papers are not technologyDo boomers really?
>>106968660It's not incompetence, it's their business model. You pay monthly for the cloud service and even pay extra for "more heating intervals" as if floating point numbers are expensive. If they allowed local operation nobody would be forking out 50/month.
>>106971367Probably the same type of retards that fall for those DNA tests when basically the entire consumer facing DNA test industry is literally and directly owned by China.
>>106971630Especially after they outright admitted a while back that they intentionally falsify results and add shit like sub-Saharan African to otherwise completely white profiles to "own the chuds."
my smart doorbell refused to work my packages got fuckign stolen
>>106971653>intentionallyIs it actually intentional? Not really doubting it but I also know how incompetent and especially lazy these fucks are so I wouldn't be surprised if one of their customers test results comes back as 80% Mongolian Grey Hound.

>>106964955Smart is fine as long a it does require an internet connection.
>>106971832Doesn't *
>>106965133It really should be common sense right? That if the bed loses connection it switches off any extra features and returns back to a flat position.
>>106966659>Set it to maximum vibrate>"Pull it out in the next 10 minutes and the battery will explode. Good luck"
>>106968470It's probably mining bitcoins. Every single vulnerable device with compute power is a bitcoin mining vector. How efficient they are at it is irrelevant because someone else is paying the electricity bill.
>>106971336He was right about many things but his targets were really REALLY badly chosen.
building a smart home and not building it on openhab..........
I have a smart washing machine. It remembers the settings I use. Well, it just has a dial that I've left on quick wash for the last 8 years but still that counts right?
>>106971832For me it's
>>106972264>>106972308do they not turn off? what do you need a washing machine on standby for. I'm a neet and use it once every 2 weeks but even if you use it more often just turn it off bro?
>>106966314>Do NOT Power Off>Grill Will Reset Why is this so funny
>>106972385>You vill update zhe gas grill and you vill not touch it, it restarts itself. #grillstoo
>>106966364>implying everyone is a ph*neposter like y*uGo back to TikTok or whatever hellhole you came from.
