Dumbest fucking timeline
People who buy an internet connected bed have more dollars than sense.
What's wrong with just a regular mattress? Why does it have to be connected to the internet? :(
It adjusts temperature (can heat OR cool and in some versions it can heat one side and cool the other) and I think the even more expensive version can morph a bit to your liking, and according to them, reduce snoring.
What they don't mention is that regardless of whether you get the 3600 euro option or the 5800 euro option, you still have to SUPPLY YOUR OWN MATTRESS. It's also a subscription service.
If you didn't hate it enough, it's also advertised as being "powered by AI". Which almost certainly is just some temperature adjustment algorithm, maybe even a deterministic one.
Here I am like a plebe using a hot water bottle when cold and less bedsheets when hot. If only I knew there was a technical solution for a problem that's already been solved hundreds of times over!
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.
Lol wow. We truly are fucked as a species.
The most first world of all first world problems has arrived
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? 🤔
I thought I was terminally online but this is the moment I am hearing about smart beds. I guess the appeal is that it beams ads directly into your dreams?
Yeah you might as well "work overnight to fix this," because you can't go to bed anyway
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 subscription
