a lot of people are questioning why the beds are not fail-safe, while I’m actually not sure why a fucking bed has to have internet access in the first place.
And this is what happens when a middle manager answer “It won’t” when you ask “what if the service goes down?”
fail-safe motherfucker do you speak it
It’s kind of amazing to think about how none of these products are designed to have a fallback functionality during an outage.
Iirc Amazon has a special tooling for creating iot devices. It’s supposed to make creating the communication easier so you don’t have a bunch badly implemented communication systems. Ofc it uses Amazon’s cloud.
I would not be surprised if they all failed this way due to using the tool. As in the Dev’s code might not even get to know there was an outage, and the tool just keeps telling it the last state it got.
Yeah, it’s almost certain everybody would just end up using the same library.
Yeah, that’s so ridiculous. They could’ve just turned off the heating and made it lay flat, and it would’ve been fine. But evidently, they did not even think about handling an outage.
So by tying the bed to Amazon’s cloud exclusively, reduces its uptime from 100% to 99.5% or lower…
Just buy dumb beds and heat them with your own body.
Not so smart afterall, eh?
People who connect banal things to clouds deserve that. If the local people weren’t so snotty-sissy-“wholesome”, I would even write that those people deserve a few fires caused by beds overheating.
You did write that.
While it is understandable to look down on people who lack the technical skills and knowledge to avoid the cloud, I don’t believe they deserve to burn to death in their beds. That’s kinda fucked up. But maybe I’m too snotty sissy wholesome…
You did write that.
I didn’t. I just provided an example of what I WOULD write if the audience were right.
Must be an optical illusion then.
