Imagine having your $3000 smart mattress freak out because of an AWS outage

    1. If your mattress is connected to the internet, you’ve lost control over your life. 

    2. I have solutions for all of the smart bed problems!

      1. If you’re hot, take off some blankets. Stick a leg out. Stick two out. Go topless, even. Your husband will appreciate it.

      2. If you’re cold, add some blankets. Or wear more clothing. Or cuddle. Boom.

      3. Your bed doesn’t need an alarm. That’s just dumb.

      4. Don’t buy a goddamn bed that connects to the goddamn internet.

    3. If these things are making noise and “forcing people to the floor”, why cant users just unplug them from the wall? Its a mattress – it wont cease to exist without power, right?

      why tf does every goddamn thing need to be “smart”? why does my washing machine need to send me a text to let me know its done? or my microwave? Why does my refrigerator need a camera in it? WHY DOES MY MATTRESS NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET?

      All these appliances have been totally fine for decades without this shit, is it really that necessary now? i want my appliances to be mechanically bulletproof, not require access to my netflix account to operate. All this shit is crammed in to your appliances just so it can steal your personal data, break sooner, and force you to buy new ones earlier.

      We need to get all this tech out of our lives, people. It’s ruining us.

      I just looked it up, AWS stands for Amazon Web Services.

      For those of us who don’t immerse themselves in corporate lingo.
