    I also saw a post that showed that these things send about 20 GIGABYTES of telemetry every month. Absolute clown shit.

    edit: Found a source! This person actually had 30 GB/month.

    “Eight Sleep confirmed there’s no offline mode yet, but they’re working on it.”

    first off, the idea of anything on a bed wanting internet access, but making it a requirement for all operations with no alternative means the project managers for this “smart” bed should be bundled together and tossed into the ocean.

      Working on it

      doubt

      This has been on the market for years and they’ve showed zero desire to have offline functionality. Get a load of these journalists.

    Remember, if your bed remains upright for more than 4 hours, contact your sleep doctor.

    too bad the beds didn’t fold up into cartoon style tacos and squash the sleepbros when AWS shit the bed.

    can’t wait til they decide the bed no longer warrants a security update and gets added to a botnet.

          True but also I don’t think Castro would even sleep in the socialist Tech ® Bed because that’s dumb as hell

    Imagine this:

    You are trying to go to sleep, but your bed has a firmware update and a nag beep every 3 hours reminding you that it needs to be rebooted to complete the update.

    Now imagine that society would be better off if the next Amazon outage was permanent.

    Fucking hilarious that most of US infrastructure would shut down if a single well targeted attack hit us-east-1

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
