if this was their first job, then boy I can’t wait to see where their new art thief careers take them


Eight Sleep’s products rely on cloud connectivity to control temperature and track biometric data. When AWS went down, users lost access to the app that manages its water-cooled coils, leaving them stuck with whatever setting was last active.
Insane oversight to design the bed (or any product like this, really) such that it can’t be adjusted without the internet.


completely uncharted territory. No one tried to cook a potato until Sam Altman graced us plebs with ChatGPT
When my parents were shopping for a washing machine a couple of years ago, they asked their friend who works at Home Depot what seemed to be reliable and he basically said “anything but Samsung”. They had way more Samsung returns than anything else.


Here’s a similar post by Ed Zitron (Titled: Make Fun of Them). He gives a few examples of complete nonsensical stuff that some big Tech CEOs have said, and goes on to argue that more people, especially those who cover tech in media for a living, need to be far more critical of tech CEOs and not just basically go “oh wow thats so cool” to everything they say.


in the nursing home talking about how I rizzed up the nurses (i didn’t)
I could see making sure the NAS’ case is a well built/sealed one to reduce noise. I have 4 of those Seagate enterprise drives in a mesh case and boy are they loud lmao, so I get where OP is coming from.


thats extremely creepy!


“Please, we’ve bet the farm on this, at least pretend to think its useful”


some birds just want to watch the world burn


this is basically like “we can’t keep our shareholders happy in their quest for infinite return on investment without you overpaying for our services”


id guess a lot went into designing a solar cell that could take being heated to 167F without losing efficiency or breaking. I think most common house solar panels have a temperature coefficient listed on their datasheet that measures how much its ability to generate power decreases per every degree above 77F


Yeah its absolutely wild. Even Louis Rossman has done some videos about the military’s lack of right to repair. Its insane to me that you’d buy a multi-billion dollar jet like the F-35, and legally be unable to repair it without calling in (and paying a hefty service contract for) someone from Lockheed or Pratt and Whitney to troubleshoot it. That can’t be sustainable if you do end up needing to send a ton of these things into combat


The FBI searched Burger’s home on February 28 and discovered that someone in his family had put on a keylogger on the laptop he used to play Roblox and that they’d captured a lot of what he’d been typing while playing the game. They turned over the records to the feds.
This whole story is pretty wild, but this bit stands out to me. Was his family member concerned about his ideas enough to put a keylogger on his laptop before the authorities ever got involved? Was it a shared laptop? Or was it for some other reason??


And apartment dwellers who share a bathroom, don’t worry — Throne’s for you too. “Just set up individual profiles in our app,” the startup’s website advises, “and thanks to Bluetooth, Throne knows exactly who’s who.”
They gotta set up an emergency fund for people to get new housing if their roommate brings one of these things home


Elon Musk: Your new Tesla will get into a serious accident and be totaled before it even gets to your house ‘this year’ (and you’re still liable for it)


Thats pretty cool. Using steam pistons to help compress the fuel enough for fusion, from which that heat gets used to make different steam to then make electricity.
bro we got them Neanderthal cooties wth
