Obviously the heating coil, power source and variable resistor combo was too dependable for our planned obsolence society.
I hate that I can’t tell if this is satire or not.
Same. I genuinely cant tell if poking fun or legitimate complaint about products he actually bought.
I hate this reality.
The product is real, I looked it up.
This is beyond “white people’s problems”. This is rich idiot’s problems.
Not even first world problems, this is rich fuck problems lmao.
What do you mean? I have my Amazon prime robo pants put themselves on me one leg at a time like any average human.

Zeroth worth problems?
“AI controlled” 🤪
When did having basic microprocessors become AI controlled?
AI is when there’s no buttons and you just have to hope the software gives the output you were hoping for
It’s such a stupid buzzword and it pisses me off. aI controlled fan. Sandwich made by AI recipe. It’s like when everything was HD. HD sunglasses.
And you weren’t gonna tell us that they can fix glaucoma??
Age of Empires had AI before it was cool.
I mean, every time I update my glasses it feels like everything is UHD for a couple of days.
I have updated to 4K sunglasses. So much clearer
When we started letting tech-bros on social media hype up AI like it would be the savior for all humanity and in just a few short years we’ll all be sailing on our AI-powered yachts with AI-powered martinis and sacks of AI-powered cash from our AI-powered stock trades.
Then when they started getting snippy and biting back and saying how it “democratizes art” and it lets us spend more time working so the AI can do our art and writing, we didn’t laugh and then drive them into the FUCKING SEA, instead we all politely respected their opinions and now we have at least a decade of useless, incremental “advances” to products we don’t want.
You can love AI all you want, but the moment you go to bat for the corporate slop being pushed on us, you’re one of them.

A gold medal for each paragraph. If I could I’d buy you Lemmy Lanthanum.
The new term for algorithm these days is AI.

Fuckin AI
For a minute, I thought this was satire.
It isn’t?
EDIT: After some searching, turns out it is not.

What kind of a moron would spend £3000 on something that then needs a subscription to work?
Lemme tell you about a famous car company
A Tech Youtuber who probably got it in a sponsorship deal for free
Which I’m kinda glad they exist to:
-
Test wacky things
-
Be a punching bag for the jokes
But they are also the reason other idiots buy these products.
More punching bags

I know, right? Thermostats have worked since (and were invented some time in) the 1600’s, but now… no, no no… we’ve got to loop in “the whole internet” as a dependency (not to mention one’s smartphone, and probably a payment system for an ongoing monthly subscription). Even with the incentive of being continuously paid, they can’t keep it working, because it has gotten too complex and greed has gummed up the gears.
My electrician is currently trying to sell me on smart light switches. Apparently the main benefit being that you can control them remotely.
Who the fuck needs to be able to turn the light on when they’re not in the room? It’s not like they need to warm up anymore, they’re all LEDs.
I actually had a use-case for a smart switch (I wanted it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time). In the end, I went back to a dumb-switch after a frustrating diagnosis, maybe I’m biased/lucky to never have had a light-switch fail, but I didn’t even consider it as the potential fault until I electrically proved it…
Right? We all know there’s no such thing as a too-cold bed.
Having slept outside in -40, in an unheated (there were attempts but the too late and too small a stove to make a difference), windy tent, when I had to open my bedroll with significant amounts of violence to even have a “bed” to sleep on — I would humbly like to disagree.
Even though some of these summer nights I would definitely want an actually cool bed, never have I ever dreamed of having to sleep in those circumstances.
No such thing as too cool — but definitely a thing as too cold.
I was certain it was until I read the reply below
I sleep in a racecar bed because I’m a big boy.
I’m firmly against racecar beds. In fact, I want the opposite of a racecar bed. I want a racecar bed.
I feel the same way about taco cat.
I want an aerogavin bed.
My mom’s gonna get me a radio so I can talk to all the other car beds.
Yeah, but it’s a sweet car bed. Did you get the CB radio installed yet so you can talk to other car beds?
I’ve never even heard of a heated bed. Bitch, it’s called a blanket. You get under it and your body heat will keep you warm.
I believe the problem is that it’s actively cooled, so it won’t get hotter under a blanket.
He could always unplug it though…

Mental note: tie string tether to my Pod 3 power cord.
Meanwhile, I built the bed I sleep in. Literally. My bed is made from solid Douglas fir and southern yellow pine, hand made into a proper bed frame that will last multiple lifetimes if taken care of. Want the bed heated/cooled? Fill a rubber bladder with hot water or ice. There. No fucking app required.
Hey Ron.
Username definitely checks out.
I might have to do this.
I have been building stuff outside with treated lumber this spring, but working on some furniture would mean smaller projects with more attention to quality and detail.
Sounds zen as fuck!
It really is quite zen. While sanding is time consuming, it’s also a very tactile, embodied experience. It’s done as much by touch and feel as anything else.
You make a sweet headboard on that bad boy?
Of course!
Fuck that’s a nice bed.
You should see the guest bed I built after it!
We sleep on a mattress laid on a base with no frame, and it’s perfectly fine. We took the habit while in Japan, where we used a futon. Now I can’t imagine climbing in a bed. The only problem is the giant centipedes
Even if you use plain construction pine with a simple design, it’ll probably last longer than you do. That’s what we did.
We had a bed frame from a “nice” furniture store, and when I saw it going in, I knew immediately it wasn’t going to last. Lots of parts with screws that were really shallow and would back out easily. They had to be shallow because the wood was so thin. Hard to tell when it’s at the store, but watching the delivery people put it together, it was obvious.
Did a few things to keep it together, but once it broke beyond reasonable repair, I made a simple platform bed frame and called it good. Has lots more underbed storage space and you could probably build a tank on top of it.
Yup. The bed was my first big woodworking project, and I just made it out of some construction lumber as well, though with a lot of working. I built it off one of the Ana White designs.
HOLD ON IS THIS NOT SATIRE!? I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY
Same! Life becomes a parody of itself.
… Maybe unplug it?
Makes me recall something from years ago. My future ex-wife at the time was telling me about the drama when someone she knew’s car key’s battery had gone flat and they couldn’t get into their car, and had to call RACQ etc.
I said ‘you can still just put the key in the lock and turn it, you know?’. That apparently hadn’t occurred to them.
Then it would just be a bed!
its not dystopian, just a shit product
im here with my silly, un-epic Normal Mattress™ that doesn’t have any temp control. it is somewhat cold right now, and I don’t feel that’s dystopian
Well, I run fucking hot, so I would love a mattress cover that can cool me down, without having to blast AC on myself all night, so there is that. On the other hand for the price of Eight sleep or whatever it’s called I can buy at least 2 AC units.
Oh nvm it’s 3K usd with “100%” off, yeah that’s 3 ac units, one for all my rooms
Yeah I’ve never seen these temp controlled beds as anything other than "Oh that’s a neat idea, bet I can make that myself’
Should’ve upgraded to the Pod4, which will get a “upgrade” after the Pod5 comes out which removes features so you go buy a Pod6.
I initially thought this was a satire comment, on a satire product.
The fact it is real makes something feel fundamentally wrong with the world.
It’s… it’s not satire?!
Welcome to the future! 🤢
Whether or not this guy is kidding I don’t care, his video “Firefox is hard to love” made him seem like a dipshit looking for ragebate engagement for his shitty video. So I wouldn’t be too shocked if he actually got himself in this situation.
There are way more videos like that. I quickly developed a severe dislike for him and his clickbaity JavaScript clout content.
You made your bed, now lie in it.
The cold, hard truth.
The cold, temperpedic truth.
his joke but less
his joke but more
The cold, extra firm truth
Damn that’s cold!!
