People wondering why this was designed to need the cloud, it requires a subscription fee. Overpriced greedy product. Its actually a good idea (bed temp control), but too greedy
You can feel the smart in these.
I’m sorry, but why the fuck those exist and WHO THE FUCK is buying them!?..
- Invent incredibly dumb device.
- Brand it as “Smart” to lean into Dunning-Kruger effect sales.
- Profit!!
Man, reality is way weirder than i thought…
A smart bed that can’t function without checking in with mother ship? That’s the dumbest thing ever. You can always tell the businesses that skipped testing lol.
They crave your data! They made it so that it cannot function without your sweet sweet sleep number!
Its a feature, make the product unusable if its not used as they intend. Take the sim card out of your car and watch it go into limp mode.
I don’t have a smart car though, I use a bike. No registration, no tax, barely any regulations and fewer that are actually enforced.
good. I hope that whole industry fails. plug in anything is bullshit. give me old fashioned!!!
This is right up there with the Louvre security being connected to the internet and was hackable. Maybe some old fashioned alarms and guards would’ve been better.
Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?
Not being able to do it from a distance would probably be a boon to security.
It doesn’t matter if you can disable it by cutting a wire, it’s the same amount of security in this case.
There were of course alarms that you couldn’t disable by cutting an obvious wire, just like there are smart alarms that you can’t actually hack easily.
Can’t just unplug them?
That would require thought. Something that anyone buying a “smart” device, lack.
First time I’m hearing of a smart bed… who tf is buying this crap? I still see Teslas out in the open and drives me mad to no end.
NGL if you have the money, a Watercooled bed is amazing.
Getting one that doesn’t work through the internet though, good luck.
Stupid bed.
Bed goes up. AWS goes down.
What is a smart bed? I mean it’s a bed. Are remotes too good for people?
anyone who buys a mattress that can’t work without being connected to the internet deserves this
The fix is investing in redundant internet at house from multiple providers. Satellite+fiber and achieve 99.99999% uptime so the bed won’t Crash and allow you a good night of sleep.
Because it’s unacceptable to send commands directly from the phone to the bed located in the same room, they need to transit between a dozen server farms to gather the delicious telemetry
Also: local=no subscription and that’s so bad

Yeah, uh… That wouldn’t have helped here since it wasn’t a drop in the internet on the user’s side that fucked shit up; it was whatever shit is going on with Amazon’s servers that make up a huge chunk of the web’s backbone.
The fix would be having your phone talk directly to the bed instead of having to do anything over the internet at all. Or just having a normal fucking bed that is dumb as shit.
