      Yeah, that’s so ridiculous. They could’ve just turned off the heating and made it lay flat, and it would’ve been fine. But evidently, they did not even think about handling an outage.

    So by tying the bed to Amazon’s cloud exclusively, reduces its uptime from 100% to 99.5% or lower…

    a lot of people are questioning why the beds are not fail-safe, while I’m actually not sure why a fucking bed has to have internet access in the first place.
