Smart bed is fine. ... Why does it need an internet connection at all, let alone a live one!?
Fuck these absolutely vile data harvesting trash companies that don't even remember how to do things locally...
It sounds stupid (and it kinda is) but modern smart beds track all your vitals and give you a readout of your brainwaves with suggestions on how to improve your sleep.
I can totally understand how people desperate for sleep would buy one.
It’s mostly marketing fluff plus that thing where more data != more knowledge, but I do get it. Sleep deprivation is the worst.
e: plus, you can’t expect sleep-deprived people to make good decisions.
Literally none of that requires a live connection, or a connection at all if they add even an RPi5's amount of compute to the bed.
Sure, you and I know that. Most people don’t.
I wasn’t talking about what’s necessary, but how it’s marketed. Most people don’t even know enough to have accounts on Lemmy.
