The website you linked to says that it’s not a class action suit, but a “mass arbitration” which I’ve never heard of. It also claims that Google has a “no class action” clause in its warranty/user agreement. I don’t see how that’s legal, but whatever. I also wonder if that clause was there at the time of purchase for gen 1 and gen 2 thermostats.

While an interesting idea, that project wants what amounts to the cost of a new thermostat in exchange for a kickstarter project. Might as well just buy a new thermostat.

Surprisingly, these still work as dumb thermostats after the cutoff date.

Was hoping something like Homebridge could be used to still control these, but so far no luck. After the cutoff they can be used manually like a traditional thermostat, which is a surprise coming from Google. I still fear they are going to generate a bunch of ewaste from people replacing them.

Isn’t this how Skynet started?

I think it’s more likely just Tim Cook. The buck stops with him. Someone needs to say no to some of this stuff (liquid glass, yearly release schedules, etc.) and that someone should have been him.

They did. Someone at the top has been ruining that experience lately.

Would this be a good replacement for 12v lead acid car batteries as well?

Just doing everything they can to drive people away from Windows.

Does that still exist?

Sounds like a great lawsuit. Also a great way for Flock to lose their contracts with large blue cities in Texas (and elsewhere).

It used to be a nice service that had content from a bunch of different channels and studios. Then Disney bought it and ruined it.

They should have been concerned about OS lock-in, instead of app store lock-in. Imagine being able to install the OS of your choice on your phone.

Now ask it about Biden and dementia and see if it does the same thing. 🤔

People aren’t taught to use critical thinking skills anymore.

Slack is so overrated. Isn’t there similar open source software for this, that businesses could run from their own server?

It could cost Bob Iger (Disney CEO) his job. Eisner is already gunning for him again.
