These CEOs seem really slow on the uptake. Gonna put all your chips into the AI business just as the bubble is about to burst.

Sounds like Amazon taking a page from Walmart’s book.

Reminds me of ThunderScan. A device that turned your dot matrix printer into a scanner by pretending it was an ink ribbon cartridge.

Quite a claim from the guy who labeled things “Full self driving” and “Autopilot”. 🙄

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.
