Hey there it's cold in your place today! Want a new heater? Blankets? Radiators? Scarf? Coat? Socks?

Google has officially made Nest products not worth buying. Not only are they force-merging Nest accounts with Google identities, they're killing the API too.

Definitely not buying any Nest product going forward. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/05/nest-the-company-died-at-google-io-2019/

also, fuck CNET and its shitty autoplay-with-sound videos, they should be banned from doing internet

It's some late stage capitalism bullshit when you have to sue the building owner to be allowed to remove the smart lock and use a normal goddamn key https://www.cnet.com/news/tenants-win-rights-to-physical-keys-over-smart-locks-from-landlords/

Inventor of the Dishwasher: I HAVE CREATED SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE ALL YOUR LIVES EASIER.

Humanity: WHOA. So we just put dirty dishes in and it cleans them?

IoDW: Um, no. You need to wash them first.

H: Uh...

IoDW: Not thoroughly. Just, like, what you'd do if you were drunk.

Seriously though, I have a few followers and tweet a bunch, and Twitter still emails me stuff like "hey internet of shit here's how to FAVORITE A TWEET"

USERS: twitter is broken and you dont seem to do much
TWITTER: what about some LABELS that explain who REPLIED
USERS: no, just like make dms better or ban the Nazis?
TWITTER: ok great here's a dark mode that's EVEN DARKER
