Yes folks if there’s no organic demand for this glorified party trick we CEOs will just manufacture it by shoving it down your throats

Love this! Excellent work and great use case for Zigbee 👍

Ok then, we’ll be sending election monitor monitors to monitor the monitors

Completely agree and thank you for saying exactly what needs to be said. I oftwn ask how did we get here? This timeline is so far off from the one I came to expect even like 10 years ago. How do we get back to a more stable, less angry society?

Love the creativity here. If it works, it works!

Looks cool but what is the purpose of this? There are no controls for setting temperature or pressure on this model, so isn’t it kind of useless?

Well done sir! I changed my air filter today, also an Audi.

Ha wow, maybe it’s just my area here in MA - it’s rare to see half gallons at less than $3 nowadays.

Milk was $0.06. Six cents! I can’t make out the units in the photo, I’ll assume maybe a pint or half gallon. That is super cheap even adjusting for inflation. It would still only be $1.34 in 2024 dollars.

This is definitely worth a read and I very much hope the author’s predictions come true, but I think it misses the mark in two big areas.

1. This article presumes these platforms will remain the same. In reality these companies will pull out all the stops to incentivize users to stay, and if that doesn’t work they will just buy up and acquire the competition, wherever the users are. Look at what’s happening with tiktok.

2. Some users - believe it or not - want a way to keep up with IRL friends and acquaintances. Instagram and Facebook provided a great way to do this (however less “great” nowadays). Still, I don’t want to email or text every single person I know just to share a photo or a recent event. And honestly I also don’t want every acquaintance I have sharing every detail of their lives over text or email or phone. Even with an alternative, we’d have to find and rebuild our personal networks all over again.
