This is right up there with the Louvre security being connected to the internet and was hackable. Maybe some old fashioned alarms and guards would've been better.
Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?
Not being able to do it from a distance would probably be a boon to security.

good. I hope that whole industry fails. plug in anything is bullshit. give me old fashioned!!!
Can't just unplug them?
That would require thought. Something that anyone buying a "smart" device, lack.
Stupid bed.
I wonder what kind of data about your location and bedtime activities are these beds collecting and selling?
Woe, the bed got an erection.
What is a smart bed? I mean it’s a bed. Are remotes too good for people?
its like a smart fridge, or a smart electric toothbrush, something that requires an internet connection, usually it connects to an app on your phone to control certain features on said appliances, which people are too lazy to do themslves. when AWS went down, apps, or sites that uses aws went on the fritz.
