You know? No matter what the device is, it should always have a "fail to local" mode for everything. This is stupid.

From the post:

>A major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on October 20 had the unexpected side effect of causing chaos in bedrooms across the US, as owners of Eight Sleep’s $2,000+ ‘Pod’ mattress covers found their smart beds had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures and odd positions in the night. The outage began around 3 am ET, when AWS reported “increased error rates and latencies” in its US-EAST-1 region. By mid-morning, Downdetector had logged more than eight million reports of disruptions affecting apps, games, and banking platforms.

My entire work got practically shut down over this yesterday. Even the doors wouldn't open because the cards were all cancelled without authorization.

That is comically stupid. You would have to be a fucking moron to have your building access systems be "in the cloud". It should be on-site and local only at most.

You know kinda where I work. When I say everything was shut down, I do mean everything short of Google hosted apps. The emails I was seeing throughout the day were pure comedy

Or a "SMART" anything for that matter. All of these products are designed by halfwits who wouldn't have the faintest idea of how to survive more than a few hours without electricity.
