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.

Today I learned the word “sherd”.

They did. Someone at the top has been ruining that experience lately.

Actually amazed it isn’t running windows.

Would this be a good replacement for 12v lead acid car batteries as well?

Some of the companies on this list will be fine after the bubble pops because they make other products, and they didn’t do that stock swap circle jerk.

Thanks! Wish I could get that in the US.

What’s that pretty EV in the photo?

Just doing everything they can to drive people away from Windows.

VW management needs to get back to basics. Where’s the two door golf in the US? Where’s the ID.3? Why isn’t the smaller variant of the bus sold in North America? Where’s the EV Beetle? Bring back the Ghia. Bring back the small pickup. Reuse the same parts across your product line like you used to. There’s no reason every model needs a different shifter, or bespoke window buttons.

Stop treating VW as an expensive luxury brand you dolts. It’s supposed to be well designed reasonably priced basics, like the car equivalent of The Gap.

Sounds invasive.

Does that still exist?

I dunno. Microsoft, Apple, and Google have other products besides AI. They also have tons of cash. I don’t think it’s going to impact them as much.

Nvidia, Oracle, and OpenAI are the ones who will take the brunt. A lot of their value is investment between each other.

AMD will probably take a hit as well, since OpenAI is a huge customer.

Look for the other post that’s going around with the circle/arrows infographic.
