  • Many years ago I was working for a company that sent me on business trips. When I left, my cat would stay with friends, whom he loved. Every time I came back from a trip, he would snub me. For two to three days, he would spend every moment sitting in the same room as me with his back to me. He wouldn’t look at me. If I tried to pet him, he would run off, only to come back and resume snubbing me a few minutes later. He would take food from me, of course. He wasn’t crazy. Then, after those two or three days, he would then forgive me and resume normal snuggles, but for those couple of days, I was dead to him.










  • Not the user you were responding to, and you’re correct about these thermostats, but not all devices retain functionality without internet connectivity. For example, these $2000 dollar ‘smart’ beds.

    Some reported on Reddit that they were woken up by their bed suddenly readjusting their preferred sleeping temperatures – some soaring as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Others say their bed became stuck at an extreme incline. According to The Washington Post, some beds also blinked flashing lights and sounded wake-up alarms.

    These things became contorted, overheating (or freezing) bricks when AWS went down last week and the owners had no control over them without the app.
