Yeah, whether or not a bed should be connected to the internet aside, internet connected appliances should still be usable without a connection.

Reminds me of an anecdote about a company that did cloud-connected toilets (for some reason?) that one user found they couldn’t flush when they had an internet outage. Their technical support suggested they flushed it by filling a bucket of water at the sink to manually flush the toilet, which would’ve been a janky but usable solution, if the user in question didn’t also happen to have cloud-connected faucets.

Yeah, as it is it only works if the brute force algorithm gets it on the first try.

Muthafuckin miracles.

That’s a neat mechanic, needing to use the alien life for production. It kinda reminds me of the old days when you had to gather alien artifacts from destroyed nests as a resource.

You mean the same microphone every desktop had in the 90’s? Boy do I!
