DRM Chair Self-Destructs After 8 Uses
unts writes "Taking DRM further than it's gone before, a group of designers have built a DRM'd chair that will melt its own joints and destroy itself after 8 uses. The chair uses an Arduino and sensors to monitor the number of uses, then triggers the melting of a set of joints that hold it together, making the product unusable without some carpentry skills. The video of device at work is both amusing and a little disconcerting."
But were the hipsters necessary?
At least we can be sure that Ikea isn't interested, since their chair already do that by default.
(And I had a good laugh about the article :)
Coz eternity my friend, is a long *ing time.
Should I decide to accept it?
Harbor Freight has perfected this technology ages ago.
And all of the executive branch too...
If they've been around for years, then their system obviously failed ;)
They'd have to be in attendance for this to be of any use.
It's longer than chairs last at Microsoft

And if your grandfather used to be a plumber, you'll get paid for his work until 90 years after his death.
Brilliant!
Egad man, as long as any of our previous three generations worked at all, we're all multi-millionaires! DRM has eliminated poverty!
Is it just me, or was the best bit about that the fact that he was described by the subtitle as the chairperson?

...excellent for Facebook.
I think for Facebook you might want to melt the occupants after 8 uses, not the chair.
Damn, someone ask the intern where the green button is!
