Nest Thermostat Bug Leaves Owners Without Heating (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Google-owned smart homeware company Nest has asked users to reset their connected thermostats after a software bug forced controllers offline and left owners unable to heat their homes. The company has confirmed that a software update error had caused the thermostat's batteries to drain, therefore making it unable to control the temperature. Users of the smart home device took to social media to express their anger at being left with cold houses. Some feared that the fault had put water pipes under pressure, risking burst plumbing.
Nest saved them money by not heating their homes. And still they complain???
due to a software error, but not the rooms that the computers are in.
Don't worry; the 2.0 version of the light switch software will reboot itself periodically so you don't have to!
It is not the older is better. It is that tested and vetted is better. That takes time. Never get the newest and greatest unless you are willing to deal with the chance of it breaking or acting in appropriately.
Acting in appropriately what? Acting in appropriately themed musicals? Acting in appropriately somber drunk driving ads? Please, for the love of god, finish your sentence.
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
You have to realize you are talking to an Ixian here. If it can be made more complex through technology, they are the ones to do it.
It could be worse. He could be Tleilaxu.
