Smart Mattress With Lover Detection System Will Track Your Partner's Infidelities (hothardware.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the rat-out-cheaters dept.

MojoKid quotes a report from HotHardware: Do you worry that your significant other is having mid-day romps in your bedroom while you're stuck at work banging out TPS reports? There's an app for that, and a smart mattress with built-in sensors to detect when between-the-sheet activities are taking place, with or without your participation. It's part of what a mattress company in Spain is calling its "lover detection system." You can't make this stuff up. Or maybe you can. You might seriously question whether or not the so-called Smarttress from Durmet is a real thing or an attempt at a viral marketing stunt. By all accounts, it certainly looks real. There are two dozen ultrasonic sensors embedded in the springs of the mattress. These tell-all sensors detect the speed and intensity of motion, how long the mattress has been active, and the history of encounters. That data is used to create a 3D map in real time, which you can view on your mobile device with an app for either iOS or Android devices.

    In no-fault divorce, the division of property is done by the judge using guidelines set by law, not by who is the worst stinker. Alimony is awarded based on how long the other partner should need to earn their own way in the world, not on how rotten a bastard you are.

    "Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.

    Nope, not in no-fault divorces. The judge splits the assets and debts that were obtained while the couple were together, each one keeping whatever they originally brought to the relationship. If one party is incapable of supporting themselves, they are allotted a fixed time to get a job, after which there is no alimony payable or due. If they are already capable of supporting themselves, they don't get alimony. Child support is expected to be contributed by both parents according to a fixed chart of rates.

    That's how it works here,and it solves a LOT of problems. Lawyers hate it because people don't waste $500 of lawyer's time arguing about who gets a half-empty bottle of dish soap, or who owes who what. The amounts are fixed by statute. You might do well to ask for a true no-fault regime in your area.
