Eight Sleep’s products rely on cloud connectivity to control temperature and track biometric data. When AWS went down, users lost access to the app that manages its water-cooled coils, leaving them stuck with whatever setting was last active.

Pathetic. All this for temperature control and sleep measuring? OK we all know the real reason is for collecting and selling data.

You know that thing where they say “if it’s free, you’re the product”? This bed costs 2000 bucks and you’re still the product.

One viral post from tech enthusiast Alex Browne summed up the absurdity after his Pod locked itself nine degrees above room temperature. “Backend outage means I’m sleeping in a sauna,” he wrote.

These mfs haven’t even implemented a fail-safe mode! Why the hell doesn’t the bed lock itself to room temperature at failure? Like you have an app and sucking data like a vampire, but you cannot implemented even the most barebones safety feature.
