alt text for four panel image
First panel: a poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids asks a smart™ thermostat “hey little man hows it goin?” Second Panel: the smart thermostat points with a large arrow at a screenshot of a graphic that reads “August Trends: Heating & cooling compared with last year”, and shows zero hours more heating, 129 hours more cooling, with a small caption underneath that reads “On average, temperatures were 5 degrees warmer than August 2022” Third Panel: the poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids is shown with an unreadable smile in front of a semi-transparent image of a NASA article that reads “NASA Clocks July 2023 as Hottest Month on Record Ever Since 1880” Fourth Panel: the poorly drawn figure says “yea”
I lived through August with constant 36+ without an AC. Next year I’m fixing the damn thing or I’ll just die.
DO NOT INSTALL A SMART STAT OR ENROLL IN A “ENERGY SAVING PROGRAM” this just gives control of the thermostat to other people in the name of “energy savings”.
Your comment history has you on at least 4 watch lists LMFAO. FFS. Just wild. Mental health services need our support.
Oh the number of background checks I’ve done has me on lists long before Lemmy even existed.
Bad advice. You don’t need to forfeit control just because you’re using smart devices – learn about tech.
It’s a opt in “service” now. If you think it will stay that way forever then give me your ATM card and your pin number. I promise not to use it without your permission.
You can host your own stuff, dummy.
I’m of course talking about generic “smart” shit that every moron thinks is cool dummy.
Good grief that comment history. Either a massive troll or genuinely dysfunctional. Please don’t take this person’s advice for anything other than deranged rambling.
