    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.

    That’s ridiculous. The app should merely talk to the device over wifi, if available. The cloud should only be used to connect from outside the wifi network.

    Why is everything so crappy?

      I get that the people who buy this stuff might not know what needing an always-online service to function entails, but what were the designers thinking?
