  1. Aw c'mon, old HP scopes, generators, power supplies, frequency counters and other test equipment were the top league :)

  2. Internet of shit, everything-as-a-service, and planned obsolescence after a few years. Where the fuck is our world, society and civilization headed? Seeing this I really don't want humanity to expand to other planets. We really need to learn to clean up our own mess before we go anywhere else! By the way, now that you mentioned water heaters and temperature controls... that's precisely why I installed a home automation system on a LOCAL instance, self-hosted on a Raspberry Pi with a small UPS in case of a power outage. Plus I design my systems so that even when the connection / server is down, you still have a possibility of controlling them locally. Maybe I'm paranoid about the internet of shit thing, having observed the thing for like 10 years, but I strongly believe that it's us owners who must be in charge of our gear. In order for that to happen, we must know how the things work and how to troubleshoot them... which is becoming harder and harder these days, and that's why I fully support the right to repair.
