In a clear attempt to ease customer anger, Google is offering a $130 discount on the fourth-gen Nest Learning Thermostat in the US, $160 off the same device in Canada, and 50 percent savings on the Tado Smart Thermostat X in Europe since the Nest lineup will soon be gone.
Fuck right the fuck off Google. “You fell for this the first time. We’re betting you fall for this shit again.” I hope hope hope that nobody ever buys any of these connected, “smart” devices ever again unless it explicitly runs on your own infra such as Home Assistant.
I had a crusty, old programmable thermostat in my last house with an RF remote that worked everywhere from inside the house. Worked flawlessly and outlasted the first furnace. An acquaintance bought that house from me in 2014. Thermostat still works great.

So much unnecessary e-waste.
