aws outage taking down everything except this beautiful cockroach of a website
It sure has been a fun day of finding out what services are back-ended by AWS!
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is experiencing a global outage. Mametchi is not happy.
When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roast
Sleepers snoozing in Eight Sleep smartbeds had a bad night on Monday when a major outage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) caused their beds to malfunction. Some were left with the bed’s heat blasting, others were left in a sitting position and unable to recline. One woman said her bed went haywire and she had to unplug it from the wall.
People finally learning first hand why Internet Of Things (IOT) is stupid and bad. The AWS thing was temporary, and the beds came back to life. Most of them, anyway.
But what happens when Eight Sleep goes out of business?
Or simply rolls out a new, "improved" version of the product that obsoletes the old stuff? They can turn the servers off at any time, or lock customers out on a whim. Their TOS permits that. Google has done that repeatedly with smart light bulbs, smart thermostats, and doorbell cameras.
All for a ridiculous fake requirement. After all, beds do not need internet capability.
Look all I'm saying is that the network of websites I've put together which my community has started calling "The Deviverse" remains unaffected by the us-east-1 outage
I'll remain smug about it until the next time it crashes.
