Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co.
Eight Sleep smart bed found to contain an exposed AWS key and a likely backdoor that allowed engineers to remotely access users' beds
WTF?
I want to move to a timeline where this is part of a bad movie plot, not part of the news.
Offering quasi-government officials free beds to hack them is very cyberpunk
Peralez vibes intensify
On an unrelated note, that thumbnail image looks fairly convincingly like pixel art until you zoom into it. Conversely, the pixel art people are making with comfyUI and LORAs (locally) is insane. I messed around with it and you can generate 2d and 3d game assets of anything you can think of.
That is really fuckin cool
Do people still think Bezos is running Amazon? I'm sure he still has some influence but I actually think Amazon actually got even worse since he stepped down from CEO.
You can build a simple bed presence sensor using one of those pressure mats used to hook up to alarms in nursing homes and a water/leak detector (I use the aqara detector for this). You just have to strip off the end of the cable from the mat, find the wires that do the circuit inside of the mat (I just used the leak sensor to find them) and wire it up to the sensor. Boom, bed presence sensor! Of course, this doesn't track your sleep directly.
There are better gadgets to track your sleep. If you want to just track how you're sleeping, get a cheap fitbit. Withings or Apple Watch are also able to detect sleep apnea
You need a bed presence sensor? I mean, I guess you'd want to be notified if suddenly your bed was not present, but I can't imagine that it happens that often.
I bought a few of the pressure pads used for heated seats in cars and then hooked it up to a zigbee door window sensor. I just soldered the sensor ends to the reed switch. I use them for smart fatigue mats so my work bench powers up when I step on the mat and then 20min of non stepping has it power off the bench. Keeps me from forgetting to turn off my bench PSU and solder iron.
I want off this planet.
I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.
Sounds like an opportunity for someone to crowdfund a privacy respecting cover+chiller package.
