I can't vacuum because us-east-1 is down
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoMy roobma works by just pressing the button. Assuming you still love at the place where your vacuum is, are you really that lazy?
- mandelbrotwurst 6y agoYou may not own the same vacuum.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoI can do it via wifi and by pressing the button on it. I press the button most of the time cause I have it vacuum before I leave somewhere.
- ericpauley 6y agoIt's not as fun to say "I can't trigger my vacuum through the cloud when the cloud is down."
- CincinnatiMan 6y agoDoes the poster ever mention what vacuum he's referring to? It's not clear what internet features a vacuum would have, so I'm curious.

- doublerabbit 6y agoVery true. Where this internet necessity came form, I do not know.
- reificator 6y ago> I really hope this shows companies that they should... Yes! Exactly! > ...always host in-house rather than using some-sort of cloud service for operations of their consumer product. What? Excuse me but what? You were so close before you swerved away from the right answer. I hope this shows companies that your vacuum cleaner should not require an internet connection. This is absurd.
- doublerabbit 6y agoGood point, long day and my cynicalism of wanting to see the world burn has kicked in. I should rephrase it as "That if the product is going to be internet enabled, servers should be in-house."
- corobo 6y agoIsn't in house way more likely to go offline? When AWS goes dark it's news. When some company's server room goes offline some IT tech gets a pizza paid for by the company and a bit of a late night
