It is amazing/horrifying to me how many people are intent on reincenting the reasons why we have UL, the FDA, the FCC, traffic laws, seatbelts, electrical codes, fire marshals and unions.

- NoPicklez 1y agoExactly, there's not much more you can do when you're asleep. However, this system might just nudge you awake if something happens when you're asleep. Or it won't and you would be no worse off than if you didnt have it. It's not going to solve all problems.
