My new home came with "smart features", like heaters controlled by a smart central hub with remote sensors, remote light dimming etc.
Took more than 3 months to have all the annoying gadgets replaced by dependable, manual solutions.
For me this stuff is not even "nice to have". It's more like "dear god, why would I want an extra layer of complexity?". The fewer moving pieces, the better.
But then again, I'm a developer, so dependable simplicity is my modus operandi. Different people seek different things.
- maxerickson 12y agoSure, the complexity and fragility aren't nice to have, that wasn't what I meant. I meant that something like a movie mode isn't worth much (it's merely nice to have), so it better not cost a lot or be fiddly.
