I was surprised to see 0 results for “leak” on this article. Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses were famous for having flat roofs and leaking. Anyone know whether these flat roofs suffered the same fate?

This exists as wifi-connected scales with Bottomless[1]. My gut reaction is that Bottomless is laughably absurd, an IoT device and middleman in search of a problem. But I’m trying to analyze it fairly. In what circumstance is this better th

I actually feel for these people. They know the site is awful and have no way to improve it except to make a manual.
