“get mad, stop using it, get fired from coinbase.” Fucking nice.

As someone who just replaced the bearings on a washing machine motor (carbon-commutator), I uhh… agree?

The old machines are absolute workhorse beasts and they can work indefinitely as brand new with some maintenance here and there.

However my expectation of people doing this are basically zero. So this is an anomalous post. By the time you write a blog post complaining about how a machine has a required IoT thing, you could have fixed a handful of issues short of soldering in new relays or triacs on the control board.

Always have been. It’ll still take a bit of time for the HN crowd to simmer down the anti-hotz vitriol long enough to process what he’s actually saying.
