Your sprinklers haven't worked for two weeks because they're too old to be compatible with your new router security features
You can't turn up the thermostat because the app won't load on your phone anymore |

The sprinkler I do understand, it's nice if that shit can adjust itself to the weather. There's an open source project for that, OpenSprinkler. Probably will last longer than commercial stuff |

Just fill up with soapy water and spin around and stfu. Who asked for a sensor to see it the load was balanced?
It's like people looked at the ease of use and reliablity of printers (i can't connect to the computer that a cable is running too derp derp derp) and thought - what if we applied this to everything?
