Time to trash your state-controlled Google Nest thermostats

Got home today and our Nest for our bedroom AC was magically set to 80 today. We keep it at 75. This makes sense. Good lord.

Why the hell would anyone want a smart thermostat? File this breaking news under "well, no shit"

Internet connectivity of your entire life is the modern day "all your eggs in one basket". I fear this with electric cars.... they could just shut you down remotely. I will put nothing past our corrupt government or corporate overlords.
Fuck all these smart devices in my home, this coming from an IT professional.

Thank God we still have the same thermostat that was installed in our house 15 years ago.
I'll treat google the same way i treat anyone else who messes with the thermostat in my house. Throw them out on the street.
We don’t have an AC but the thermostat for the radiant heat is not connected to anything but the heat which we keep at 65 all winter.

People always look at me funny when I go on an anti-technology rant. We as a society in general are entirely too dependent on tech.
Imagine if google decided to shut down their maps. Do anyone still have the multi folders? Let alone know how to use one?
Better get to know a local farmer/rancher.

I thought we were all smarter than this…? Government control becomes
once they have speech. This is the shot that will magically become normal overnight. Wanna control bandwidth….they will just make it rolling times or put limits to slow you down. 
guess all the small government “conspiracy theorists” are today’s Factual winners. This is an everyday occurrence in this admin.
it really is shocking that giving the government complete control of our entire lives isn’t a good thing..

You did yourself proud with this bit of shit spam:"it really is shocking that giving the government complete control of our entire lives isn’t a good thing".- This comment gets my 'NO SHIT SHERLOCK" award for the week.
I believe this statement has to be one of the most patently obvious "shit" statements I have ever seen in my entire life.

When I was a little kid, I loved when my mom asked me to bust out the giant road map to look up a street from under the passenger seat of her car. Right around 4 years old, page 27, square d-9! I got it!!!”

We have a smart gas oven. Had it hooked up to WiFi briefly for the fun of it, then realized I will literally never use that functionality and that someone could burn down my home remotely. Undid the WiFi immediately.
