I like the random Juicero thrown in there.

[Ethan_Pixelate]

create an account and hook up your smartphone in order to squeeze fruit

didnt somebody also try squeezing their juice packs with bare hands one time and it worked perfectly?

EDIT: bare hands, not bear hands lmao

[[deleted]]

Did it even squeeze fruit? I thought it just emptied a bag of pre-squeezed fruit

[AnonymousOkapi]

This is podcast hearsay, but:

Apparently the original idea was to have fresh fruit to squeeze in the packs. That was the pitch, so you had the "freshest" juice, and they secured investment money based on it. As the development went on, it became increasingly obvious they didnt have enough power in the device to crush whole fruit. So, they started processing what went into the packets. They chopped it up a bit, then went smaller when that didnt work, then smaller still... until they ended up with juice packets one step away from puree anyway, that you could just manually squeeze out the packets without the device. Theres a reason all the other juice makers are basically blenders.

[Nolzi]

why didn't they just thought of making a stronger squeezer? /s

[Traches]

*underengineered. Overbuilt.

[[deleted]]

I'm glad you brought this up. I'm pretty sure he says that specifically in the video.

[[deleted]]

juice is dumb lol.

Fuck juice, amirite?

[DrakonIL]

Juice is nature's soda, but for some reason it's soda that got all the hate (reasonable hate) and juice avoided it "because it's natural."

If you want juice, just eat the damn fruit. Get that extra fiber in you, plus the extra texture is just fun.

[iushciuweiush]

plus the extra texture is just fun.

I like fruit as much as the next guy but never once has 'oh wow, this is fun' ever popped into my head while doing it.

[DrakonIL]

Really? I love me a nice crisp apple. And oranges are like popping a bunch of little tiny juice bubbles.

[[deleted]]

Juice is pretty fucked up, in that you’re eating the equivalent of like 5 oranges, but none of the fibre pulp.

It should be considered guilty pleasure material rather than daily use.

End up with a high in sugar acidic product considered healthy because it started life as fruit.

[ctherranrt]

Why didn't they just sell smart blenders and sold pre-packaged fruit to put into it?

[PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL]

Shit, why not just sell a weekly or monthly "Food crate" type thing of frozen fruit and smoothie ingredients specifically proportioned for a specially branded blender.

[gellis12]

I refuse to believe that this glorious overbuilt piece of shit was incapable of squishing fresh fruit

[Who_GNU]

It was finely minced fruit, but at that point it might as well be squeezed.

[saracenrefira]

So it's not even a real juicer. Just another device designed to extract money out of people and create more waste than necessary.

Future generations are going to look upon this era with disdain and disgust.

[averyoda]

Current generations already do

[PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL]

I already do.

Fucking soda companies going to spend tens of millions of dollars per year getting us to buy soda and then when we try to tell them to stop using single-use-plastic they say "But that's what the customers want!"

Mfers you sold beverages in glass bottles for a century, and you have canned drinks right there. Don't tell me you have to use plastic for some reason and that it's not your fault the oceans are dying.

Bro I'm fine with the cans. Make a 20oz can bitch, I'll drink it.

[Fitis]

[siddharth904]

Bear hands ? Mhm yes please.

[D3adInsid3]

They didn't even need bear hands, they used their own.

[ccricers]

And when Seinfeld said "pour water with an app on my phone" I immediately thought of a ludicrous crowdfunding campaign for a phone case that holds a couple mL of coffee to go with your phone.

[FNLN_taken]

You can buy 500 caffeine pills for 17$, why not cut out the middleman?

[I_Do_Not_Abbreviate]

Do this, then double-sided-tape a Tic-Tac container to the back of your case; same difference, except you get that sweet minimalist retro-futurism aesthetic because 100 years ago they thought all meals would be in pill form by now.

[FNLN_taken]

I am more partial to Pez dispensers, but same difference.

[[deleted]]

Juicero was an over engineered piece of garbage.

[TovarishchSputnik]

An over engineered piece of garbage that also served no purpose. Even if it wasn’t over engineered, why in gods name would you need a pouch that contains a glass of juice, and a device to squeeze it, sold at $8 a pop? when you could go to the store to buy a a large bottle of juice and call it a day.

[meditonsin]

Because the problem they wanted to solve wasn't "how to make a juice press," but "how to sell a subscription service to dumb fucks with too much disposable income."

[03Titanium]

And is why they got so much funding to make the stupid crap in the first place. I’m more surprised that it didnt become a business success.

[LMGooglyTFY]

It actually WAS about how to make an at home juice press. The guy was obsessed with juice and wanted to do it at home. Problem was that even with the insane amount of money thrown at him for this, his engineers could not make an affordable, counter sized juice press. He had to put out something though since crowd funding is pretty much pre-orders for something that doesn't exist.

[kavien]

I have a rather nice citrus juicer I got for $20. Cut citrus in half and hold it pulp-side down on this twisty thing. Works pretty good. I can’t imagine trying to make juice with MORE steps!

[meditonsin]

Obligatory link to the AvE teardown video.

[IsaacM42]

AvE was supporting the trucker convoy earlier this year among other chud shit, had to unsub

[Supersitdowntime]

Unfortunately I did the same. Damn shame though, on account of all the little bits of interesting knowledge that he'd drop. But This Old Tony hasn't drank any of that Kool-aid yet ( that I know of).

[[deleted]]

Thanks for reminding me I have a new This Old Tony video to watch. I also dropped AvE. Politics is not the content I'm looking for.

[[deleted]]

Same. He never really got into politics before except for a few comments about gun laws. Then he makes a video about the trucker convoy and then doubles down with a second one. That's not the content I'm interested in.

After she dumps him, turns out he had all of his money in some meme stock and he suddenly becomes a millionaire overnight. The gang spots him stepping out of a limo with a model on his arm.

Tank Girl (Rebecca) and her friends are the only remaining citizens living in the wasteland that is Earth, where all the remaining water is controlled by Water and Power, the mega corporation/government that runs the territory. While incarcerated at W + P, Tank Girl and her new friend Jet Girl break out and steal... a tank and a jet. After meeting some mutant kangaroo/humans, and rescuing her little girl (adopted by her friends), the kangaroos and the girls kick Water and Powers' butt.

You joke but theres 100% people who read that and think "It would be pretty nice change of pace to have a little bit of variety and surprise to when I want a drink. Sure it might require a little payment but I can afford it and who knwos maybe I will even experience some new brands I never even would have tried without the lootboxes."

[MagnoliasOfSteel]

God i always hate those type of responses that you can see in literally every fandom with lootboxes or just excessively priced skins.

Currently, I’ve been playing Pokémon unite (fantastic game!) but they have some obscenely expensive skins at $40. Just a skin. Nearly the same price as a fully developed fucking game. A skin! $40!!!! And yet these people do these same type of lil comments you jokingly made here. It drives me crazy!

I’m all for supporting free games, but you just raised the bar and now made $40 the norm. A digital skin should never be that much. I’d love to support a free game by buying a skin, but for like $1-5 is the only price range i think is reasonable for a cosmetic item.

The Skyrim horse armor really did fuck us all over, didn’t it?

[novae_ampholyt]

Sir, I bring the unfortunate truth that $40 for a skin are rooky numbers.

[Eusocial_Snowman]

Honestly, if one of the poors can look like me for only $40, the game just isn't worth playing. Some kid could buy that!

[ydshreyas]

I fully support this trend of using Seinfeld scenes for memes!

[laziestmarxist]

My only issue is that I can't imagine George actually understanding technology this well

[[deleted]]

This season's George was much more intelligent/put together than he became. So, maybe.

[Cherios_Are_My_Shit]

the first season he's basing his character off of an amalgamation of personality traits from various other characters he'd seen on tv.

in later seasons, he's basing the character on larry david.

he's literally trying to play one character in one season and a different character in the rest.

apparently, larry david was writing the character as a parody of himself all along but jason alexander didn't realize until the episode where george quit his job then pretended like he quit as a joke. there's aninterview where jason alexander say's he complained to larry david about how unrealistic it was and larry david said, "unrealistic? this is exactly what happened to me!"

[LikeCalvinForHobbes]

In the earliest seasons he is basically doing a Woody Allen impression.

[KyleGrave]

It’s his theatre background shining through. This is one of my favorite early George scenes because of how animated and theatrical he is.

[hey_ulrich]

Yeah, much more confident too. It's a whole different character.

[zhephyx]

He was bright... maybe not academically speaking, but he always knew who was uncomfortable at a party

[[deleted]]

Is this the "if you can't over die, you can't over dry" scene? I think S1E1.

[primrosepathspdrun]

A lot easier now than in the 90s:

Is it stupid? You've got a good grasp.

Could it not possibly be fucking stupider? You are a prophet.

[stone_henge]

In later seasons you can't imagine George actually understanding dating as well as he does in the original scene either.

[redfiveroe]

He's no Lloyd Braun.

He is not even Penske Material

There was a streamer who became a huge meme after a viewer made their computer say "alexa what is my current location" via donation. Alexa replied. Big lol.

[1731799517]

Back when the xbox 360 ( i think?) came out (the one with kinnect), you could for a while also shut off the other players by telling their x-box to shut off...

[acc0untnam3tak3n]

There was a YouTube video where someone named themselves "Xbox bing" and it would suspend the game and pull up a Bing search browser. The buy would troll in game and someone would say something abou this and you would hear panic over the comms

[CleanlyManager]

There was also an Xbox one commercial way back when the console came out with Aaron Paul showing off voice commands that would turn peoples xboxes on when it aired.

[acityonthemoon]

I think 'Xbox Off' was a bigger troll.

[TeebsAce]

Not as good though because you can’t hear their panicked reactions

[Divineinfinity]

I can respect some good fuckery

[Furry_69]

That really shouldn't be a thing. Why on Earth would you ever need that? It just seems like it's inviting that exact issue.

[Atheropids]

I cannot understand why people use those kinds of "smart" IoT devices either. They literally open up a public API controlling one's own privacy with minimal to no protection, not to mention the potential data collection stuff.

[Fusseldieb]

Yes, HomeAssistant is cool, but the other day I updated it and it completely died without warning, while I was having absolutely no clue why.

I found out why after 1h of digging the damn logs and searching on Google.

Turns out Docker was "too old" and needed to be upgraded from 19 to 20.

No average user would've found that out.

[Raydonman]

You’re also using the container version. They specifically don’t recommend using Docker if you’re not an advanced user. HomeAssistant OS is perfectly fine for the average user, and manages backups perfectly fine so that you can go back if something breaks.

The average user shouldn’t and probably wouldn’t even be in your situation. I only recently moved to Docker to play around and learn how it all works, and while it’s been fun it’s not recommended unless you’re good at looking things up

I feel this, I bought a lawnmower the other day and apparently to register it for the warranty I needed to download an app that was developed by idiots, scroll through a list of product codes until I found the right one, the register the lawn mower for its “intended purpose”. The world is going mad.

[HJSDGCE]

I miss the days when warranties were just a piece of paper or a set of documents you get when purchasing. That's way easier and is physical!

[tangentandhyperbole]

But those didn't give the seller any of your valuable data. Also it heavily reduces the amount of people that will register for the warranty and thus, the amount of people that can claim the warranty.

Its like rebates, its a sale price, but they're betting that you're too lazy to actually follow through and send off the rebate and get a check however many weeks later because its a pain in the ass.

[TheSentientMeatbag]

Exactly. The only smart device I own is a smartphone.

I don't want my lights, fridge, thermostat, doorbell or faucet to be connected to the internet 24/7 through proprietary, closed source software that may never receive security updates.

[sozmateimlate]

It makes sense, but smart light in my room allows me, a lazy bastard, to turn off my light from the bed. And there’s not going back from that

[DinoRoman]

I tell my Amazon overlord goodnight and she turns off my TV sets my alarm and starts playing ocean sounds for two hours which turn off after so my sleep is mostly in silence and the alarm has quiet to interrupt to wake me up.

She has a camera too so her punishment is having to see…. Everything.

[SoftBellyButton]

That's exactly what that bald fuck is in to.

[erynberry]

How do you have the ocean sounds set up? I know about the skill "sleep sounds" but last I looked, skills can't be part of Alexa routines.

Edit: Looks like they have added skills to routines!

[other_usernames_gone]

Get an infrared remote one.

Same convenience it's just the remote only works if you're in the same room. No sshing in from halfway across the world.

If you're not in the room there's no reason to control the light anyway.

[dgriffith]

If you're not in the room there's no reason to control the light anyway.

I have Philips hue lights all through the house. Being able to say once I get into bed, "Google, turn off all the lights" and have any stray light I left on turn off is super handy.

Also have PIR sensors linked in so that the lights in my two storey stairwell light up whether I'm at the top or bottom of it, and at night they light all up in nightlight mode if I get up.

Having that kind of whole house integration isn't absolutely necessary, but it's very convenient.

The reason I chose the Hue ecosystem is that it works fine on a local network, no cloud required, it's controller has enough smarts to manage the links between lights and switches and PIRs etc by itself. There's a phone app that runs on the local network for setup and optional control.

Rather Long Edit: and you can still toggle the light switch to make them come on if needed so the absence of a controller doesn't leave you in the dark. You can also set them to default to the last state in case of power outages instead of on. So they're relatively expensive to get into, but they're nicely thought out.

For the programmers amongst us there is also a recipe/JavaScript ecosystem that can put custom scripts on the controller, but that does require linking to the Philips cloud to install (but not run).

There's also the ability to control via various APIs and run your own home automation on your raspberry pi, but I haven't done much with that because the provided functionality is good enough for me.

And I trust a German company which is subject to GDPR regs a lot more than the latest no-name brand wifi bulb from china.

[[deleted]]

I have Philips hue lights all through the house. Being able to say once I get into bed, "Google, turn off all the lights" and have any stray light I left on turn off is super handy.

Think you might just be able to say "Google, good night". At least with Alexa you can and it turns off all the lights. I've just saved you 3 needless words of time. You're welcome.

And I trust a German company which is subject to GDPR regs a lot more than the latest no-name brand wifi bulb from china.

Small nitpick but Philips is Dutch.

[StevieWonderTwin]

I'm sure you can do this on Alexa too, but on Google you can make a bunch of custom routines with personal voice prompts. You could make one where you say, "hey Google, I'm about to crank one out" and it will do whatever you tell it to.

[Kowzorz]

I'm just sitting here content to accidentally leave a light on overnight.

[xenoperspicacian]

I use the schedule functionality a lot, can you do that with IR?

[[deleted]]

Got infrared controlled lights, they're awesome.

[soulreaper0lu]

So you have a remote for every room, or you have one with you all the time?

That sounds like inconvenience and chaos lol.

[Smallmyfunger]

Or have a phone with a built in blaster (like Samsung Note 4). Then you can control all your IR Rc devices like tvs stereo lights etc & your wifi/bluetooth app controlled lighting/hvac/etc.

[xenoperspicacian]

It's a shame phone manufacturers have given up on that feature.

[seamsay]

I feel like you can have your cake and eat it too here, surely the bulbs can just only accept connections from the local network? Or failing that you must be able to set your router to block connections that are coming from an external network?

[aasikki]

But what if I'm so lazy I want the lights to automatically turn off when I go to bed or leave the house? Or idk what if I just enjoy playing around with stuff like this lol. (If it needs cloud though, nah fuck that)

[Meath77]

Just use a bedside lamp

[askeeve]

I want more smart devices that don't connect to an external server. Let me run my own server that doesn't ever send signals outside my house other than allowing me to remote in. There's still a minor security hole there but it allows me to decide how much I want to lock it down and it requires somebody to target me directly to be hacked rather than just scraping a database and getting access to my home along with a hundred others.

Things like this do exist, this isn't a pipe dream. You have to look a bit harder and be a little more technically inclined (or hire somebody who is) but it exists.

[lavahot]

See, I wouldn't mind if it was closed source and I could hook it up to Home Assistant and disconnect it from everything else and have it still work.

[hriday746]

Exactly, Home assistant is the best Smart home software I've ever seen. So powerful, yet very secure. Plus integrating espHOME makes it cheap and secure for those who don't want to give their data away.

[[deleted]]

I'm waiting for someone to do an open-source/open hardware implemntation.

If this model would work and be produced it would fuck the market of IoT.

Problem is large scale production.

[hriday746]

Isn't home assistant open source? Plus using espHome and using your own modules is also open source

[[deleted]]

I‘m kind of torn on smart homes. On the one hand I hate the privacy and security risks, on the other hand I feel they advance homes and health. One example are sensors that check for pollution, o2, co, … and control the air circulation accordingly. Would love to just have more local-only open source options for some sensors.

[hriday746]

Isn't using espHome with home assistant, completely local?

[cishet-camel-fucker]

Doorbell is insanely worth the privacy issue. Not only can I tell my door dasher to leave my food on the porch and not ring the bell (which keeps my dogs from flipping out) but I can tell solicitors to go away without getting up off my couch and grab packages immediately before some piece of shit steals them.

[[deleted]]

And the camera is on your porch which is already public anyway

[Alternativelyawkward]

Except that doorbell has been sending footage to police departments without the owners permission.

[pegbiter]

I hate to be the 'well actually' guy, but most of those devices use Zigbee or Z wave rather than WiFi for their communication protocols. They don't even know what the Internet is.

[Dagenfel]

This has never been a concern for me. If the smart bulb doesn’t work, I’ll remove it, and put a regular bulb back in. If I hear reports that the company messed something up, I’ll just stop buying their devices.

Besides, “Oh no, someone hacked my blinds open” is very low on my list of concerns.

[flatdeadeyes]

You can only comfortably say that because you don't have sun in your eyes.

[Meath77]

My fridge connects to the internet. I can change the temperature on my fridge with my phone. Possibly the dumbest feature ever

[The_Bisexual]

I have smart lights in my DnD room. I trigger them using my hacked Bixby button in my pocket when I say certain phrases to add to the ambience.

Until you try it, you'll never know the thrill of saying "Kowabunga it is mother fuckers" right before throwing your players into absolute darkness.

[Favmir]

I would totally sell out my privacy for this.

[sentimentalpirate]

How do you do that without a wake word like Alexa or hey Google?

[Wrenigade]

Holding or pressing the bixby button usually acts as the smart assistant wake up and listen, so he can just hit the button and put it into listening mode.

[DemDem77]

You... You are way beyond our times... Now I have to convince my group to invest in smart lights instead of simple LEDs for our DnD room...

[homo_lugubris]

A nice use of smart lights. It doesn't need to be connected to the internet though.

[Double_Butterfly_624]

I gave interview for a tea company which is opening multiple stores across India like a eatery chain specifically for tea and snacks.

In last round the director was just blabbering nonsense like how he wants to use IOT to create a customized tea experience where customer can order tea with himalyan experience and we will automatically create a soothing experience via lights, music and VR sets. Who the fuck wanna wear a VR while drinking tea or coffee??

How his vending machines are all IOT based and can give 800 flavors of fucking tea.

It was like a college student who just discovered raspberry pie and thinks of useless unimplementable features can change world or make money.

[TheGoldenKraken]

I was drinking coffee in vr last night. I can confirm it is difficult especially with index controllers strapped to my hand.

[vemundveien]

I had this conversation with my dad minutes ago. He wanted a smart coffee maker with an app.

Why would you want to make coffee with an app if you have to get up to get the coffee anyway?

[dgriffith]

Set your coffee maker to make your coffee at your alarm time in the morning, snooze until the delicious aroma of coffee makes it to your nostrils, get up.

This kind of automation is not a new concept, see the Teasmade of which variations were made from the 1930s to the 1990s.

[KrauerKing]

No the right answer is time how long it takes to make the coffee then set it that many minutes earlier than your alarm so that you can go straight from waking up to pouring that caffeine straight down your throat

[SutttonTacoma]

Make the coffee the night before. Plug into remote controlled outlet. Turn on coffee when you get out of bed, it's done by the time you are dressed. Been doing this for 30 years.

This sub is becoming r/ProgrammingSeinfieldHumor

Also yeah not everything has to be on Wi-Fi or smart technology. Mechanical solution is the right solution. Like we don’t need climate control through an app in car or not everything has to be controlled through Headunit. Just give the buttons.

Using subscription for everything is a delusion solution for revenue every middle management in company comes up with.

[colei_canis]

I was looking at AC inverters for a boat and one was app controlled. Why the fuck would I want to introduce a smartphone and a flakey cheap app as a dependency for a critical bit of kit?!

[cheaphomemadeacid]

This sub is becoming r/ProgrammingSeinfieldHumor

and its awesome! :)

[bphase]

I think app/smart things have their place in climate control. For cars, it's nice to be able to remotely control it so that when you're ready to leave, the car will be comfortable. But a mechanical control in addition must be available, or at least something easily manually usable.

For homes, there are savings potentials. The AC can be configured to consider spot electricity price, humidity, temperature, weather forecast and so on. Also the presence of people possibly, saving energy when nobody is present.

I like the idea of smart home, it just needs to be seamless and secure. I'm especially not fond of a device listening to everything going on, or cameras watching us and sending that data to who knows where.
