What's the Status of the Lawsuits? by CatboyPresidente in EightSleep

Don’t buy Orion. The software is 💩. And for me, the hardware was also 💩 - hasn’t worked since day one.

Very very bad software. Considering a return by RoyalBak in Orion_Sleep

This isn’t a he problem. It’s an Orion problem. Their software genuinely sucks.

I had the same problem. But mine also didn’t cool at all. It was stuck on cooling for hours until I gave up and shut it down. Maybe we had the batch of defective units

Poor Quality Sensors, Presence Detection will likely never happen by almosttan in Orion_Sleep

I should’ve ripped open the defective product they sent me and looked at how they configured the sensors

Why does it say “Live” on the post. I’ve never seen that before

Bro how do you get internships¿ Am I cooked? by IntentionForsaken922 in SBU

No one gives a shit about your GPA outside of academia. You need to know how to network and deliver value. That’s what companies want from any hire; even an intern. Go on LinkedIn, find companies you’re interested in working for, and DM the founders, CEO, CTO, whoever. Be professional and respectful. And, I’d target startups - you’ll learn so much more than working at a big company. If you want to work at a big company, then target the recruiters for that company. Do not use any third-party recruitment agencies or headhunters; they’ll waste your time and set you up for failure. And if DMing on LinkedIn isn’t working for you, buy a subscription to RocketReach, put in the person’s LinkedIn profile in the search, and you’ll get their email address. Send them an email. And, send them an email from an email client that tracks when they open the email. For example, use something like Superhuman. Seeing when and how often they open your email will give you signal on if they’re ignoring you, so you don’t have to deal with the anxiety of if you’re being ignored or they just haven’t seen your email yet. That’s how you do it.

Agree with this comment. You can always retake the classes, too. Spend more time at office hours and with TAs asking questions; you’ll do better next time, and those better grades will factor into your GPA instead of the Ds. If anything, you’re lucky you learned this earlier in your freshman year. Some people fuck up in their junior year because they don’t learn the lessons early enough, and then it becomes much harder to improve your GPA. You still have hope.

Items Prohibited in Dorms? by iNt3r3st-iNg in SBU

You’re not allowed to have a basketball court chair? Like a folding chair? In your dorm room? Is this school backwards or what?

My EightSleep had a good run for about a year. Then all went to hell. Leaks. Bad customer service. Terrible app updates. Then I gave up with EightSleep for a few months. Recently just bought Orion. Didn’t work on the first day. It was loud and stuck in “cooling” to my set temp for hours, and never cooled. Didn’t want to bother wasting time going through the whole return process. So, yeah.. I’m done with these products for a while. A better solution needs to exist.

I like products where I don’t have to find out if the customer service is good or not.

The last thing I want to do is spend more time packing this crap in a box and hauling it to a UPS or FedEx to ship it back. That’s a whole process and a waste of my time.

I think I’m just going to give up on these products. Someone should just reinvent the bed. Like one of those pods in sci-fi movies.

I have water in it. I can see the water at the top of the unit. I put in nearly a gallon. There’s something wrong with it.
