You can always install a normal toilet it's not that hard

Stupidly enough, if you read their warranty policy, they got around the fact that it's not legal for a warranty company to remove a warranty for modding the equipment, by forcing you to have a subscription in order to use the warranty. Their website states

The Pod is a product designed to be slept on every night – and designed to last. We stand behind our product with a 2-year limited warranty, meaning if you have any issues or problems, our team will replace your Pod device as long as you purchased directly through Eight Sleep and have an active membership.

Since this membership is the same thing that is connected to controlling the bed through the app from what I understand, it sounds like even if you did mod it you would still be stuck with that remote solution due to the fact that if you canceled your subscription you wouldn't have a warranty, inviting a warranty on a at minimum $2,500 bed is just no bueno

This is definitely a device that I would be putting my States warranty law into effect, because this sort of shit ain't legal in my state

This may help. (I wrote it)

Well, even a locally controlled bed would have "not worked" (well, it's still a bed obviously, just not heating/cooling) in a power outage.

Note our household got it when it was significantly cheaper (still expensive-ish, but not nearly as bad as now) and grandfathered into being able to use it without a monthly subscription. In a bit of bad/good luck, because replacements kept leaking, we got warranty-upgraded to the current offering. So get to know how the new stuff is without having had to pay as much or maintain a monthly subscription. When we bought it, at least, they had good warranty coverage for leaks.

So I get to see how good the hardware design fundamentally is while also knowing how anti-consumer the business and software side is going.

Ultimately when/if I lose sane access to the capabilities, I'll probably start poking around to see about hacking at least the heating and cooling, since we did struggle to find a good comfortable design for such a thing before getting here. They really did at least nail the mattress pad part, and the heating/cooling is pretty good without being obtrusive. The vibration and sensors might be nice, but ultimately I don't care too much about that.

Yeah, you just need to buy a non internet connected toilet from alibaba, model an Adapter of this propiatory connector that you cant find on the Internet because all tutorials get DMCAd and sued into oblivion, and then you have to somehow install it yourself.

Yea power outage makes sense given what it does. It's good that you got it cheaper, currently see the pods starting $2500 and the higher end is $5500, for a bed that requires a $17-27 a month subscription, and doesn't work if you lack internet is insane to me. excluding the warrenty part of it. Sad to see they downgraded their protections and quality

According to https://www.bizarro.com/secret-symbols the crown is one of the symbols "hidden" among the comics.

It doesn't count as satire if it's literally the situation word for word, you have to exaggerate it at least a little. smh

Yeah, not sure how often those commercial ones go out. I know the chain, or the bobber or some other plastic pieces will often break in the tank, but not to often. I notice they have more issues with those newer ones that have partial and full flushes, as if you are supposed to use half a flush if you urinate. Went through 3 of those cannister systems in a couple years.

there's imperfections in the UI on the stove. like for example there's no number pad. just up and down arrows. this means I can't input a timer for 17 minutes, I can go to 15 or 20.

others features like using the air fry broiler will only work with the app, but the regular broil setting works fine. the difference is the fan runs 100% of the time on air fry mode vs intermittently on regular convection mode.

designed inconveniences are the rage for product development now.

If you dont understand, my comment is an analogy for mich of the tech scene. My examples were from smart tvs, board level MacBook repairs, and other stuff.

As long as it has a built in camera and automatically shares to Facebook, I have no problem with this.

I never had that part break. The worst thing that happened is that the chain sometimes gets tangled and I need to open the water tank to untangle it. But it rarely happens and is kinda not a big deal.
