Toot

I bought a humidifier, a Levoit LV500S. The thing has WiFi connectivity, which obviously only works if you install their own shit app. So, I got it from the Play Store (it's called VeSync), installed it, paired with the device, and right after setting the WiFi password, it complains that it doesn't manage to connect to their cloud service and then tells me that the way to fix this is TO CHANGE MY ROUTER'S DNS TO 8.8.8.8. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? #internetofshit #levoit #iotfail

Why would anyone force its customers to use any particular DNS server? ESPECIALLY Google's.

Anyway, support ticket sent. I'll keep you posted. Even if I know you don't care.

@ubik it's not like your data will syphon itself out of your network and into oligarchs' hands...

@jt_rebelo I chuckled at the image of Sundar Pichai looking at charts and wondering why my home is so dry in winter.
