The future is weird. I have those philips hue lightbulbs where you control the colour through a phone app. Cool shit, but weird.

I don't have the Philips brand ones, but they are smart lightbulbs from an assortment of manufacturers that requires me to have 3 different apps installed.

Nobody would ever design lights like that. Smart things usually aim for graceful degradation.

we're already at a stage where many shops are in a frozen state when the internet is out because fuckheads forgot how to conduct commerce with actual cash
