Technology working for you is different than you working for technology.

This guy spent months working on this. He was working for technology.

  • Not anymore - that was months ago when he did all that labor, it is no a sunk-cost. We can debate if it was worth the investment though.

    • Literally every person I know who is obsessed with home automation has spend thousands of bucks and hundreds if not more hours on automating things that take a second or cost two bucks for a paper version that doesn't use electricity

      The article is about a 2000$ eink display that shows a calendar and the weather. Your phone does that for free and you don't need to walk to the hallway every time.

      This is basically anti-technology. It takes more time, money and effort than just buying something from the dollar store that does the same thing
