This one has been flying around Twitter. This can’t be real, I thought. But apparently it is.
Can you imagine Apple shipping this product? Yikes.
How to factory reset your GE light bulbs. Just watch.

I got started in smart lighting with GE’s Wink product and the associated GE Link bulbs. Then later I got some C by GE bulbs. Neither the hub nor the bulbs have proven to be very reliable at all, so I’ve had to go through similar reset procedures many times.
I’ve tried a few other brands, too, and the only one I’ve found to work reliably is Philips. They’re more expensive, but they work with HomeKit and I don’t bother with anything else anymore.
That is effing ridiculous. This is what happens when engineers are allowed to run things unchecked by designers or UX people.
The S in IoT stands for security.
After a minute I thought the video was on a loop. And then I realised that it wasn’t and there two more minutes to go.
Un. Be. Lievable.
Haven’t heard of HomeKit devices being hacked.
Nope, that shouldn’t cause migraines or seizures.
The last one that I heard about was the skeleton key hack. Honestly I don’t have IoT stuff around the house so I don’t pay attention to it.
I thought this was a prank.
Yeah no problems with my Philips Hue bulbs either.
Wow, this is ridiculous. I’ve complained about some of the quirks my Phillips Hue lights have, but I will never buy a GE bulb if they think this BS is acceptable.
“Hello, IT. Haveyoutriedturningitoffandonagain?”
Precisely. We’ve seen examples of this in the poorly-thought-out design of everyday things, throughout our lives.
