The author is one of the reasons they can sell that crap. Why do people always only learn by experience?

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 25 points 7 hours ago

Smart people learn from their own mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes ot experience of others, stupid people never learn.

I take my beauty rest seriously. So seriously that, after months of testing, I bought my ludicrously expensive Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra review unit.

Imagine telling on yourself this hard

Yeh her ability to waffle is annoying. They oversaturated every point repetitively and pad it with crap.

I nearly choked on the protein bagel I’d been shoveling into my gob.

Short story they bought a ridiculous priced bed to give them data…and it gamified their sleep and gave them dodgy info…not a surprise.

Article takes 10 paragraphs to explain, and is entitled the bed needs to shut up. Ironic.

Telling on themselves what?

Isn't archive.is the one that uses you for a ddos attack

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yes but unfortunately it’s the only one that is coded to strip paywalls instead of archiving the page as-is

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

archive.ph also works to strip pay walls.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 6 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Isn't that the same one

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yes, these are all mirrors:

archive.fo|archive.is|archive.li|archive.md|archive.ph|archive.today|archive.vn

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 4 hours ago

Yes.
