Quanti informatici ci vogliono per resettare una lampadina smart?

Se qualcuno avesse voluto riassumere in un solo video la demenzialità di certe istruzioni inventate dai tecnici per complicare le cose (o dall’ufficio acquisti per ridure i costi), l’ossessione dei designer per eliminare qualunque funzione visibile e parte meccanica, e la stupidità della mania di rendere “smart” qualunque cosa, non avrebbe potuto fare di meglio.

Santo cielo, gente, stiamo parlando di una lampadina. La quintessenza della semplicità. Sarebbe costato tanto includere, che so, un pulsantino di reset?
