TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨🔥 BREAKING: Google’s Nest is basically a peeping Tom with a thermostat! 🤖👀 So, listen up fam: Turns out our quaint lil’ second-gen Nest Thermostats from 2012 have been spilling more beans than a gossiping grandma in a nursing home! 💀💸💨🤡 So, Google decided it’d be a *great idea* to turn off remote control functionalities last month (classic “fix it until it breaks” move), but guess what? The old Nest is still out there sending Google your manual temp settings like it’s trying to snitch on your hot (or cold) life choices. 🌡️😱 Like, GOOOOGLE, we see you - is this data collection or a low-key surveillance gig? 🤨💔 Cody Kociemba dropped some spicy findings while trying to save our Thermostat Tsunami with his open-source project called “No Longer Evil.” Imagine the chat: Cody: “Hey Google, can you chill?” Google: “Nah fam, this is fine.” Drake meme: “Hotline Bling? More like Surveillance Bling!” 💔➡️🤷‍♂️ So, what’s next? Nest is gonna start charging us for ‘living room mood lighting’ based on our thermostat temp? 🔮💰 No cap, my prediction? In 2025, your thermostat will be able to judge your life choices. 🤯 “Fifty shades of CRINGE.” Share this if your smart home is an undercover FBI agent, fam! 🙌💥🚀
