Oh fer gawd's sake... Smart mattress lets you know if your partner is cheating[^]
Quote: the jealous app user will be able to see in real time what parts of the bed are seeing the most activity, giving him or her a mental picture of exactly what their partner is up to.
There is a mental image for you...
"Darling, why is the new mattress plugged into the mains?"

Great idea, except...
The alleged cheated partner has to get permission by both the alleged cheating partner and his/hers alleged side-partner or else it isn't GDPA compliant and any evidence gathered will not be usable in court.
However, asking for permission may warn the partner that something might be up.
Of course if the partner and the side-partner are both pretty chill they'd give permission and this mattress will be great.

Hell's bells!
If you feel that way about your partner, just get a divorce -- you'll be doing them a big favour.

If you don't trust your partner you're in the wrong relationship.

And my wife used to test games for Atari. I wonder if she would have liked this?

As gentlemen, perhaps we should draw a discrete veil over that idea?

Maybe that is why the partner is cheating on them, because they think an active sex life is only going to be happening in the bed.

Yup.
BTW (and sort of kind of as you suggested) I put some Mini CCCs background on my profile page. You are mentioned.

My PC rebooted during the night for another Windows 10 update.
This time, it also started playing a Netflix in the background. Thinking to put it back to sleep, it now says I MUST create a pin # BEFORE I can sign in.
I'm now being RANSOMED by Microsoft.
I have only ONE pin. I've had it for forever, and I'm NOT going to use it on my computer (like probably most of the population will).
So there you have it. MS now has most people's bank pin numbers; or at least they've forced people to unconsciously expose themselves to more financial risk.
The arrogant stupidity of it all.
On top of it, Microsoft will tell you if your pin is "too easy"?!
On top of that, the "pin procedure" failed (I nearly sh*t myself), but we can "retry" at a later date.
All Windows updates are now "paused" by me. Note: I can't stop them.

Too make things "easier" (as per MS). That's the only explanation... while you're trying to sign in.
Easy for whom?

Me think you've been hacked and it has nothing to do with Microsoft (at least directly).

No, it's all MS. The normal 5:00 AM slot ... which is now paused.

I just looked at it on teh internets.
Seems to be a thing.
Inever saw it at home (nor at work, but it is a corporate win10 and the settings is globally disabled).
Have you tried disabling it in the settings (System -> Protecting to this PC -> Require PIN for Pairing ) ? (or using one of the workarounds out there?)
Oh, and AFAIK, it looks to be a short version of a long password, not a PIN to a financial institution.
I'd rather be phishing!

I've uninstalled the update for (Feb 1) and the nag screen is gone.
You have an update schedule in Settings. Also a "distribution" type. Then a pause option. All impact your update schedule. I've basically gone "pause" for as long as I can.
I know it's not a "bank pin", but what is the Pavlovian response when you're in a panic about getting at your info?
Too much 1984 and unanticipated social engineering.

I feel your pain and have had to suffer much of it myself. What really pisses me off about their updates is I have closed my laptop's lid for the evening and come back to find it running. WTFF? This laptop has a GPU in it and relies on the gaps between the keys to cool itself so since the lid was closed it was very, very hot. I was absolutely livid and ready to punch one of those dimwitted dumbasses in Redmond. Now I always turn off the wi-fi before I close the lid and I haven't that nonsense happen again.
While I understand the predicament of having to deal with the full spectrum of users who know nothing about computers all the way to being experts but they could allow a much wider range of options with the ability to easily return to the defaults. This is what I have to do in my software and it's really not that hard. Especially when you have a batallion of programmers under your command.

Exactly.
What is your average (older) person going to do with a DEMAND for a pin when all they want to do is check their email?
The MSN.COM is full of dynamic links to "your PC is infected sites".
There is a general disdain for public safety that I see increasing.

As an older person I can tell you they would get the standard pin I use for all hotel room safes and any other pin requirement. The bank pin would never be used anywhere but the bank web site that I access via the link I store in favourites.
Seriously just because we are old does not mean we are stupid, possibly senile but someone will have taken their computer away from us by then.

How about my "old" father then who is 90% blind?
You know what I meant; I didn't think it necessary for a whole song and dance.
In any event, I had another ("farm-type") "older relative" get ripped off by the "infected pc script" site who should have contacted me first.
Her "farm-type" nephew could have fixed it too.
Or is farm-type a problem for you too?
Oh, and I'm probably older than you.
