Good thing i never bought a Nest device. As with most "Google made" devices the lifespan and their commitment to support a product are abysmal.

Honestly we need to change the way we think about products - especially household products like those Nest was selling. No way can i save money with it if i pay 300$ and it gets killed after 2 or 3 years. And i'm not even talking about the environmental aspects.

The documentary about Dieter Rams makes me long for more designers who understand their responsibility.
