Amazon doesn’t make anything. There’s very little on Amazon that can’t be purchased somewhere else.

Gemini is wrong quite often. You shouldn’t rely on it to tell you facts.

If I need to double check it, then it’s worthless to me.

After a month and a bit of changing your habits, a lot of folks will have found other decent options and never go back.

Even if most people return to their old habits, many will not.

40 days of change can have a significant impact on a company, even long after the boycott ends.

It’s also underselling what they are providing.

If you intentionally turn on your sprinklers as a deterrent, and it does damage to a person or property, you’d be liable for that.

What if someone had important papers that you ruined. Or you broke their non-waterproof phone? What if someone was stepping off the sidewalk to let a wheelchair pass and you just doused them and the person in the wheelchair?

What if your automated sprinkler starts spraying the EMTs or Firefighters coming to help you cause you fell in your bathroom and can’t get up? What if it shorts out the Lifepack they were going to use to check your heart and deliver an AED shock, and now someone died?

Automated booby traps are always bad because you can’t judge the intent of the person, or animal, that might trigger it.
