I wonder was it the drunk woman's estate who sued? Or the other people she harmed?

A TGI Friday’s in my city was shut down because a women left drunk and died in a car wreck that night.
The bar was sued and it was found TGI Friday’s over served her and on top of that knew she was drunk and let her leave. When the lawsuit was over TGI Friday’s shut down that store and now we only have 1 TGI Friday’s, which isn’t bad news for most.

im not reading 'tech literate' from this comment - backup cameras and fancy detection shit are not IoT tech and washers being globlar plastic blobs is a design thing and has nothing to do with technological advance or change
tech phobic and averse to change in general i would say

I hope the jury explains that sympathy can be found between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.

Most of the things they listed aren't IoT either. Washer/dryer could be I guess - but their comment was on the appearance of theirs vs others lmao.
Light bulbs are basically the only halfway common IoT device they specified.
But they're not tech phobic like their boomer parents guys, don't worry. /s

Don't think so. The poster you replied to said he was in Ontario.

​
Most states, I thought, have laws against overserving.
These laws need to be enforced, and if she was overserved, there should be consequences for the servers.
The main problem I see is that it should be the people whose homes she destroyed that are suing.

Wait, isn’t there ALWAYS a remote kill switch called a fuse box/circuit breakers?
This seems extremely dumb, if all of my switches in my house fail I can go to my fusebox, kill the main and EVERYTHING dies, no question about it

Maybe the locks are on the breaker too. My college had automated locks, and lights. Luckily there were manual overrides except in the case of the locks...for some reason they thought using an electronic chip lock was a good idea.

>we were provided a rough estimate in excess of $1.2 Million to comparably replace the entire system
1.2 Million dollars for what might be a failed 2 cent capacitor.
I realize this is the cost for a complete tear out and replace. Just wondering why nobody was able to diagnose the electronics.
TVs and computers get tossed for having a failed 2 cent part all the time.
