The Cheapest Way to Control Lights
unlocking my phone and pressing a button that sends an HTTP request to google's servers which then send an HTTP request to some servers in shenzhen which then send a request to the lamp in my room to tell it to turn on. it may seem complicated but it's the cheapest way we know of to control lights
A social media post describes turning on a room lamp through an absurd chain of HTTP requests involving Google and servers in Shenzhen. The joke is that an extremely overcomplicated smart-home setup is presented as the cheapest possible way to control the lights, making it useful as a reaction to needless technical complexity.
