How many GE engineers does it take to reset a light bulb?
rgarito:
The sad part is this isn't a joke....
Dave needs to do a video on this one...
MrMobodies:
It would make an interesting video.

Uploading to EEVblog2 now, but it's not what you expect. The render took 3 hours and I hope it works...
wraper:
It's certainly way easier than getting iphone into DFU or recovery mode which might seem simple but in practice you might need ten or more attempts before succeeding. What is a joke is people shocked by that and suggesting adding a reset button to the bulb thinking it's a great idea :palm:.
MrMobodies:
I have found one that does have a reset button but it also a wifi booster as well.

I could see that being inconvenient and difficult if it was inside a spotlight enclosure and it didn't stick out far enough or if it was too high up to reach.
