Almost burned down my shop because I kept ignoring the AI fire detection alerts on my phone
I dismissed 3 warnings from the system over 2 months until a small electrical fire broke out near the breaker panel, and now I check the logs every morning like my life depends on it after that scare last Tuesday has anyone else had false alarms almost cost them real awareness?

Man that's rough but honestly it's the same crap everywhere now. People get so used to notifications and alarms that they just tune them out. I see it all the time with my own stuff - phone dings for the same weather alert three days in a row so you stop caring. Then one day it's actually serious and you're screwed.

My car did something similar last winter, the TPMS light came on like 4 times over a month and it was always fine, so I stopped even looking at it. Then I blew a tire doing 70 on the freeway and nearly ended up in a ditch, so now I get where @betty_shah is coming from with the tuning out thing.
