The Thermostat with Opinions

Priit and Anouk share a small apartment. Their smart thermostat controls the heat and air. It learns their habits over time. Most weeks, the temperature stays calm and steady.

Priit dan Anouk berbagi sebuah apartemen kecil. Termostat pintar mereka mengatur penghangat dan pendingin udara. Alat itu mempelajari kebiasaan mereka seiring waktu. Pada kebanyakan minggu, suhunya tenang dan stabil.

This week, the temperature changes constantly. It turns warm, then cold, then warm again.

Minggu ini, suhunya berubah terus-menerus. Suhu menjadi hangat, lalu dingin, lalu hangat lagi.

"Did you change the thermostat again?" Priit asks. "No, I did not touch it," Anouk says.

"Kamu mengubah termostatnya lagi?" tanya Priit. "Tidak, aku tidak menyentuhnya," kata Anouk.

"Someone keeps changing it," Priit says, confused. "I thought it was you," Anouk says back.

"Ada yang terus mengubahnya," kata Priit, bingung. "Kukira itu kamu," balas Anouk.

They both look at the thermostat together. A small light blinks on its screen. The screen shows two different temperature settings.

Mereka sama-sama melihat termostat itu. Sebuah lampu kecil berkedip di layarnya. Layar itu menunjukkan dua pengaturan suhu yang berbeda.

Priit reads the settings out loud. "One setting is your favorite temperature," he says. "The other setting is my favorite temperature," he adds.

Priit membacakan pengaturan itu dengan keras. "Satu pengaturan adalah suhu kesukaanmu," katanya. "Pengaturan yang lain adalah suhu kesukaanku," tambahnya.

"The thermostat switches between both settings," Anouk says. "It tries to please both of us."

"Termostat itu berganti-ganti di antara kedua pengaturan," kata Anouk. "Ia mencoba menyenangkan kita berdua."

Priit laughs and shakes his head. "That explains the strange changes," he says.

Priit tertawa dan menggeleng. "Pantas saja suhunya berubah-ubah aneh," katanya.

"We do not fight over the temperature," Anouk says. "The thermostat does that for us," she adds, laughing.

"Kita tidak bertengkar soal suhu," kata Anouk. "Termostat itulah yang melakukannya untuk kita," tambahnya sambil tertawa.

They open the thermostat's small app together. Priit picks a single comfortable setting for both. Anouk agrees and taps "Save" on the screen.

Mereka membuka aplikasi kecil termostat itu bersama-sama. Priit memilih satu pengaturan yang nyaman untuk berdua. Anouk setuju dan mengetuk "Simpan" di layar.

The temperature stays steady the rest of the week. Priit and Anouk both feel comfortable now. At night, they check the app one more time. The single setting still sits exactly where they left it.

Suhunya tetap stabil sepanjang sisa minggu itu. Priit dan Anouk sama-sama merasa nyaman sekarang. Malam harinya, mereka memeriksa aplikasi itu sekali lagi. Pengaturan tunggal itu masih berada tepat di tempat yang mereka tinggalkan.
