I have a microwave/air fryer/convection combo that I can't use unless I install a phone app. It came with the apartment. It has only a few "buttons" on its face. The UI is almost completely non-intuitive, but the app makes it easy. Every time I bake bread I fight the urge to blow my brains out as I navigate to the app. I have become that which I mocked.
I yearn for the days when my toaster just made toast.
There's a line that needs to be drawn between things that benefit from IoT and things that should've remained dumb
Do you have a smart toaster? What's it do, write tweets on the toast?
"Anyone want any toast?"
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
"Anyone want any toast?"
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I can't believe this is true. Show pictures and link to the vendor. I wanna see this for myself.
So I've just had a look out of curiosity and every single result for smart microwave (there's not that many) has buttons on its face as well.
Use an old phone with no user accounts in it.
God, what garbage.
