Rules:
1. What to post?
- "Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
- Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.
2. Behave.
Act like a nice human being.

I don't understand the problem, You've got a perfectly well working product, just without the Internet access. If you don't want to connect it to use the advanced features, just unplug it and use the mirror in the way you like.
Nobody bought this mirror accidentally for $1000. They bought it for the specific workout shit it does around correcting your form.
You people are so God damned smart and judgemental
You can see how incredibly easy it is to spread disinformation, counting on the overwhelming information bombardment to do no fact-checking and have us act - or not act at all - against our own best interests. By which I mean this sort of thing:

Are you on crack? What are you even taking about?
Some people enjoy having some unique tech are they wrong to be upset when the product they paid for doesn't work? It's dumb that the error takes up the entire mirror so by sharing posts like this on social media it encourages the makers to fix this flaw by using public pressure.
Who said it doesn’t work? It’s telling you to connect to WiFi. If you wanted to use the smart features, you don’t care if it’s blocking the mirror because the point of this device is not the mirror.
The features are smart but many of the people trying to use them aren't. So we get posts like these.
