    I’m never buying a “smart” appliance for my home if I can help it.

    None of these need this shit. Give me basic ass buttons. I just need my fridge to be cold, make ice, and spit out water. That’s as smart as I want.

    None of these things need a wifi connection.

    This is the old man hill I will die on.

      I’m all in favor of smart appliances… as long as they don’t connect to the Internet. Give me a local HomeAssistant integration. That way, I can check what’s in my refrigerator from my bed without worrying about it showing me ads.

      I paid around $200 extra for a washer/dryer that did not have built in malware and internet access.

      Yeah, the same applies to wives. She just needs to be hot, make dinners and swallow rather than spitting out. That’s as smart as I want.
