We're shopping for a new oven and one of my key criteria is "can it be connected to wifi?"
Any oven for which the answer is "yes", even if it's optional, is immediately crossed off the shortlist.

An honorable mention here to Fellow, whose ”Aiden Precision Coffee Maker” is about as good as this bed.
It’s supposed to simulate pour-over brewing. Uses urn filters, which are not standard for consumers (in Sweden at least which was one of their first non-US markets). Charge hefty overprice for their own urn filters.
But the biggest issue is that the thermos pot couldn’t keep the coffee warm even in hell, and that brewing a full pot ends up with grounds in the pot.
These "high shit" products almost exclusively come from the US. They are over-engineered solutions looking for a problem, and often really badly designed by someone who fancies himself (it's almost always a he, too) the new Jony Ive of beds or coffee makers, but in reality mostly sniffs his own farts.
You can often quickly identify them by their lack of knowledge how things work outside the US. Nobody in the EU calls a 180 cm wide bed an “EU super king”.
One of my specializations back in the day was the smart home and internet of (consumer) things.
It quickly turned into seeing it as internet of shit.
And it's going strong, like this "AI controlled bed" that will cost you between €3000 and €5500 - and then you need a subscription for the app, starting at €199 per year: https://www.eightsleep.com
Without the app, you overpaid about €2500 for shit you won't be able to use. The first model didn't have physical controls either!
@Happyfishmedia today in #InternetOfShit:
Without smart devices, my count would be comparable. No time to find and count.
Just when you thought #internetofshit was last decade's thing:

@ChrisPirillo I remember when some #TechYoutuber showcased one.
- And this thing was unnecessarily slow" because OFC it's an @internetofshit device with #Servers and #Apps and not like a simple Device with #Ethernet and some smol #Webserver one can just type a message into a form or god forbid use #curl to update it locally on the #LAN...
we are living in a cursed timeline when AI toilet startup raises millions of dollars
Local tabloid runs a headline "Airfryers have a hidden risk".
Ooh, really scary. I was like, oh no, I love my #airfryer, what's this all about then?
...it's about "smart" airfryers getting hijacked.
Hah! Lucky I was not stupid enough to buy a pointlessly internet-connected airfryer.
Yeah, #internetofthings is really depressing, isn't it? Don't buy smart appliances if you can possibly avoid them, people. These are long term investments. These companies won't give you any guarantees these appliances work properly in a year. Or out of the box, for that matter.

Wann sind Leute da, deren Routine,
wie gut sind diese finanziell gestellt (höherer Grundverbrauch = ältere Geräte = weniger Geld, höherer Spitzenverbrsuch = mehr Geräte = mehr Geld.
Sind die Leute in Urlaub oder auf Arbeit?
Halt alles was #Einbrecher und #Spione für nen Bruch wissen wollen - und das ohne sich wo "auffällig unauffällig" zur Observation hinzubegeben...
- Stattdessen als schön per #API massenhaft abgreifbare Daten (bei "#Datenleck" / #Hack der Versorgers bzw. Hersteller) die dann wahrscheinlich noch nach Addresse filterbar ist.
Organisierte #Einbrecherbanden können damit quasi jeden Tag nen anderen Bruch mit minimalem Risiko vorausplanen!
- Und jetzt stell' dir die #Datensammlung in den Händen eines #cyberfaschistisch|en #Überwachungsstaates vor: Extrem effiziente #Massenüberwachung mit #Oracle & #Palantir-#Govware erlaubt dann der #Polizei #Oppositionelle und #Dissidenten sowie deren Treffpunkte und -Orte noch einfacher zu identifizieren ohne #Tracker unters Auto oder #Beschattung!
Und das sind nur die Szenarien welche mir in 5 Minuten eingefallen sind.
- Und wie wir bei #VW gesehen haben kann mit #InternetOfShit-Daten dieser Größenordnung superviel gemacht werden.
Von #Einbrüchen über #Erpressung bis hin zu #Abrechnungsbetrug geht da quasi alles.
Dear Google - kindly and sincerely, get fucked. In 2013 we built a new house and installed Nest thermostats in each of the 3 HVAC zones because we wanted the house to be energy efficient. A year ago, one of the thermostats got bumped so I replaced it. The same model wasn't available so I took what I could get. This thermostat has a serious bug - when heating, about once a month it would call for heat and never shut it off. There have been no firmware updates and none scheduled. Recently you announced that these thermostats are no longer supported by the Nest app. You "generously" offered discounts on current models. Yeah...no. I got three refurbished ecobee thermostats for less than 2 of your replacements.
Isn't your mantra supposed to be "don't be evil?"
Clearly that ship has sailed. #internetOfShit #enshittification #google
I wasn't planning to "Start crazy expedition" when upgrading some #firmware....

Kurwa co xD

All the wireless headsets which used to say "noise cancelling" now say "AI noise cancelling".
