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
I can't believe this is true. Show pictures and link to the vendor. I wanna see this for myself.
Use an old phone with no user accounts in it.
