Don’t buy “smart” cloud-connected appliances, ever. Even if they don’t start trying to charge for shit like this, eventually the service will go offline breaking the product. (should we call this forced obselescence, somewhat different from planned obsolescence?)
We need more buyer demand for “dumb” appliances. Vote with your wallet.
I like it. I’m going to start calling it that now. Why are we tiptoing around their corporate feelings? They forcing these things to become obsolete in contravention of what is best for the consumer.
It’s 2024 and you need a subscription to make water hot.

Lol fuck, they’re disabling Bluetooth too?
The most bastardly thing they could do, right? The explanation is that processing costs money, so wifi via cloud only bullshit is getting expensive. Also, we’re disabling the only other viable alternative, effectively bricking all remote features intentionally. Why? Fuck you, that’s why.
I used to sous vide all the things but after seeing the report on microplastics in sous vide food…
Yea, good luck with this plan
There’s microplastics in everything lol, you ain’t escaping them
