      I recently did a kitchen remodel, and I decided I wanted one of those cabinet microwaves, so I got one, and I found out that it has functions that are locked behind a Wi-Fi connection.

      This fucking thing was $1400 brand new for a fucking microwave.

      Of course, I didn’t pay that, I bought it second-hand, brand-spanking new, at my local restore, but it was still $600, and it’s fucking ridiculous.

      There’s literally nothing that I need from a microwave that needs to be done through my phone or on the internet.

      Needless to say, it will never be paired to the internet, but the fact that manufacturers shove this stupid shit into our appliances is fucking stupid.
