Pro tip: don't buy a fucking BBQ that connects to the Internet.
No appliances in general while we're at it
Seriously. "Start it a day early" My brother in Christ why does your grill need wifi? Do you get updates when the steak is ready? Can it flip your burger?!
Have tons of devices that can connect to the Internet. Apparently I'm the only one here resourceful enough to not connect them
I rip the wifi card out and if that's not available all things can be solved with the proper application of an angle grinder.
Careful, the last person with a modicum of common fucking sense almost got flamethrowered by Beef Supreme.
"Hey, I just thought of something crazy, maybe DON'T kick yourself in the balls?"

I'd rather not reward manufacturers that include that just to raise the price and track and sell your data with my money.
I think you missed the bus.
Cool cool, you do you homie
If you didn't connect the device to the internet... Then... There is no "data"
This isn't a difficult concept. The device didn't ship with your WiFi broadcast ID and password preset in the firmware. Are you saying that the product has a sim card that will just relay info back regardless of whether or not you connect it? And the manufacturer is cool just paying for this connection? What "data"???
Yet again, don't willingly and intentionally connect it to anything that has access to the internet. JFC, is it really that abstract of a concept that confounds all others? I don't think I needed to be told this. It's the very definition of self-evident.
What the absolute fuck is happening? Did everyone eat brain tumors for breakfast?
Whether it actually happened or not, that was their intent. If you're happy to reward that behavior, well, "you do you."
