Happy with my ad-free dumb fridge.
Let me know when the smart fridge can track when I'm low on essentials and toggle them unchecked on my shopping list, WITHOUT phoning home, and with no fucking ads. Don't need a screen either.
Nope. Don't want a fridge to track what I eat. Don't want anything to track my data unwanted, just give me a fridge which cools and has a working door. No fancy features, just basic functionality and silent. No smart dishwasher, oven, microwave, washing machine, tooth brush, bed, watch, home hub, locks, lights, etc. I want a smart phone and a smart girlfriend.
If the data is offline, then it only serves you without selling you out. I know it's unrealistic; why would any corporation make something that benefits consumers and not themselves?!
