    You would be surprised, and then very worried, to find out what things needlessly have bluetooth

    I saw a guy detail how to hack a house through a fridge.

      I get unreasonably angry at salespeople when they brag about Bluetooth and wifi on appliances.

      I know I shouldn’t. But wtf do you want your toaster to have internet access?

        because idiots with more money than sense think its “neat” to pay an extra hundred dollars to be told their toaster is done toasting while they are in the other room, instead of listening for the loud ass KERSHINKLUNK

        I like my toast on a schedule and one day when they invent the robot that moves the bread from the pantry and into the toaster I’ll have my dream. One Bluetooth device at a time.

        I mean I really like getting push notifications when the dishwasher or laundry is done, or the kids leave the fridge door slightly open…but a toaster is a bit excessive. I’m thinking about turning off notifications on my microwave as it is.
