I agree with you wholeheartedly, an exception for me would be a smart thermostat I think - but that's largely it.
I don't want an internet of things, I just want my things to work better, last longer and cost less money.

It used to be that you could spend more and get a more durable good but those days seem to have gone and other than aesthetics there doesn't seem to be the correlation between price and durability there was, I've had two £40 quid kettles fail in under a year a piece and the £6 quid one I got as a stopgap is still going 3 years later.
