You're joking, but my fridge did hand me a GDPR notice in the morning: https://twitter.com/varjag/status/998496423019778048 https://twitter.com/varjag/status/9

  Wow. That's the funniest thing I've seen this week. Beats the schadenfreude I'm having with some of the IoT lightbulbs no longer working for EU customers - a problem which actually impacted a friend of mine. See: https://twitter.com/internetofshit/status/999619364541394944 https://twitter.com/internetofshit/status/999619364541394944. EDIT: 2 friends now. I wonder how many more bought those lightbulbs...

    Anyone who bought these lightbulbs should return them to the retailer for a full refund.

      That'd be an entertaining help desk conversation. "No the product is still functional, but my country made it too much of a hassle for them to operate in my region"

      The yeelights are typically bought on eg Aliexpress. I have mine with the local network developer functionality enabled, here's to hoping they will still work with that at least.

  Funniest thing I saw this year. Brave new world.

  That's fairly incredible. A friend bought a Samsung smart TV, but after reading the EULA (which of course they spring on you after powering it on rather than to inform you at the point-of-sale) decided to forego the smarts in the TV. Those things track just about everything, your fridge apparently is still relatively mellow. Did it open without you clicking 'ok'?
  • varjag 8y ago
    Yeah, I think it was pertaining the Samsung network account only. For secondary features like calendar sync, app control etc.
    • jacquesm 8y ago
      I meant the fridge ;)

        Sure enough! But we don't discuss important things in the kitchen from now on.
