You’re not alone! I had to go with the monoprice Sous Vide cooker, since it was the only one that could be operated without a smart phone.
It was also cheaper, which is nice.
- craftyguy 8y agoI just ended up building a sous vide cooker with a dumb thermostat, heating element, water pump, and waterproof container. Cheap, and won't be subjected to the 'security' whims of any Internet of Trash manufacturers.
- jmulho 8y agoThat was a good choice. There is a nasty worm going around that will turn your water up from 55 degrees Celsius to 56 for 15 minutes ruining any chance of perfect 48 hour short ribs. It hit a lot of Michelin star restaurants in Iran really hard back in 2010.
- ardy42 8y agoYou jest, but sillier things have been exploited to mine bitcoin or conduct DDOS attacks before.
- village-idiot 8y agoI’m more interested in having my Sous Vide cooker continuing to work after the company goes under or Google buys them and cancels support.
- dstick 8y agoPretty sure it was a lettuce centrifuge.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoI wonder when lobotomizing "smart" hardware will become an established practice? That is, opening it up, cutting out the IoT chips, and replacing them with an off-line interface? Just like in the past, we used to convert PlayStations (to run pirate disks), remove SIM locks, and now we jailbreak our phones, I wonder when we'll start lobotomizing our fridges and desk lamps. (Also, I consider to have just coined the term in this context, unless prior use is demonstrated.)
- youdontknowtho 8y agoyour jailbroken iPhone is easier to break into, BTW. baseband processor, firmware, all of that is still there and exploitable by the carrier or authorities.
- nineteen999 8y agoThat's why I'm sticking with my old Honeywell 316. No bluetooth or USB on that baby.
