Yeah I’m ok not having my coffee made by something “smart” that depends on AWS. There’s a trend of making everything aware. But in my experience, it’s often implemented poorly, with terrible UI, and insecurely. Just look at the absolute trash they call “infotainment” in some cars. You buy a new car and feel like the infotainment is from 2006. The Internet of Crappy Things is real. There are notable exceptions, but too often “smart” is just a junky screen that send back information on me to monetize me. Do I care if some marketing company knows how many cups of coffee I drink? Maybe not, but maybe a health insurance risk database does. And I bet there are nearly zero controls over that harvested data being kept by the SmartBrew2.0
