Were I making the purchasing decision, wifi wouldn't factor in. If the fridge that turns out to be the best option happened to have wifi, then I'd trust myself to work out how to jail it, whether hardware "off"-ing it as per this guy, or blackholing it's connection, or just not connecting it at all (with the knowledge that some devices are rumoured to connect to any accessible open wifi).

- BLKNSLVR 4y agoIs it legal to use a jammer on appliances that you've purchased? Just need to know where one can purchase said cellular jammer...
- tpxl 4y agoIt's generally going to be easier to disable the signal circuits on the appliances than to jam them. Either wrap them in foil, disconnect the circuits, or wait for some brave soul to figure out what to break for it to stop working. That being said, jamming is relatively easy, just saturate the channel you want to jam with noise. That will also probably kill your cellular connection though.
- kergonath 4y agoYMMV, but around here jammers are illegal, full stop. I suppose one could put their appliances in a faraday cage or wrap them in tin foil…
