My clothes dryer has this stupid touch screen interface and keeps reminding me that it can be controlled by an app.
I'm all: "So? I Don't want my phone colluding with the dryer and the garage door opener to overthrow me."
- jmward01 1y agoDon't be ridiculous. They won't collude against you. They clearly will have a turf war instead with each claiming that the TOS you signed by opening the packaging (the TOS being, of course, on the inside of said packaging) gives them exclusive rights to your entire being.
- sandworm101 1y agoWe have a shredder at work with a touchscreen. It is a shedder, basically just a motor and some rotating blades. But every time i use it i have to wait 30 seconds for the touchscreen to wake up. Totally useless.
- lolinder 1y agoI'm old enough to remember when shredders would just turn on when you inserted paper into them. No interface needed, touch or otherwise.
- guappa 1y agoHow did you change the shredding settings though?
- blitzar 1y agoThe shredder needs to scan the document on its way through and send the contents back to the cloud for processing*, only then can the algorithm correctly detect the correct shredding settings. * Information is retained for up to 100 years to improve customer experience.
- sandworm101 1y agoAh, the famous "unshred" function for recovering destroyed documents.

- dan00 1y agoThe dryer could tell the garage door to open, to reduce humidity.
