The important question is what happens if I don't connect it to Wi-Fi? Does the compressor motor refuse to work??

  That is important because as a buyer, I need to be able to tell the difference between the legitimate unacceptable extant user experiences vs. the FUD about things that are trivially avoidable but still get forwarded and reposted with exaggeration and hysteria. I can't always avoid the latter category on principle.

  I assume the "smart features" will refuse to work. We need a law that requires IoT devices have a method of shutting off connectivity entirely, and requiring that core functionality remains intact.

    let’s start with cars. I’ve accepted that I’ll never buy a new car again which is a real shame as EVs have a ton of potential. I’d be so happy to be wrong but the trend seems to be inescapable right now.

      Yep, if I bought a car today I would want to check that it has no onboard GPS and no functional modem.
