- aunty_helen 11mo agoYou don’t even need a whiteboard, just write directly on the fridge.
- squigz 11mo agoThat would require I remember to do that, too ;) I was only commenting on the usefulness of such features, not on whether companies would also abuse that access for more data; that is an issue, but a separate one.
- scuff3d 11mo agoI'm saying they aren't useful or needed. They're solutions inventing problems to solve to justify higher prices, subscription models, and data collection. I'm a software engineer. I like technology. But there is absolutely no reason for a fridge or a washing machine to be "smart". I just makes them worse, not better.
- squigz 11mo agoUsefulness is relative to each user. I'm a software engineer who likes technology too. I think such things would be useful. I guess I'm just objectively wrong? And like... food going bad is a problem that actually exists, so I'm not sure what you mean by "inventing problems"
