Reply to comment by squarepeg0000 in Appliance makers sad that 50% of customers won’t connect smart appliances by HushedShadow

To be fair I wouldn’t mind being able to remotely turn it off if I left it on. Literally the only use case.

Specifically a stove.

Thanks for clarifying. The comments above you mentioned a smart fridge so I was confused why someone would want to turn off their fridge.

Yes, but the comment you had replied to was talking about a smart fridge, so when you said the thing about being able to turn "it" off, it sounded like you meant the fridge.

I see you replied to your comment saying you meant stove specifically.

You can edit comments, btw, if you're on reddit's official app, click the 3 dots under your comment and it brings up options to choose from, one is to edit the comment. If you're on reddit is fun, click your comment, and it makes the up/downvote buttons and 3 dots pop up, hit those three dots, and again, a box opens with choices, and one is, of course, edit.

No. This is the comment I replied to.

“I don't have any smart appliances...but if I did, I wouldn't connect them either. I'm smart enough to operate appliances manually.”

You all think I replied to this one.

“I remember reading a story on legal advice who bought a "smart fridge" that had a screen on the fridge doors.

But the screen kept displaying all these unwanted pop-up ads anytime he tried to get his fridge to do fridge stuff.

Why does a smart fridge need to exist? Why does a fridge need a screen/monitor or to connect to the internet?

All I need is a basic fridge that keeps my food cold.”

Congrats all for the unnecessary downvotes. Follow the thread next time.

Christ, dude, you're unnecessarily rude to people. I was just trying to be nice. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pointing out something that I didn’t actually do would be considered more rude than for me to sit here and accept people passively calling me stupid for something I didn’t actually do.

I never called, nor implied, you, or anyone else stupid, and the person who originally replied to you also didn't call you stupid or imply it.

I don't even know how you could infer that was even happening!

I had particular people in mind when voting for the legalization of weed.

You don't need a smart device for that. You just put a heat sensor there that turns off the stove if the pan gets too hot. They've had them for decades in Asia.
