    To that I say, why in the hell would you buy a smart fridge in the first place? That’s on you for buying something that stupid.

      it will become like many appliances… You want a dumb tv? Possible, but it will cost you more than a smart one. You want a dumb fridge? Fine, but soon it will cost you more than a ‘smart’ one you can’t even turn on without making an account somewhere and registering your email and phone

        My dad owned a bunch of jeeps from the 90’s to 2005 ish. I never understood how anyone could buy more than one of these pieces of shit.

          I have a friend who swears by them. Buys one after another of those heaps of junk. I always ask her “how’s your Heep?”

          Because in the 80s they were unstoppable monsters of travel (well late 70s too, I’m talking about the CJ7 here)

              The Lego of the automotive world, incredibly reliable, fantastic for off-roading, the chassis and shocks placement is what kicked off custom shocks as a thing, etc.

              It was the Jeep (that wasn’t a military design) that defined the brand. Which Jeep spent all its time after just ruining.

              The steering was definitely very responsive for its time, though I’d personally call it a plus. Especially when it came to offroading, it was a huge benefit to get over hazards.

                Once you replaced the Lil Tikes suspension with actual suspension. Factory setups were always fake off road.

      Then connect to the internet? But I think saw on YouTube that they can brick your fridge if you do anything to stop getting ads.
