    You would be surprised, and then very worried, to find out what things needlessly have bluetooth

    I saw a guy detail how to hack a house through a fridge.

      I get unreasonably angry at salespeople when they brag about Bluetooth and wifi on appliances.

      I know I shouldn’t. But wtf do you want your toaster to have internet access?

        I mean I really like getting push notifications when the dishwasher or laundry is done, or the kids leave the fridge door slightly open…but a toaster is a bit excessive. I’m thinking about turning off notifications on my microwave as it is.

        I like my toast on a schedule and one day when they invent the robot that moves the bread from the pantry and into the toaster I’ll have my dream. One Bluetooth device at a time.
