me: I don't want to think about computers or open source. I'm going to go shop for a dishwasher the dishwasher company: here is a 266-page PDF with a list of software packages and a printout of the GPL

I just paid double what I wanted to compared to normal brands (samsung, kitchenaid, etc) for an induction range _without_ wifi and all that crap. I'm very happy about the choice.

Oh no I'm about to buy an induction cooktop and the one I was most interested in from a feature/price perspective also has wifi even tho I would rather it didn't, will I regret this?

Maybe? I picked up a Fisher & Paykel and am very happy with it. No complaints. But it's only been a few months. Time will tell if it's a lemon. Induction rules if this is your first.
