The only thing more Silicon Valley was buying it

Is there anything more over-the-top Silicon Valley than being late to make Mother’s Day dinner because a wireless meat thermometer requires a mandatory over-the-air update before it starts working?

They work really really well though. So far everything I've cooked with ours has come out perfect.

One day we’ll figure out that marketing something that’s literally never needed any wires as “wireless” is not a selling point. “Wireless thermometer!” “Wireless hat” “Wireless dog food bowl”

Or just learn how to cook

A normal thermometer is good enough and works flawlessly. It doesn't need batteries, doesn't have electronics, doesn't need updates, and just works. Why would you replace it with something that gives away all of this?

Kind of impressed you can have a bluetooth chip that operates at oven temperatures though

@callmevlad ...you are mistaken, he did not "buy it", He purchased a licience, that needs updates & a future subscription
