Any smart product that uses non-LAN comms is nonsense. They all use remote management. We could have had a better world.

Jesus fuck...sous vide is one of the simplest things ever. The only things you need are an on/off switch and to be able to set the temperature. As cooking goes, it’s about the least time-sensitive thing I know...I’ve let filets mignon go an extra hour without harm.

Galaxy brain: they should put servers in their sous-vide machines and use them as the heat source to heat the water.

Why would you want an internet-connected sous vide machine

I wonder why those companies don't seem to realize that server infrastructure costs money. Now they have enough computing power and storage in each device that they can't use and need a server farm to not brick it.

Most of these companies don’t have a viable business model without continued funding, lots of them are going to charge and then go bust. So remember that when you buy your internet connected product.

I cannot stress this enough. My short story Unauthorized Bread - in which smart appliances are a slippery slope to full oligarchic dystopia is not intended as a fucking suggestion. arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/… 1/

The article alleges 2,000 active users. Even with 10,000 active, can't a regular computer in someone's house power that?

I bought a sous vide wand for $30 that keeps me connected via a big number displayed on the top. Was that the wrong call? This thing looks amazing
