When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:

- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device

So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.

@hamatti Why the hell would I need a toothbrush to talk to my cell phone? It makes zero sense to me. I know when I did and didn't brush my teeth. I don't need a data-mining app on my phone recording it.

@EdCates While you remember, others don't, because of depression, ADHD, ...
Just buy a non-"smart" one.

@wonka @EdCates @hamatti See the part of the comment that points out that the "smart" devices drive the non-smart ones out of the market.

After a few years, either the only ones available are non-smart, or the only non-smart ones available are luxury goods priced accordingly.
