MoriaCat 💻I don't understand why today everything has to be smart and connected? Smart termometr, kettle, rice cooker, garage doors, pet tracker...
jsrn@MoriaCat Well what, am I supposed to turn on my own kettle now? What is this, the dark ages?
@jsrn good point
katebuckjr 💬@MoriaCat agreed. I don't mind a dumb thermostat. why people gotta discriminate?
Carlos A. Escobar@MoriaCat For me is fun open/close things from my phone
@carlosjs23 I know it's fun and nice to have all in one device you carry all day. But some things with "smart" part are just plain dumb. Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/AIMOX-Stainless-Smartphone-Temperature-Teakettles/dp/B01EJGOGT6
Frankie Saxx@MoriaCat a fellow internetofshit follower? Haha the garage door thing though.
@frankiesaxx I do like idea of IoT, but making everything with it is kinda dumb for me security and usability wise

Because if they're not smart we feel dumb when we can't use them properly. Now we have an excuse.

cc@MoriaCat Capitalism, that's why. Have to keep producing and selling things to keep the economy moving. Also, it's not really a new thing. Remember in the 80s/90s when clocks and radios were being added to everything? I bet every device you own has a clock in it.
