   @hamatti if these appliances were really smart, they'd know to shut up

     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.
