▲ 424 ▼ New oven and they lock the air fryer functionality behind wifi.

We are renovating our house including all new appliances. I have told my partner to make sure we get non smart appliances. This is why. Yes I can setup a VLAN for it to be on but that's not the point.
[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago* Another way to say this is that a hacker needs only access to your private network to gain control of all connected devices. IMO this is hardly worth it when the benefits are I can check my oven remotely or I can check what the vacuum is doing. I tend to not buy connected devices if it can be avoided. permalink fedilink source parent
