If i need wifi, bluetooth, or an app to use a product that shouldn’t need it (eg a toaster, toothbrush) i will not buy it. i also won’t buy a wireless device (say a bluetooth speaker) if it requires an app. I would be willing to pay $500 more to have a tv with no smart features than a ‘smart’ tv. corporations: keep your shitty malware. my phone is a temple.

I would agree with you, but I still want to own a microwave. There are none with reasonable UI behavior as far as I can tell.

(Edit) For example: Opening the door a few seconds early always leaves time on the display which should just automatically clear after a minute or two. Obviously if the user doesn't use that leftover time immediately then they aren't going to.

My new corollary: If your online e-commerce site asks customers to add a tip, even if $0 / no tip is an option, I'm not buying shit from you.
