    I only buy cheap shit. And I never, ever, ever ever ever connect anything to the net that doesn’t absolutely need to be connected.

    If I need an air fryer and the cheap one has smart shit on it. I will never connect that shit to the net. Never. Why the fuck would I? It’s an air fryer. Not a laptop.

      I completely agree. If it’s a household appliance, it better not fucking connect to the internet.

      I just recently started getting into smart home products such as smart plugs and stuff and I absolutely make certain that they don’t have internet connection and use home assistant to keep the data local.

      I will only use Zigbee or Z-Wave devices so that there’s no way they can connect to the internet.
