disabled wifi on the new samsung fridge (just unplugged this guy, lucky guess). can’t figure out the stove cuz there’s no access panel that i can see on the back of the stove. i fucking hate living in the future
@swaggboi why does it even have an internet connection??
Aren’t there still fridges and stoves without that dumbness?
@Byte i can’t fathom why 😅
these appliances came with the new place so i’ll be stuck with these i imagine for some time; as an added bonus i think there’s still covid related shortages too.
also we have a dishwasher that is samsung but no wifi. why fridge and stove can slide in the DMs but not dishwasher?? 😭
@swaggboi very cool lucky hack!
wished i had this luck with my black box solar panel inverter. 🥺🤣
@swaggboi “smart oven” was the worst case future horror story people were telling a few years ago and apparently companies thought it was an instruction
Did ya hear the one about the sneakers that got bricked by a firmware update? True story…
@pseudonym @swaggboi Regarding TVs, I went with a projector. Love the aesthetic! Its like being at a cinema!
Plus its got that benefit of only showing the images I send it through a VGA cable from my computer! No Internet required!
@pseudonym @swaggboi Indeed, “dumb” devices can be the smartest devices! If I want to use a zigbee plug controller to turn on or off a dehumidifier, the dehumidifier had better not need me to poke an “on” button every time it’s connected to power.
As to more complexity, sure, but give me an interface I can customise. I want a doc
