That is what I thought (and still do, for the most part), but being at the grocery store and starting the oven preheat is pretty nice.

The number of appliances that have an app is fucking insane. I’m sorry, but I don’t need my oven to have internet connectivity. We got by just fine before.

Would be super cool if privacy mattered to these companies.

Honest question though: what of real value can a company gain by knowing that I turned my oven to 350, or that I switched my air conditioning on? Assuming app permissions match what’s needed and I’m not giving up my contacts or whatever. Or is that a more common issue than I realize?

What time you usually cook, so the best time to show you other advertisements, or if you’re in the store once super targeted customer by customer pricing gets implemented (it’s already in place in many locations) then the price raises just for you since you turned your oven on (or will turn your oven on in a few minutes).
