The video is missing that in cowboy coffee you should add coffee untill a horse shoe floats (but seriously, he's pouring it all down the drain??).

He's not pouring the coffee down the drain. He was demonstrating that adding cold water to the top forced the grounds to the bottom.

In the 1970's I had a smart toaster that would pop the bread up to let me know it was finished with it's toasting task. /s

I have a toaster that is smart enough to perfectly toast any bread you can fit into it, regardless of density, thickness or even if it's frozen, and it's from the 1950s.

Yes, that one.

Coffee machines have had programmable auto-start at X time for decades at this point, no app or internet required, just a digital clock and simple, dumb electronics.

We're still talking about marginal, unnecessary things, but with a "smart" coffee pot, you could in theory start the pot when you're a few minutes away from home, if you like some after work. A pot connected to something like home assistant (which I have no idea if it exists) can brew the pot only on your workdays, or you can start it after you leave the bedroom, regardless of time. You could probably do quite a few "neat" things.

Going to be? The vast majority of appliances are still sold without this nonsense.

Yes. It is a guess. I'm using TVs and kitchen appliances as a basis for that guess.

Which, shame on me, I should go look for data on this. Someone has to have some statistics on it.
