I don't either, honestly. But my partner is a Cortado fangirl so I'm learning to make it as best I can. Luckily I really like the smell, and I can steam a nice Chain Latte for myself on it.

I have an old fridge (oldish, maybe 2005-2010 era) and I fear for the day it dies. We were preemptively fridge shopping and holy shit they're all smart integrated spying machines. For keeping your food cold. Jesus fucking christ.

Oh, I can tell this community is gonna be funny as hell to look through if this is the first thing I see.

how nice of you

The Keurig is sending a hardware survey of all the devices it can see on your LAN to Google, continuous location data of their position triangulated from your Wifi to Google too, downloading the updates for an entire ChatGPT model running locally on it that acts as its UI, it's analyzing the fingerprints on its touchscreen and sending it to an FBI database and 141 different data brokers so they can recreate the finger and get past your biometric security, and it's streaming 24/7 HD video / audio footage of its surroundings and uploading to the dark web, Welcome to the Game 2-style. It needs to do this.

You misunderstand, I don't think you are extreme at all. It's absolute bullshit that they want to spy on you to sell you more stuff. Appliances don't need internet.
