    Yeah, that part is super fucked up. I have IoT in my ceiling fans. I had to call their support line to have them remotely turn off the beeping that accompanies a button press.

    The feature can’t be deactivated locally. I literally had to have my ceiling fan join my Wi-Fi network so that support could remote in and disable a beep that no one could possibly want.

    Oh yeah, my oven has Wi-Fi. What possible reason could there be for my oven to have network access? It’s beyond ridiculous.

      Crazy how we’re basically losing the right to personal property under late stage capitalism.
