Agreed, the only functionality that should be active if it's connected to the internet is sending an alert of a failure. Sadly, no company that has a way to serve you ads will choose not to use it... 😮‍💨

    Consumers had all the power... that is, until they started voting with their wallet by buying appliances that could connect to the internet (or that had a screen installed on them).

    Once manufacturs saw that their bs was selling, we'd lost the battle.
