More like “Enshitify app”, amirite?

But then how will you download the latest pulse patterns? You could be missing out on a more optimal brushing experience.

Reminds me of my Dyson fan. When I put it away for the season the battery inside the remote leaked and the remote is dead now. So I download the Dyson remote control app. There’s only an on button on the fan itself, so in order to sync my phone to the fan i need the original remote to navigate the settings and go to “sync”

So my dead remote is required to activate any other remote

You jest, but smart toilets actually are a thing now... Though from what I can tell, they use remotes instead of apps. So no wifi or subscriptions, but you better not break that remote.

I used to be a gadgetwhore, now im recruiting for the butlerian jihad, and my values around this have not changed at all.

It doesn't need it, it works totally fine without it.

(Also, FWIW, the toothbrush itself connects via Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi)

I think most of those toothbrushes use Bluetooth if you want to track your brush stats or something with like home assistant, mine came with that and I totally forgot until my home assistant pinged me one day to add the device, I got that toothbrush in like 2017 on some sale and I wanted an electric tooth brush

I love technology and gadgets!

Got this Cuckoo clock, and it never asks me to sign in.

I have a compass gadget in my car - never have to sign in

My propane camp stove - fun fact, no sign in!

I have a #2 pencil - I sign in with it regularly …

I own dozens of screws - brilliant tech helps me keep it all together, no sign in though

We've been doing great tech since the OG 'Fire'. I'm beginning to think what we call the 'tech' industry has a very limited understanding of what tech actually is.

I have one that is smart, and you are spot on. It was nice to use in the beginning to get an idea of what pressure is recommended and time spent on each section. But I have uninstalled and been running app free for several years now - with zero issues.

This seemed a little clickbait-y

It's the experience of a toothbrush collecting data about your daily routines to sell for profit.

You can use the Oral B with some electric brushes to see where you have brushed and where you haven't to help you with not missing anything.

So, class war or butlerian jihad? Pick at least one.

Mourn for this man, not for his choices but for his lack of them; a store selling expired milk should be put out of business by the authorities, not by a mob of post-poisoned shoppers.

But any man's toothbrush logout diminishes me

Because I am involved in brushing my teeth

Yeah. Everything in tour homr with radio needs to be microwaved. Butlerian jihad now.

I am enjoying saying "Log back in to continue your Oral B brushing experience" in my best "customer-service/salesperson ad lady" voice. Like the kind of tone that's so soullessly saccharine that it gives AI vibes

Hey everybody! Get a look at Money Bags over here being able to afford to go to the dentist!

(kidding, low key jealous... please marry me so I can have benefits/health coverage)

Does it come with a "feminine stimulation" accessory?

I have two of these i bought for $30 each

I use a website that has auctions near me that sell Amazon abandoned packages. I find these often

i use only the oralb 1000, its good enough, no need to spend over 100-200 for a toothbrush.

No reason to even use electricity. A damp cloth and some baking soda works just as well!
