I don't want it. I don't want my refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, car, garage door opener, washing machine, thermostat, lighting etc., etc., etc., going online for any reason whatsoever.
And if that means that I'm condemning myself to a world of second-hand and refurbished stuff, so fucking be it.
That is all.

/T/w/o/ four things:
1. Anything online can be hacked; washing machines should not in any sane universe be transmitting spam or sending personal info to Vanuatu.
2. Also, the first thing "wired" appliances will do is visit porn sites.
3. Everything malfunctions sometimes. Imagine the repair bills!
4. Every advance in putting things online strips out another level of security.
In other words, you are not alone.
I'm with you on this. I don't need the government controlling my thermostat, and I'm willing to get out of the car and open the garage door.

Just one more thing to break.
If I'm stupid enough to leave the door open I deserve to go back.
I'm still smarter than my thermostat. I know when I'm hot or cold.
Now if I could do with needing an electric meter (and the electric)
I'd be good.
Eck!
