You're the idiot who brags about your Amazon echo and yet you're complaining about THIS? You really don't begin to self-comprehend your constantly whined ignorance, do you? You're an apologist for genocide, but THIS, this you whine about!
What a non-life you must have, complaining and pretending to have a job as if they were valid occupations lol.

I do not worry about this. I already turned down a wifi-enabled dishwasher. ("You can start it from your phone! " "I, and how many hackers?")
You see, chips are not free. Appliances comes in a spectrum: From dirt cheap, to sturdy quality. Those going for "cheap" will get the non-Internet devices, because manufacturers underbidding each other can shave off some cost by not having that wifi chipset. A toaster is so simple a device, so this will make a difference on the price tag. (Or on the corporate prof

You must be single. No Mrs. AC in the modern world would let you rip into their shiny new dishwasher to futz with the electronics.
