Macro wave, they put a fucking cavity magnetron inside a toaster oven? Or I guess you could also say they put a ceramic heating element inside a microwave? Ok so, consolidating counter top appliances is not the worst thing, I like my pressure cooker/crook pot and all that.
But WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE SMART!? Why would I want to control it from my phone? I’m going to have to go to it to put the food in to it anyways? So why would controlling it remotely be useful? Also, please, I’m so tired of the AI branding hype cycle and the manufactured consent around it.

I got one a decade ago. The steam from microwaving caused corrosion in the top heater element, so it shorted and I had to buy a new one

Want to bet this “smart one” has the same such issue? That they’ve done nothing but take an existing flawed idea and dressed it up with buzz words?

I worry about when I'll have to replace my robot vacuum.... The need for mine to be controlled through the internet exclusively was already a big worry for me, and now they're adding cameras and microphones to them as well...

maybe your vacuum works with valetudo? it's a self-hosted cloud replacement for many vacuums https://valetudo.cloud

It doesn't

Why does it have to be a video? I can read an article so much faster, and without needing to be somewhere by myself that sound isn't bothering anyone.
Good call, article link https://www.ifixit.com/News/88815/the-worst-in-show-2024-losers-are-in
I have also added it to the post.
Thank you for adding the link to the article!
Awesome, thank you!
It is true. Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks for saying what I was screaming.
