that slow cooker costs nearly four times as much as a regular slow cooker of the same size http://www.crock-pot.com/slow-cookers/classic-slow-cookers/SCV603-R.html#prefn1=size&prefv1=6+Quart&start=1 the whole point of a slow cooker is that you turn it on and do nothing why am i even typing any of this poo poo. the stupidity of this is self-evident

infernal machines posted:iot.jpg remember when people thought smart appliances were gonna do poo poo like notice you're almost out of milk and automatically buy more except no one ever did because that takes actual competence and effort, and it's way easier to shove a wifi card in someone's fridge and have it report the current temperature setting to a simple web interface and a vc will still give you tens of millions of dollars for it

it's probably better that still hasn't happened. even ignoring the security implications of your web-enabled fridge having your credit card number, there are so many ways the system could fail hilariously due to sloppy coding and leave you with a pallet of 2% and a $2k grocery bill because a sensor errored out look at how well your average consumer facing integrated system works and ask, do i want this to be able to autonomously make purchases on my behalf?

Presumably instead of just ordering food immediately, the fridge could create a shopping list and display it on the door for you to approve

infernal machines posted:the iot pitch has been like every other popular science magazine cover idea. yeah. the original idea of internet of things wasn't really practical or desirable but the original idea was at least to make things that were somehow useful, while now the entire internet of things ecosystem is composed entirely of garbage because everyone wants that sweet buzzword money from vcs but no one can think of anything actually useful to make

Sagebrush posted:Presumably instead of just ordering food immediately, the fridge could create a shopping list and display it on the door for you to approve sure, it could, but this isn't what was touted all of this stuff "works" conceptually, but implementing it in practice involves making so many concessions like that, that the end result isn't anything like the platform that was pitched. manually reviewing the list created by your fridge and approving ordering is barely one step better than just logging in to grocerygateway and ordering everything yourself based off your last shopping list. which you can already do
