please please please do not buy into the Internet of Things. Digital displays for appliances are one thing, but you shouldn’t need the fucking internet to do your laundry or use the fridge.
Also read something but a Dutch e-bike manufacturer going bankrupt and the bikes only functioning with an app. I’m no expert, I don’t have one, but something about digital keys to lock or unlock your bike. Seems a third party is going to take over the digital keys and the servers will remain online, but … yeah.
