I agree, Graham. I don't want or need my appliances to connect to the
internet! I don't need a refrigerator/freezer with a motherboard or
chips that can go bad. My refrigerator does not need to be able to tell
me what time it is. I don't need it to keep track of what is in it and
create a shopping list that will sync with my (non-existent) Smartphone.
I just want a reliable, long lasting appliance. The kitchen
appliances in this house are ancient. I'm lucky, they still work.
