I just had to confirm to my washing machine that I'm over 18

@foone

It wants to know if you're over 18? What the heck is it even going to do with that information?

@elettrona @foone @mastodonmigration The tales my washing machine could tell . . . very glad it can't connect to anything except 120V AC and a water pipe.

@argv_minus_one @foone it's an IoT gadget in the 21st century so probably tie its user to an advertising profile

@AVincentInSpace

So…you can opt out of the BS just by saying no?

Nice! I'm gonna do my best Bugs Bunny impression. “I'm 3½ yeaws owd!”

@foone

@EeveeEuphoria @foone If you're under 18 it won't enter the spin cycle.

@bachimusprime @foone What's liberals?

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@Netzblockierer @foone @geerlingguy @internetofshit I think it was when I decided to get one of those new fangled gmail accounts they were handing out.

Had to replace my kissmyass.com email address when they went away.

They said they wouldn't be evil and we're all one happy, united family here in the US of A. Why would I doubt anything? It's time to build the things!!!

Sorry. I'm way stupider than I thought.

Mine says the "Wool/Silk" program is blocked in my region because of licencing.

@nblr @foone Got one of those on my 3D printer, thanks to Bambu.

[0x520@kolektiva.social]

@foone I am sorry for our loss.

[foone@digipres.club]

@piepants @nblr heh. mine is on "local network only" mode, which seems good other than the fact it refuses to do timelapses

[piepants@famichiki.jp]

@foone @nblr yeah, mine's local only too, but my trust in network connected devices is so low it's also on a firewalled VLAN.

@Netzblockierer @foone @geerlingguy @internetofshit (stumbling across this thread)... From memory Samsung went out publicly (or leaked an internal memo, I don't know) stating that they had a problem that only 20% of their smart devices ever got connected by customers.

@gsuberland @piepants @nblr
oh interesting. I'll have to try that
