My clothes dryer has this stupid touch screen interface and keeps reminding me that it can be controlled by an app.
I'm all: "So? I Don't want my phone colluding with the dryer and the garage door opener to overthrow me."
Don't be ridiculous. They won't collude against you. They clearly will have a turf war instead with each claiming that the TOS you signed by opening the packaging (the TOS being, of course, on the inside of said packaging) gives them exclusive rights to your entire being.
We have a shredder at work with a touchscreen. It is a shedder, basically just a motor and some rotating blades. But every time i use it i have to wait 30 seconds for the touchscreen to wake up. Totally useless.
I'm old enough to remember when shredders would just turn on when you inserted paper into them. No interface needed, touch or otherwise.
How did you change the shredding settings though?

I think I’ve told Gmail.com that 10k times in a row.
They will try again tomorrow though.
The dryer could tell the garage door to open, to reduce humidity.
