I honestly hate the IoT so much. Why should a coffee machine of all things use data? Just make the coffee.

I love IoT. It's the greedy corporations I hate. Everyone who implements this kinda abusive stuff, from the CEO down to the people building and installing the firmware, are scum.
Technology could be so much more useful and fun if we just fully banned the collection and sale of personal data. We've been dreaming of smart homes for, like, 80 years, but advertising ruined it just like it ruins everything. Imagine how cool it would be to able to connect devices to the internet for purely functional purposes without them spying on you!
This is all technology. Everything is being infested with spying and tracking.
No, just pick your technology better. My LineageOS phone and framework laptop do nothing of the sort.
