@ai6yr i remember that the smart fridge was the holy grail of IOT back in the early, every single IOT ‘strategy’ deck had some hilarious scenario of the fridge ‘knowing’ you were out of milk and ordering it for you.
every single UX person i knew responded to it as that’s great and all “but I buy milk before i run out so i have it in the morning” or “but what if i don’t want it” etc.
such a narrow case fantasy of a user need to disguise implementing stealth leasing infrastructure
