Agreed, the only functionality that should be active if it’s connected to the internet is sending an alert of a failure. Sadly, no company that has a way to serve you ads will choose not to use it… 😮‍💨

Amen

The only good reason I can think of for a fridge to be connected to the internet is to alert you to a compressor failure when it happens so you can get the food out of it.

Edit: I should have clarified that I meant consumer fridges, which I install for a living and so my brain defaulted to that. Commercial systems definitely need monitoring of some sort, and network access is the best way to centralize that.

No it was made during a satisfying render challenge on corridor crew. It was either wren or jordan but I can’t remember which

I didn’t sleep last night but it wasn’t my choice. I just didn’t get tired until about a half hour before I had to be up. Needless to say, today fucking sucked.

Oh, I wouldn’t fail to reward them for their critical thinking, that’s a great thing for them to be doing. I just don’t want them to think their first idea is the only possible one. I guess I should have added the condition to my decision of how to act about it that if they seemed into be into continuing with the scientific process, I’d leave them to keep testing and figuring things out, but if they’re done with it, which, let’s be honest, most kids probably would be, I’d give and let them have their win.

Honestly, I would be so proud of my kid if they brought this to me, and unless I was prepared for this eventuality, I’d probably admit they’re right and paraise their critical thinking. If I was prepared, I’d start poking holes in their theory and show that they have evidence the tooth fairy isn’t real, not proof, so more experimentation is required
