Because people are dumb and buy these shitty products.

I want a smart watch, but none do what I want without an account so I don't own that ether.

I found a 350€ OralB toothbrush in a shop recently in France.

I couldn't believe the amount of bullshit you have to cram in to up a toothbrush to that level of price.

I am what you would call a technology enthusiast, or what some people have dubbed as a gadget whore. I love little electronic devices that make my life easier. However, at no time in my life, will I ever need or desire a toothbrush that needs WiFi access or a subscription to some service. It really isn’t necessary or even useful. It’s like the old comic about the toilet that needs a phone app.

Imagine explaining the concept of this to a 16th century peasant, let alone some rich person from the 2000s, like nobody would've ever been ready to comprehend the existence of a wi-fi enabled toothbrush.

I mean, it looks more like you got logged out of your app.

If you meet a man who has been logged out of his toothbrush, do not mourn him. He has chosen thus. He is exactly where he has desired to be.

But any man's toothbrush logout diminishes me

Because I am involved in brushing my teeth

Mourn for this man, not for his choices but for his lack of them; a store selling expired milk should be put out of business by the authorities, not by a mob of post-poisoned shoppers.

That's communist talk. Those shoppers should have done their research before buying bad milk.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

That's free-market naïveté . No one has the time to be an expert in every field to always make the informed choice.

Do you read the labels on tangerines to check which antibiotics were used against citrus-greening? Do you even know if that's something you should be worrying about? Is Anti-Microbial Resistance something to legitimately be afraid of when buying tangerines?

(I leave this as an exercise for the so-called informed reader....)

Because you don't want someone else using your toothbrush on your account. Do you?

Edit to add: just thought of the implications. It'll totally screw up your algorithm. Just like how now that my kids can get on YouTube in the living room, I only get suggestions for Minecraft videos. I don't even like Minecraft.

Rhod Gilbert on toothbrush is worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet.
