A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Fridge temperature sensors are super useful to notice if you accidentally left the door open.
Similarly, sensors in a coffee machine are useful to detect limescale buildup, water level, etc.
The issue isn't the data but the fact that these "smart" devices aren't local-first.
