    Don't buy internet-connected anything if there's a non-internet connected version or an OVERWHELMING reason connect to the internet, part zillion. This example looks benign, but I can think of a few dozen terrible uses of this data off the top of my head. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/business/media/fever-advertisements-medicine-clorox.html …pic.twitter.com/QXnylNyEmC

        Half a million American households are having their fever data uploaded and sold to advertisers, integrated into databases, and who-knows-what and I bet almost very few them either realize what is happening or potential implications. Nobody is looking out for people.

        Lack of sensible data policies, protections and technologies is also suppressing innovation and great uses. What a ridiculous, terrible state of affairs. 😡

        Another reason to not buy internet-based products: I bought a smart pet feeder and when the company went out of business, the feeder became useless without a website to link to.

        There is no need for much of this internet-connected stuff. I refuse to have it in my house.

        Unfortunately, in some areas there are no longer "non-internet-connected versions" :(

        Another alternative - fail to connect it to the internet, people should have secure non-open wifi anyway.

        I usually hijack their DNS destinations and redirect it to a local server, where I reimplement the service locally.

        The most obvious one is of course healthcare insurance no longer advertising to heavy users of this application
