    On paper all of this stuff is a great idea that would make our appliances more functional.

    In reality, the best case scenario is that it’s sold to our corporate overlords so they can slap an ad on your refrigerator and sell you more plastic waste.

    Worst case, it’s sold to ICE or some other fascist regime.
