1000% Agree. Smart Appliances are just appliances that cannot do the one thing they are supposed to do properly and have a bunch of extra bells and whistles attached which are rendered useless when the core function of the appliance is barely functional

We had a fridge years ago that was dumb in the sense that its non-fridge function to the user was only some temperature indicators (and probably controls, I forgot)

One day they stopped working and the fridge had to be rebooted.
