My 3.5 year old refrigerator died last week. My 6 year old water heater died the week before.

We are going in the wrong direction adding Bluetooth,WiFi, AI to things that don’t need it. How about a simple fridge/freezer with a compressor and a couple of doors? Back to basics isn’t always a bad thing.

Appliances are like shitcoins on a fiat standard nowadays (trash losing value).
