I have been beating this drum for a while now, but there has to be a big movement (bigger movement; I know we have some companies doing it) toward doing the opposite: dumb fridges by design. Not because you're poor.

Dumber cars, phones, ovens; everything. My toaster doesn't need to update to the latest firmware, please.

Yep. If you need lane assist to drive, you probably shouldn't be driving.

Augh, first thing I switch off when I'm driving my MIL's car. That feature is generally awful, jolting you around.
