Parent asks ...
"Why would you ever connect your fridge to the internet ?"
If you go on vacation, you might occasionally 'check in'
and see if everything is nominal. Make sure there was
no power-fail, or if there were that it didn't last
too long, or possibly see if anyone has opened the
door either if this is not expected or those with access
have been asked to NOT access it. You might want to
check the inside temperature to see if it has risen too
much due to someone NOT remembering to shut the door.
There might be other items of interest that would be
useful to keep tabs on while away.
I am confident that if you think really hard,
you might be able to come up with a few other reasons.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Easy ... so that it can send you a text and/or email if it loses power, so that
you can empty the freezer. Oh wait!

Shabbat mode.
Let the fridge/freezer/etc call home to determine the
correct date and time,
and thus when the next Shabbat or Holy Day or High Holy
Day is.
Also need to call home to find out how long the Holy Day
lasts.
Whilst the user should be able to input all that, the designers
of the software
do not, as a general rule of thumb, allow for that much direct
user input.

Why would you ever connect your fridge to the internet ?
Because the manufacturers have figured out how to collect personal data by
forcing everybody to do this? (How do you expect your fridge to work if it
hasn't been "activated"?)
(I just learned you can't put something in angle brackets in the title of a
comment.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
