• I have a Samsung refrigerator that wants to connect to the Internet. Of course I don’t allow that.

• A smart refrigerator could cool down more when electricity is cheaper, for example when the sun is shining on my solar panels.

• I don’t like Apple. I find their UI to be hard to use and counter-intuitive. Their walled garden / vendor lock-in is a model of monopoly behavior that is terrible.

  However, unlike most other US tech giants when you use their stuff you are the customer, not the product. It is in Apple’s interest to keep their customers happy.

  So on one hand it is surprising that they would upset their customers like this.

  However, capitalism dictates that if their is also a chance of making money by making you both the customer and the product, Apple has to take it.

  So on the other hand completely unsurprising. 😅

• That sounds like terrible reliability. If my home lab had an outage like that I would shut it down as I clearly don’t know how to run a dependable system. 😅

• We don’t use any parental controls. Our kids have always been very trustworthy. I disabled all Google parental spying and blocking for my son as soon as the age limitations would allow it. (My stepdaughter was under the thumb of her father’s monitoring for a long time. She had to face his wrath when she turned off location sharing with him on her iPhone… her second year of college.)

  We had to brow-beat my son into getting a WhatsApp account so he could chat with his classmates (his actual friends use Signal, but WhatsApp is what group chats mostly use in Holland). 😅

• That’s what my son’s school does.

  We’ve had a mobile phones ban for students in the Netherlands for a few years now. Our kids have been scared away from social media by my wife’s ingestion of fear-based mainstream news and by my anticapitalist ranting, so it doesn’t really impact them. 🙈

• Slightly better, since presumably adults at the school have mobile phones, instead of having to use the limited land lines.

• Also, any non-trivial system has failure modes that are not binary. Like, if your convertible car has the roof stuck down you can drive it, but you will be sad if it rains. So, is the car “up” or not? Similarly, if your site has writes offline for a database upgrade, but reads work fine, is it “up”?

  The concept is just advertising and something that makes sense to senior management, but provides no actual useful metrics.
