I’ve just had a new shower installed. I was disgusted to learn it has bluetooth. So now I have a shower that
A) might have software bugs,
B) could be hacked from outside, pouring hot water for days on end if I’m away, and
C) could be messed with by anyone with the app while someone else is in the shower (whether accidentally or deliberately).
The builders were rather disappointed by my reaction. I just hate totally unnecessary enshittification. What’s wrong with a purely mechanical solution? 😡.
@KimSJ I guess it’s not as bad as the razor I bought a few years ago that you can Bluetooth to your phone. To see how much battery is left, instead of looking at the gauge that’s right on the razor? I dunno.
@JamesHMcLaren Since it takes some time for the hot water to reach it from the tank at the far end of the house, you can turn the shower on and enjoy one extra minute in bed. As far as I can see, that’s about the only win. 🤷
