None of their toothbrushes require an app or the internet to function. It is completely optional and none of the device functions are artificially hidden behind the app or an account. You can use the app without an account as well from what I know. The only reason I know mine has bluetooth is because it randomly showed up in my home assistant device list.
I've seen lemmy lose their shit over an out of context screenshot of a smart toothbrush having bluetooth connectivity like three times, because people have been trained to assume the device requires it in some way. You've been rage baited by a toothbrush, please stop and get angry at the mountain of other smart devices that actually fuck over the consumer instead.
I used a nail gun once that had Bluetooth connectivity. I still have no idea why I would ever want that.
Maybe tracking nail usage in a professional setting? I have no idea, but it's an amusing feature for sure.
I just thought it was a funny sentence.
I agree, I'm talking about the other comments
Optional or not, a toothbrush should never have connectivity via Bluetooth, an app or an online account.
Why not? As long as you retain control of your data I don't see any issue with it. As I mentioned, home assistant integration is one use case. Obviously someone cared enough to write an integration for it.
Lmao. Its oral b, you def arent maintaining control of your data
The data is getting to my home assistant and no further. If you use the app, you're not maintaining control. Connectivity in smart devices isn't inherently bad, but people need to be educated about how to take ownership of their data.
