I have been logged out of my toothbrush
(lemmy.today)
Some poor corporate asshole had to literally write "Oral-B Brushing Experience" and pretend to care about what they do. Capitalism, baby! The goofy ass terminology people use to sell shit is sickening. "Using our new pasture woven insulation technology, we've guaranteed your feet will never be cold again" instead of "our socks are made of wool." I cringe.
It's morons like this, who buy this dumb ass shit, that perpetuates this dumb ass shit. The dumbest 60% of us make the decisions for all of us 🙄
Maybe if your toothbrush could deliver the oral b brushing experience you wouldn't spew this hatred all over our well cleaned face holes.
Not hate. It's the fucking truth!!
It's the parasites living in your mouth that make you think ibk and say these things. Get help!
Lol 😆
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.
Your password has been involved in a data leak - please update your password and provide a number for two-step verification in order to proceed to brushing your teeth
"We have your brushing history. We will show all your co-workers you only brush your teeth once a day unless you send us $10,000"
Amazing hahahah
And then, “This is the HR department calling. We’ve noticed a correlation in your declining performance with your worsening oral hygiene routine. We will be monitoring both metrics and you will receive a suspension if we do not see an improvement in both metrics within three weeks”
Proving if nothing else, that you are an idiot for buying it.
Toothbrushes, washing machines, light bulb and refrigerator shouldn't to connected to the internet.
Judging by your comment you might not know about the possibility of a gift.
Still didn't have to create am account for a freakin' toothbrush
