No. This is the comment I replied to.

“I don't have any smart appliances...but if I did, I wouldn't connect them either. I'm smart enough to operate appliances manually.”

You all think I replied to this one.

“I remember reading a story on legal advice who bought a "smart fridge" that had a screen on the fridge doors.

But the screen kept displaying all these unwanted pop-up ads anytime he tried to get his fridge to do fridge stuff.

Why does a smart fridge need to exist? Why does a fridge need a screen/monitor or to connect to the internet?

All I need is a basic fridge that keeps my food cold.”

Congrats all for the unnecessary downvotes. Follow the thread next time.

Yes, but the comment you had replied to was talking about a smart fridge, so when you said the thing about being able to turn "it" off, it sounded like you meant the fridge.

I see you replied to your comment saying you meant stove specifically.

Wrong, there is plenty of parody songs around my hump alone, this song has been the butt of jokes for a long time.

Wile the commercial, is a direct advertisement to sell a product.

Very different.

If the toy company is a commercial operation, then it probably isn't (and shouldn't be) covered by parody "fair use". They're using someone else's intellectual property to make a profit, so they should pay to use it. The judgement, whatever it is, wouldn't be setting a precedent, each case should be judged on its own merits.

HBO Max has been excellent, but it was just bought by Warner/Discovery who promptly started axing things including the previously acclaimed West World as it head into its final season and some other things. West World was even removed from platform and will be exclusive to some ad supported other service if I recall correctly

The idea of the smart home was strong about a decade ago. It reminded me of those old films from the 50s about "the home of tomorrow". Practicality goes out the window for mild conveniences. Then it became obvious that it could lead to bigger problems when it came out that these devices lacked any kind of cyber security. And last thing anyone wants is to get hacked through their coffee maker.
