Post CF and on-going Trump outrages

[Senegoid]

When my brother had to buy a new kitchen range the eager young appliance salesman tried to sell him one that he could turn on with his phone and I guess the conversation went pretty much the same way. I guess Earnest has a lot of siblings.

Can Internet-enabled potholders be far behind?

Maybe it’s time to re-post my remarks on that from a while ago:

@Senegoid

I have several very old, definitely pre-IOT potholders here, that are starting to fall apart with age. It’s clearly time for me to get new potholders, as the ones I have are no way upgradeable. Should I be looking into IOT-enabled potholders? Why or why not? What advantages would they have for me?

(Note: I do very little cooking.)

(nb: Before anyone bothers actually answering that, note that TroutMan and Stranger_On_A_Train already wrote detailed essays suggesting why we might someday use Internet-enabled potholders.)
