    I am in the minority but if i ever had a fridge that’s costing me money like that it would never be a brand I would ever associate with ever again and the current one is being tossed ASAP. I’m also not connecting fridges to my wifi either because why should it be?

      Now apply this logic to your phone and your car… Because they are already doing that

        You got me on the phone, but my car is from 2007 and doesn’t even have Bluetooth lol so I am good on that one for now. I do try a little by removing all the stock apps, no social media except this, and lock down my network to block as many sites that report home from lists online. Since I’m home 90% of the week, if not more, im at least doing more than most would.

      ring doorbells can connect to the Internet through each other. Imagine a fridge made by amazon that uses the same network. Now imagine amazon giving discounts to apartments making it more attractive to cheapskate landlords. I can imagine insurance companies paying amazon surprisingly small sums to make this happen.
