      @DODI-f2q need? we don’t need 90% of things we own. Need is not even a factor to buy things.

    At this point other than lights and a vacuum and security I don’t think I’ll be adding anything smart to my home. Don’t really want more AI in my life. For appliances we want reliable not wifi.

    “AI cameras in the bedroom” do you not hear yourself? No one wants this, no privacy.

    Minus 2 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? I would think Celcius, but as CNET is American and stuck in the dark ages…🤷🏼

    Inches, centimeters…these are actual units of measurement. “Absolutely massive” is not.

    “Journalist” but immediately inserts himself into the story instead of just informing. We now know more about him and his personality quirks than any of the products. Interesting choice.
