My go-to example is a "smart" mug that keeps the temperature of coffee.
It sounds neat if it worked, but it also sounds like the frivolous kind of idea someone might have from staying up late, drinking too much cold coffee, and trying to think of the next big idea for their company...
Apparently this brand in the image bricked their mugs after an app upgrade. 😬

Oh, I searched "app controlled spoon", expecting not to find anything, and now I think I need to cry

@almonds@mastodon.mit.edu Why inbthe hell would something like this need an upgrade? It's controlled by an app on your phone, isn't it?
