Yeah I’ve heard of the checking contents thing. Maybe it comes down to your habits and constraints - I just don’t really ever have that problem and the solution seems worse to me than just kinda… making a grocery list and walking to the store a couple times a week as I do now.

Yeah these are definitely valid - I live alone in a condo, so the benefits just don’t appeal to me as much. My friend has a rental so he is already more inclined to find more utility in those features as well.

Lmao, agree. My friend was trying to talk me into smart wifi locks when I bought my home. I was like “dude, if I ever have a single issue with a LOCK on a DOOR because my wifi is out or a battery dies I might fully lose my mind. I’m good.” I don’t even get the desire for some of this stuff. What genuine problem is being solved? What new problems are you introducing? Idk if people are really thinking this through.

Lmao I did this exact thing. Installed Ubuntu on the home desktop. Immediately occurred to me that I couldn’t connnect to the internet to look up how to do anything else. Scrambled so hard to find that XP disc and atone for my reckless folly.
