CAFE by GE for those who are wondering.
We are renovating our house including all new appliances. I have told my partner to make sure we get non smart appliances. This is why.

I've honestly come to the conclusion that some companies have management that actually believes its worth while to collect the most meaningless telemetry data, even after the ridiculous cost of bandwidth, database storage, hosting, etc. which all become more bonkers the larger the dataset. I've seen the cloud bills for actual useful data, I don't want think about how much they must be paying AWS/Azure/GCP to host such worthless data. There's no way its at all profitable to do so
