capitalist tech rant 

I don't like this or want this.

I don't want a refrigerator that does something zany when faced with something it doesn't recognize, or demand I justify anything I store in it.

I don't want an appliance of any kind that makes purchasing decisions for me.

Appliances that buy things for me with my money, from no vendor but a single store with surprisingly limited inventory, benefits no one but the single locked-in vendor. That's a terribly high price to pay for convenience.

Will it allow me to store sandwiches made from unauthorized bread?

I especially don't want an appliance that would rather do obviously zany misrecognition, think I like the misrecognized thing, and buy things based on it, than admit its ignorance and not worry about it.
