I doubt it.
Dude when I tell people I only do pour over coffee people are always like “you know you can get a coffee maker for 20 bucks”
I just prefer how little space these things take up. Plus I rarely drink more than 2-3 cups a day.
Oooo, a family member give me their old drip coffeemaker because I took too long with my French press one time while they were visiting. They honestly thought they were being helpful. It’s been sitting in the closet since the day they left it here.
My moka pot ain’t talkin’ to no one.
It only sings a sweet burbling song of coffee to me each morning. And afternoon.
If it’s burbling, you fucked up.

There’s tech, and then there’s electronic tech. I’m sure the filter paper is waaaaay more high tech than the kettle. Seriously, check out the engineering that goes into filter mediums, it’s insane.
I feel like this is a topic someone on YouTube will have a 40 minute video about lol
The steam from the water powers a micro rotor and the coffee acts as an antenna, duh
I have a stainless steel one but yeah pour-over gang reporting
I’d recommend one that’s not plastic. (Though I have that same one and use it occasionally.)
If you bought a coffee pot requiring network access and give it unrestricted internet then you deserved to become a government pawn
Gonna tell my mom I got a government job.
why would I care? the US is spying on me and they’re a much bigger threat to me
Eyes his french press suspiciously
Bon jour!
Mine said “On ne passe pas!”, so I knew it was one of the good ones.
I’ve got a french press. Is it spying on me for china or France. At this point I don’t care which one.
Guess I’ll have to keep making coffee the old way
All jokes aside, IoT devices suck.
Why does a dishwasher need to connect to a remote server to use its full functionality? Why does my coffee maker need me to start it using an app? At that point it isn’t a feature, it’s a dependency that the company behind will eventually shut down one way or another.
Nothing IoT is allowed in my house if it can’t be fully managed locally with Home Assistant.
Frankly you shouldn’t stop with just IoT devices. My sister wouldn’t listen to the HA so she’s not allowed over. It was a bit of a fight in the family but the dog listens so it got to stay and I think that’s totally reasonable.
Damn, which integration did you use for the dog?
Ii use esphome to flash the firmware on his shockcollar. Now when he barks the shock collar on my sister goes off and she gets him a treat.

The collar does have BLE but I thought that would be a violation of my sisters privacy and I don’t want her to feel unwelcome.

I need to get my 3D printer working so I can actually print a housing for my smart thermostat.
All you really need is a temperature sensor and a 4x relay board.

I have an automation for controlling bathroom vent fans using a humidity sensor in the bathroom and a reference one outside it if you’re interested.
It also has logic to not turn off the fan if it has a Bluetooth speaker that’s playing music (currently using the “Music Active” companion app sensor, Bluetooth MAC was flakey).
And logic to turn it off if the AC is running and music isn’t playing.

Yeah, getting my wife on board has been the hardest part of things.
What’s the worst that can happen? China takes over and I’m forced to slave my life away and not be able to get anything I want?.. oh wait…
I don’t give a rats ass if chinas tracking me. Why? because I don’t live in china nor do I ever plan to. In fact, I’d prefer they track me instead of a US company
Kinda relevant here
How do they have reams of data on every American? I’m not following.
Oooh new vocab, thanks.

Shoots coffee maker Americanly. Shoots toaster too, just to be sure.
I like to imagine the guy who pitched spying on Americans through their coffee makers like “we need to figure out how much coffee Americans are drinking” and everyone in the room was just fully on board with this genius idea.
Wait until you find out what they’re doing to you through your toilet seat!
I don’t actually mind that. I kinda like that. (secretly)
Maybe it’s finally time we start kink-shaming some people.
I also like being kink shamed. (Not a secret)
