    Why did you have to login in the first place? What's an "Oral-B brushing experience"?

    It's the experience of a toothbrush collecting data about your daily routines to sell for profit.

      My toothbrush is as dumb as it comes. The only smart thing it does is charging itself when I put it in its charger base. And that should be the standard.

      No reason to even use electricity. A damp cloth and some baking soda works just as well!

        We have recently gotten ourselves some SURI toothbrushes and they are eco friendly, repairable, the heads are recyclable/ biodegradable. They also give a better clean than my old oral b electric. Quieter too. Highly recommend.

            You can use the Oral B with some electric brushes to see where you have brushed and where you haven't to help you with not missing anything.

              I wonder if it's so you can get a calendar of usage tines. Could be handy to ensure kids are brushing for the right amount of time?

                Pfft baking soda? Don't you know certain tree species' twigs work just as well?

                            But.. how else am I going to connect my toothbrush to my smarthome..?

                            Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don't need to be logged in.

                            I agree. It's super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I'm not one of those people, so that doesn't apply to me. Phew..

                              Right? I buy only open-source wifi toothbrushes. Still waiting on the year of the Linux toothbrush, tbh

                                  Yup, you need to send it back to them but for a few quid (or included if you have their replacement head subscription) they will change the battery for you.

                                    We should not be shaming the consumers, but educating them. The blame is on the companies for making such a terrible product in the first place, the consumer only found out how bad it was after. Sometimes, you can no longer return a product because its X days out of policy.

                                    Not that I don't completely agree with your sentiment, but to make people start advocating for themselves, you have to make them see you are a friend, and the company is the enemy.

                                    (not that the oop would ever see this post, comment or reply because who on twitter is also using lemmy, but you get it right?)

                                        If it’s anything like mine, it works just fine without the app. The app just does brush tracking and shit. I don’t need any of that, so I never set it up. But I suspect even if I had, it would still let me use it without being logged into the app.

                                        I suspect the same is true here. That the function of the toothbrush is available regardless of whether it’s logging data to your phone.

                                          "where you have brushed" -> either "where in your mouth" or "where you were when brushing"
