Everything is a problem

I bought a fan the other day, cause it warm. Cheap as I could find. Plug the thing onto the wall, can't figure out how to get it working. Read the manual: I need an app. I download the app, logged in with Facebook (had to create a Facebook account, for I had none. It was the only option), filled a form with my information, agreed to the Terms of Services and Privacy Policy. Gave it location access, to connect to the fan. It needed a few other permissions, which I had to give it. Now I can turn the fan on and off, from my phone (the fan has none). I can set a direction, turn the spinning on or off. Set the RGB light colours. I can even give it an image, and it'll display on the fan as it spins (probably why they demand entire system file access). I can even turn it on and off from the Quick Settings Tile. And make some changes from there as well. All in all, I must say, this fan is defin
This fan of yours sounds fucking terrible, bud.

I like my washer and dryer being connected. I can load it in the evening a set my Home Assistant to start it when the price on power is low.
The other things I agree with
how often is your electricity provider changing rate timing?
this could easily be done on the device itself with a timer/schedule

To be fair, I just bought a smart tv that has never touched the internet and doesn’t give me any problems. No prompts, no ads, just goes to my Apple TV and my steam deck.
Well see I don't think that's accurate, if you bought a TV in the last 50 years it only displays content if connected to WiFi and the only servers it connects to are Google AdSense servers. It is known.

click the calls app and click the contact
Two things you don't have to do on a dedicated phone. I bet you had to unlock your phone first, too.
on a dedicated phone you had dedicated phone. No call history, no phonebook, no call log. So yes, it is technically more taps to get to the dialing stage. But it’s faster overall

How else are you supposed to see the live stream from inside it, and get progress notifications and ads?
I would actually like a live stream of the dishwasher. I bet it is gross as hell.

I rented a car, a Mercedes B class or something
Everytime I started it, it would ask me to sign up for some bullshit Mercedes service
Half the features of the car were disabled due to requiring subscriptionsI will NEVER buy that car nor rent it ever again

I would like em too, but only if they allowed local only without any accounts beforehand.

After trying to get my new automated kitty litter box working with a POS app that can't sync with the poop machine and the PM can't connect to my 5 GHz wireless network (only 2.4 GHz) nor does it have any way to enter the password for said network I have resorted to deleting the app and just pushing two physical buttons in sequence on the PM twice daily to clean the litter area.

Me too, I gave up on the app. It's easier to just push the button on the machine. Hate things that need an app. Also hate having an account to use everything.

It used to be that when i got a new video game for Christmas, i could just put it into the GameCube/PS2 and play it. No need to wait for everyone to also try and download the 40gb update that morning.
Every time I have to wait for a 10 year old game to "update" I want to murder whoever is responsible.

Looks like the fan hopped up and murdered OP before he could finish his post.
Now THAT'S a Pixar movie I'd watch ...

I went to a coffee shop yesterday that tried to tell me they only accepted orders through their app. I almost walked out, until the finally poured my coffee, but continued to give me shit about it, "ok but next time you have to use the app"
"Yea no. There will be no next time."
"It's a work phone. I'm not allowed to install apps."

Yeah. It's straight fire.
This describes my reality nowadays.

the fuck, which features?
My guess would be heated seats and driver aids.
