What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol
-
Yet more reasons that charcoal/firewood is superior.
If you want to spend all day watching it. I set the Traeger and forget it until I get a notification that the food is at temperature.

I'm an IT nerd but they could not pay me to buy a grill that requires software updates. What a bunch of nonsense.
Actually the smoker is probably the only one thing I want software on and wifi (but yeah we could do without the updates unless there is some sort of bugs that turn it into a killing machine)

Pay me? Fuck yes, I'll rip that crap out and replace it with a couple of relays or maybe get fancy and arduino -> home assistant.
I'm betting that someone pay a LOT extra to get that garbage though.

I love my charcoal grill
With cooking normal beats all.
Gas, coal > electric shit

Can we go back to dumb tech?

Just out of curiosity... What are you doing to your grill that you need a new one every few years? Mine is prob. 10 years old and still no reason in sight to replace it.
As someone in the PNW, there is not much you can do if you don’t bring the dang thing indoors that won’t leave the thing a pile of rust in 5 years.
I am trying with a specific form of stainless to see if it makes a difference.

There was a silly little movie in the 80's called "Maximum Overdrive", written and directed by Stephen King.
In it Aliens somehow cause machines to 'turn' on human beings and attack us.
They could remake that movie now but instead of Aliens causing the machines to attack people, it could be malicious 'hackers' that do it, and it would be more believable that the original film.
You could hack a futuristic firmware upgradable power knife, but how do you hack it to hack off fingers?
Aliens had the supernatural power to be the machines
A self driving tesla trapping people in a gas station is 100% more believable than the semi.
Something is there...

I’m an immigrant (not a refugee to be clear) and this excerpt absolutely nails the camaraderie aspect of it and the way that living in immigrant neighborhoods/buildings feels. Turns out, Doctorow’s father was born in a refugee camp.

Nah, just give it the rattle can and paint it every now and then. "Once dor dust, twice for rust."

I see, yes i also have a stainless steel one, which is outdoors all year. Good luck, i suspect you might have just solved your "grill consumption"

But supposed they invented a whole new kind of meat and your grill wasn't ready to deal with it? How would you feel then? Pretty darn silly, that's how!

I have a friend who's really big in to smoking meats for hours and hours and days at a time. He loves this kind of thing because he can monitor the smoker without physically being in front of it.
I think he's crazy af for involving the damned internet in it but I guess it is what it is when you're "cooking" something for 9 hours.

The plot that kicks off Battlestar Galactica (2004) happens because pretty much everything uses wireless communications, including most systems within the space ships

Have you tried ceramic? I don't know if it makes sense but just a doubt

we love Z-Wave, ZigBee and Tinkerers products with Wifi
Matter is fine too. It’s off the cloud. MQTT is great but generally not exposed directly to the consumer.

Seems like we shouldn't encourage people to live in locations where being outside for 6 months of the year is hazardous
Not everyone can live in California wine country.
Most people live where it gets either dangerously hot or dangerously cold for large portions of the year.
