>>What happened next? What did the fridge do, send her Spam?
(Serious question. I stay low tech so I can be left alone.)<<
No, but it locked up her WiFi since her phone thought it now had a Service Provider (that damn printer did it to me, too). The only way to use the Internet using our data plan was to turn off our WiFi.
From what I understand, it might have actually ORDERED Spam from us if it thought it was out...
Thanks. That’s just... obnoxious. But unfortunately, most people will get used to these invasions. This nosy technology will make telemarketers look good.
How long before these gossipy appliances rat on homeowners? Guests will know that the fridge is full of - gasp! - inorganic vegetables and saturated fats, the info going straight to facebook and twitter. Or maybe the Obamacare minders.
