Jesus Christ.... Air purifiers are connected to the internet now??? What's next? My fucking toilet paper holder?
A lot of devices are doing away with physical remotes in favour of a shitty cell phone app. It's cheaper, and they get the added benefit of selling the user data to have the necessary infrastructure pay for itself.
I have bad news...

Fucking hell
Shit’s getting smart…
They're probably also double dipping by:
Using referral links to get a cut of the sales; and,
Selling the data to third parties.
Oh absolutely. You know they are.

Well, obviously the toilet paper holder needs cloud and AI, how else can the toilet paper holder company provide the optimal toilet paper despensing experience.
