    Right. You mean when they occasionally burst into flames and burned the friggin house down instead of smoothly just disengaging because the smartness also secures from malfunction?

      This isn’t correct. The invention of fuses and breakers predates the invention of wifi by a lot.

      Funny because when I think of things bursting into flames randomly, the things that come to mind are samsung phones and teslas, not old appliances.

      Is that smooth disengaging when the smart appliance is about to burst into flames even a thing? And if so is it really just limited to modern appliances and not a thing appliance makers have been doing to resolve flaws all along?
