Same. The worst thing that happened to it was that one of the bearings for the front fork disintegrated earlier this year, but that was easy enough to repair (even if the bike repair shop where I ordered the necessary parts tried to make me believe they had to do a job like that).

tl;dr: 3d printers start randomly printing stuff (sometimes very unsuccessfully). Culprit may be a misbehaving cloud server.
Why exactly would one need a cloud server to print something on a 3d printer that is at their own home? #InternetOfShit

Have you seen the hell of installing print drivers?

@izzion Nah, 3d printers are (used to be?) pretty OK.

The "driver" for my printers is a USB stick. There's no connection to the computer at all.

Could be because printing something non-trivial takes a lot of time. This way you can start the printing over the internets while you're away. Somewhat irresponsible to remotely start things that can burn your house down. And should be disabled by default. But here were are.

I did that multiple times and burned a total of 0 houses. So it's perfectly safe.

@MrL Let me borrow your printer's and its manufacturer's SSL certificates, perhaps I can help you rectify that

I was warned of this by the guy installing my new oven: Starting it via its smart functions while not in the house is not covered by insurance.
The oven's wifi remains unconfigured, though I've considered setting it up so I can set the timer on the oven and receive the notification on my phone.

You're definitely not wrong. Several 3D printer manufacturers, hobbyist CNC routers and other similar manufacturers have been moving towards this bullshit. Vendor lockin and needing an always-on internet connection to use my stuff? No fucking thank you. Just make it work through industry standard protocols and build your user friendliness on top of that.
All that being said, for a long time I have been able to remotely start prints at my home when needed. But that requires me to VPN to my home and none of my stuff reaches out to any third-party remote servers. Fuck that shit.

If you need to do this with your 3D printer, you are doing it wrong and so is the manufacturer.

NSA spying deviceGoogle Nest and use that for the timer. You will still get the "sometimes I don't get notified when the timer goes off" that your oven will probably do, but you will also get the "timer is going off on my phone, my watch and multiple devices in the house and some of them will not shut off" to keep some variety in your life.

Starting the print job in someone else's house doesn't burn down yours.

This. Haven't set it up, but basically a RPi connected to the printer via USB would do it. There's probably something premade you can buy.
It's not really worth with the printer that I have, it's basic/old enough that it needs a bit of manual setup to get it going. I'm also not printing that frequently (and I don't leave filament in the printer, so there's that).

If you live in an apartment, though, be sure to not start it on your downstairs neighbour’s printer.

If anyone's interested in the follow-up to the school which had a lighting system so complex that they couldn't turn it off, the state's Inspector General has now officially issued guidance that it served as a good example of what not to do.

@dcon Also, why does it ping your phone when it could just make a ping noise from the fridge itself? I kind of doubt it will only try to alert someone if the door has been open for so long that the person who did that may well have left the vicinity, if not town.

No but someone could be far enough from the fridge not to hear it make the noise.
Is it a useful enough feature on its own to go for a smart fridge? Of course not. But for the people who are buying a massive fridge with an internet-connected TV on it, Samsung might as well put in a useful feature.
-
@loopback0 if it's a Samsung product it should play the Samsung song when you've left the door open too long, just to let you know that it's a happy little fridge doing its happy little fridgey business but that it would appreciate you taking a look at it.

This. I'm not convinced that my fridge needs to send me notifications to my phone if I forget to close the door (as opposed to making some noise I can hear or whatever), but at least, I can sort of see the point of it. The question is whether getting a notification to the phone is useful - if I'm away far enough that I can't hear the fridge making noise, I might not exactly be in a position to close the door anyway. (I also don't carry my phone around while at home, so for me, fridge noises would actually be just more useful.)
But then there's the large screen. I have no idea wtf that is for, other than wasting some energy. Ads? Net negative.

I think this is the only reasonable explanation. (I'm assuming pets aren't able to open the fridge).

Yes, my current fridge does this. Isn't it so funny that IoS keeps looking for problems to solve?

@dcon said in Internet of shit:
This appears to be a joke, but having the door close itself really isn't that hard. You don't even need a motor for it. The door of my mom's fridge closes automatically, it's simple and effective.

And if they can, they probably can't answer the phone to be told to go close the fridge. Not that the kid would go close it anyways, but it sounds good when the sales creep explains it all.

When my fridge door doesn't close it's usually because there's something in the way. Something has shifted and is now blocking the door.

Around here, it's relatively common for families to have a freezer in either their basement or garage in addition to the one in their kitchen.
In that application, you might not be able to hear the beeping noise from the freezer itself, but you'd be able to hear/see a push notification on your phone.
-
@GuyWhoKilledBear True, but would you put a top-of-the-line “smart” fridge with all the bells and whistles there, or a cheap one that just keeps your food cold?
-
@GuyWhoKilledBear Sure, but the odds that the victim will try to escape go down considerably once you hack them up to pieces.

I don't have WiFi or 5G signal in either my basement or my garage. The freezers can stay dumb.
