i know internet connected appliances is stupid to begin with, but why is it common for these things to not have an offline mode so it can still work without a connection? i used to have a job making firmware and they would have fired me for some shit like that. tbh i would probably add it in on my own because testing would otherwise be fucking annoying
Because you can set up the oven to require a monthly subscription in order to work. No Internet connection means it can’t verify that your subscription is up to date
