Manual appliances. You can open the fridge, but only if you pay your monthly subscription fee to keep it restocked.
We work hand-in-hand with retailers to make online shopping the default, whilst making the UI only accessible to AI bots, so if you want a stocked fridge; pay your fees.
Sounds like an out of touch tech bro.
Yup. Worse still, I can see this extending to other appliances. Haven't paid your monthly washing machine service fee? Our partnership with the only water company in your area authorizes us to shut off your water.
You are actually just insane and should shut up.
