Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But also, these aren't hidden features. That info should be on the box. I'm not trying to defend companies demanding your email and an account to use an electric toothbrush, but also at a certain point you gotta look at the consumer and say, you bought that. Electric toothbrushes aren't exactly a monopoly out there; you can buy one that doesn't require an email.

It's pretty easy to put something on the box like this can make your phone buzz if you forget to brush your teeth, and people who worry they're sometimes forgetting to brush your teeth will see that as an advantage without necessarily realising that they need to give the manufacturer their email and the right to associate it with their brushing telemetry.

If it's not prominently displayed on the box, then it's not the consumer's fault.

I agree, but I suspect that info was on the box.

I doubt that the packaging could help you find a "smart" toothbrush that doesn't ask for your email
