Keeps it ultra sharp with blade angles calculated by the latest AI-generated honing algorithms.
Also, fuck your privacy. Let us in your home.
Internet of shit.
450euro for a ultrasonic vibrating knife.
They used to be one in the hotel that I worked at and it definitely didn't have an app or internet connection you just pressed the button and it did its thing. What's the firmware for?
Got to tell the advertising firm and the government how you cut your bread.
No idea. I just googled to see how much for a tool that been so common, that you can buy a really great one in under 100 euro.
Does it really cut better than a typical $100 knife?
I think it just never gets dull, because it isn't cutting with sharpness
I don't care if it's sharp enough to kill a god, it's still not worth it if it needs WiFi access.
I unno killing a god is historically pretty damn expensive. Wifi access is a lot cheaper then your soul, first born, village or eternal damnation.
What the hell are you people doing buying this crap in the first place?
Ultrasonic cutting tech is really cool tbh. That doesn't mean the fucking thing has to be internet connected and have firmware updates .
But it isn't? No serious chef would use this bullshit.
I'm convinced that much of, if not most of, society sees technology in our personal lives as a way to (ideally) not have to learn anything or put in one bit of extra effort.
I've been getting my hands dirty and doing more things myself over the past few years, and ya know sometimes the journey is more impactful on you as a person than the destination is. Learning things and interacting with the world around you is good.
This knife is expensive, but actually pretty badass. It's an ultrasonic frequency knife and the only non commercial use chefs knife I know of that does it and works. It cuts with no effort, but really the biggest perk is that absolute fuck all will even try and stick to the side of the blade. Still to richy rich for the benefits, but it is cool tech.

I'm getting flashbacks to the knife dildo from the movie "Seven."
probably NSFW
This scene
This link is showing me how to increase the power of a small engine in a go cart. I’m still gonna watch it but it’s not what I was expecting.
Every day we get a little closer
I've seen this knife on YouTube. It vibrate at ultrasound frequency that makes it sharper than the blade really is and the ingredients don't stick to it, or so they claim. If it really does perform as demonstrated, it's pretty cool, but still overpriced.
If all it does is vibrate why does it need a firmware update?
It doesn't...
But the kind of people who are impressed by a vibrating knife are also likely to be impressed by the ability to update firmware. They don't know what firmware DOES, they just know it's modern.

The incredibly silly true answer is that the software industry's love for "deploy early, deploy often" has led to all embedded devices shipping with over-the-air (OTA) update support even when it barely makes sense. The earliest units of a given product run will ship with a minimally viable product build that has lots of bugs, but solid OTA.
Fun anecdote: I had a TV backlight die after about 3 years, and the root cause was a shitty embedded app that incorrectly regulated the voltage for the LED strips.

How would it vibrate without wpa3 support?
To fix all the RCE bugs, of course!
