You would be surprised, and then very worried, to find out what things needlessly have bluetooth
I saw a guy detail how to hack a house through a fridge.
I get unreasonably angry at salespeople when they brag about Bluetooth and wifi on appliances.
I know I shouldn't. But wtf do you want your toaster to have internet access?
I like my toast on a schedule and one day when they invent the robot that moves the bread from the pantry and into the toaster I'll have my dream. One Bluetooth device at a time.
Pee Wee Herman had a whole ass breakfast made for him way back in the 80's.
