> I sure as hell don't want them to be internet-capable

There isn't really a good reason for appliances to be online-capable and in some cases it puts homes at risk. If you have that and like it, cool - good for you, but that's "innovation" for the sake of having a reason to sell a new product... a product that can be hacked to break or shutdown via a firmware update.



Or zombified to make requests on a specific target, to harm them or you.
