When their refrigerators have AI that scans everything you put into the refrigerator and then makes suggestions to you without asking first and table screen that hardly work and go obsolete in a year, yeah, I call that unnecessary tech. No other refrigerator does that.

That's not unnecessary, just to you it is, and the execution is flawed and terrible (No consent, hardly working screen) I for one would love a feature that kept track of my groceries for me because I'm absolutely terrible at manual lists and such.

Just because "no other refrigerator does that" doesn't automatically make it unnecessary either. That's what innovation is supposed to be.
