Innovation....

I saw a fridge that had an app so you could control it from anywhere.

My requirements for a fridge are remarkably simple, to the point the only practical use I could think of an app was alarm that I'd left the door open or something.

(If this particular app did have a door-open alarm, it wasn't on the list of features. It did say you could adjust the temperature from your office. A location I'm often worrying about the fridge.)

Mine has a camera that shows you the contents of the fridge. It's been useful on many occasions.

Helpful to save you three steps and a lift of a hand to see whats inside?

I imagine the use case is more one of “I’m in the supermarket and I need to know if I have enough xyz left”

These two solutions are more fun.

- make something else

- buy more regardless and make a larger batch

They have fewer points of technical failure; they don’t create security attack surface; they save bandwidth; they get you talking to your friends, family or neighbours more; most food waste biodegrades, so it’s not really “waste”.

If your argument requires saying it's fine to just throw out food, maybe you should reconsider.
