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.

You're making some kind of assumption and value judgement here but not articulating it. You're using the assumption as leverage to make an emotional push for me to think differently.

What's the assumption and value judgement? Can you weigh that against the biodegradability comment and share more of your thoughts?
