By the way similar thing might happen to geniuses buying Internet-connected cars.

people who like saving money decided to do this. For simple monitoring purposes. When you have thousands of fridges you want to know how their doing and you don't want to sent a person to inspect each one of them.
It sounds like you are victim blaming. I apologize in advance if I interpreted you incorrectly.
Please find me a new car that isn't Internet-connected, genius. You're assuming consumers have a meaningful alternative.
Offtopic: I only see "genius" used these days to describe an idiot. I guess this is how words change meaning over time. At some point in the future being called a "genius" will always be seen as pejorative.
Here in the UK, there's a £500 subsidy for home EV charge points... but only if they're connected to the internet.
What could possibly go wrong?
