New! Amazing! Awesome!
Low-benefit (but Internet-connected!) devices now on sale (from February 2015 MacLife magazine):
- HAPIfork — Bluetooth-connected, alerts you if you’re eating too fast
- iKettle — heat water at different temperatures for different drinks, controlled by phone
- an LG washing machine — lets you start the wash cycle while away; provided, of course, that you’ve already loaded the machine
- Kolibree “smart toothbrush” — tracks and graphs “brushing habits”
- Satis “smart toilet” — remotely flushes, raises and lowers the seat, and engages the bidet — all features which MacLife touts mainly good for “terrorizing guests”.
