Well, of course that data is in the “cloud” of a capitalist company willing to sell access to it to anyone… But that doesn’t mean I am okay with you being that anyone!

        Valid point about privacy issues. But actually this topic is also interesting in an industrial context when you want to know how much your machines are using to optimise your factory. But yeah, it always depends on how you use it.

        The Hitachi Magic Wand is one of the most well known vibrators out there. And it’s powered straight from mains voltage.

            Well, the lights dim when I turn it on, and it sounds like I’m powering up a blaster in Star Wars, so you tell me…oh, wait…that’s not a Hitachi Wand. Nevermind.

            Both a “wireless” (battery-powered), and wired version exist. The wired version is unsurprisingly the original design.

      Yeah, but mentioning the playstation and the meme homeserver right away felt a little too cheap.

        It’s more the kitchen appliances that I use aren’t the ones people bought as gifts… seriously that combined air fryer/pressure cooker/five-other-cooker-things is… annoying.

        (I just have an instapot+slow cooker, immersion blender+blender+food processor that I have to hide from certain family, the absence of the “all in ones” would start a fight.)
