Most hilariously "over-teched" product you've seen?

[jwatkins456]

I find it really funny watching adverts on TV and YouTube, and seeing things like Samsung smart dishwashers and fridges that have cameras in that connect to wi-fi, like, what's the point?
Now, I'm not saying that these things aren't cool, because undoubtedly, who doesn't want a kettle that connects to wi-fi, that you can initiate with your iPhone from the next room?
But, what is the most hilariously "over-teched" product that you've ever seen? I'm anticipating some good ones !

Those are already 'hilariously overteched'. Security on those things is usually so rubbish anyone can leverage them to break into your home network.

Don't know about over teched, but theres plenty of over BS'd products in TV adverts, anything from Apple or Dyson for example

How about a Bluetooth toothbrush ?

Oh, in a very similar line to the toothbrush, only even less useful!

Largely useless since its only "helpful" features seem to be telling you if the coffee pod holder is empty, that the coffee cycle is complete or that it needs some sort of maintenance.

*Checks article date*

June 9th.

No, seriously, they just published it a couple of months late, right...?

Which requires you to have already inserted a capsule and put the cup under the spout.

Probably fine if you're a home user and remember to set it up before going to bed, but little use in an office unless its your private coffee machine...and you remembered to set it up.

So yea, even that is useless lol

I think that actually might be quite useful, for something like programming reflow solder temperature profiles.

You know, for reflowing defective NVidia GPUs

I'd rather have an Nvidia fridge - Imagine the cooling that'd have!!!

You know what - I would have been right on board with you, until I bought two of these about 6 months ago, as it worked out cheaper to buy a twin pack of them from Amazon.de, than buy the models down from Amazon UK.

Since using them, both my fiancée and I have noticed we are brushing our teeth for a full 2 minutes much more often - the ability to see on a display how far through the 2 minute cycle you are is much more encouraging than you might imagine.

(With regards to the iPhone app however, that's just one step too far - absolutely no interest in looking at my teeth brushing schedule over the past month!)
