For the love of Bob I'm begging people to stop putting unnecessary electronics in fucking everything.
My new fridge has a screen, with capacitive buttons that don't even seem to always do the same thing. So no adjusting the fridge for me. Then, more egregiously, I got a water filter jug, and it has a tiny screen in it, for some reason.

I love gadgets, but this is just fucking silly. Mountains and mountains of ewaste and it's all this sort of useless shit.
