My dad has a very nice heated jacket. It’s powered by a standard electric power tool rechargeable battery pack. It has a simple button control. It does not need Internet or a subscription, and I can’t think of any way Internect connectivity could actually improve such a thing.

Yeah, I mean tech companies don’t really care about improving things lol. If they come out with smart clothes it won’t be because they’re better than non smart clothes, it’ll be because they think suckers will pay. Like, there’s no reason for fridges or washers and dryers to be “smart”, and yet they exist
Indeed. Like that “smart bed” that wound up in the news. I don’t want smart junk, everything in my home that isn’t alive or meant to be used as a computer should be dumber than a brick. (And sometimes I’m pretty sure my mum’s cat is that dumb.)
