About this listen
Due to a coding problem with Alexa, you are hearing this description instead of the actual episode of It's Embert! While they try to figure this out, if they ever do, please look for It's Embert on Spotify where you can listen to this and all other episodes. Thank you for your patience while some engineer that put a colon where a bracket should be figures out what they did wrong at Alexa HQ.
Embert’s blowing a fuse over smart appliances that aren’t so smart.
From toasters with settings that require a tutorial to fridges that want your Wi-Fi password, he’s had it with modern “convenience.”
In this one:
The washing machine that sends text messages
The fridge that can stream music but not chill milk
The rise of surveillance kitchenware
And why Embert misses the glory of buttons, knobs, and things that just worked
If you’ve ever had to download a firmware update to make toast, this episode will soothe your analog soul.
New episodes drop regularly, or whenever Embert finishes yelling at the dryer for asking for his location.
Bonus! Embert has no way to end the recording so goes on for several more minutes before "pushing a button" that either launches a nuke or ends the recording.
