It warms my heart to see how angry people get about subscriptions more and more.

Sadly, people are only getting more local without stopping paying for them.

Open source means ownership. Trust means ready to be exploited. Proprietary is always theft of ownership.

Meh, I never used the app, I just set the temp on it when I turned it on since it's, you know, right there in my hands...

I dont think I even have the app on my phone

[–] WhatAmLemmy 3 points 2 months ago

I tend to avoid any hardware that uses an app, as there's often little info about whether it's required, and there's always the possibility they could make it required or brick your device in future.

A sous vide is the last device in the world you need to be smart. Set the temp, turn it on and leave it for between an hour and a week. Turn off and serve.

The subscription fee will only apply to people who make an account after August 21. Those who downloaded the app and made an account before August 21 won't have to pay.

Yeah. I'm not paying that money for something with absolutely rubbish wifi

Not sure if they ever fixed it, but in the past, you couldn't even add them to the wifi network unless you turned off any secondary APs.

I stopped using the app because it is a pain to get going. But there are much cheaper ones on Amazon

This Sous Vide Cooker is about to apply a Cricut(tm) Move.

No one should be using these anyway. Everyone rags on Keurig for how wasteful it is and how much plastic it adds to landfills and probably your coffee, but no one seems to talk about how this does the same thing :/

Only if you vacuum seal, you dont have to.

You can use re-useable silicone bags

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Plus they are about 20x cheaper to cook with than an oven in terms of energy efficiency

This highlights the neckbeardedness of lemmy. Bullshit boil in a bag "cuisine"

Nope, wildly wrong lol

Fancy restaurant tool that became a home appliance.

It's actually a really good way to cook huge chunks of meat in particular
