For those who are interested, here’s the WSJ article on smart TVs I mentioned earlier. It’s behind a paywall though. We’ve got a regular 50” HD tv we bought just over 2 years ago and a 4K 55” Ultra HD smart TV we scored on a deal last year. Again though, my wife’ just finds it easier to connect

Exactly. Between the ridiculous cost, the built-in obsolescence, the security risks if it’s connected to the Internet, it just does not make sense. Honestly, if they made appliances talk, I would not have a problem interacting with them up close and personal, never mind Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or anyth

I’m not even going to argue over the point of a fridge being smart. I mean, personally, I think it’s dumb or at least hype, but that’s just me. I’m incredulous over the idea of a smart range or washer/dryer. After all, someone’s got to put the clothes or food in them. No app or smartphone’s ever

Christopher, the amount of time saved by being able to use a washer as a post to handwashing and then using a ringer to dry is exponential. You’re probably not old enough to remember that. A smart refrigerator is stupid. I’m sorry, but nobody needs to have the contents of the refrigerator displa

This attitude has always perplexed me. I don't see people complaining about clothes washers so they don't have to wash everything by hand, or clothes dryers so they don't have to hang their clothes on a clothes line, or dishwashers so they don't have to wash their dishes by hand, or TV remotes

hi, I’ve had my Whirlpool dishwasher since 1992. It still works like a charm. When you buy new appliances these days, they don’t last as long as the older ones do now. Anyway, just thought I would put my two cents in. Thanks. Esther Sent From Esther’s Amazing and Awesome iPhone 7+! > On Jan 23,

Hi Sandy, After you delete a text message, do you get the prompt asking if you would like to delete this conversation, or something along that line? I'm running an S E iPhone with 12.1.2 and whenever I delete a text I get this prompt so I swipe right 1 time, double tap and that thread is gone

Sherry, Hide Alert is supposed to get rid of the sound alerting you that a new message has come in. Perhaps when you changed the setting and still got the sound, you had the person re-text you too quickly for the change to take effect? I am speculating here. I have a different objection t
