Useless IoT item of the weekend

This just won't die, no matter how hard I try: people keep inventing square wheels and connecting them to t'interwebs. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: SMALT: The IoT Salt dispenser[^] Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear ...

WHAT? No Shake Weight incorporation??? You've got to be kidding me! What type of stupid idiot would leave out such basic functionality??? :doh: :doh: :doh: At the minimum, use the power generated to run the other functions when the electricity goes out! And get healthier at the same time! Come on, now! The name is hinted at in the item being replaced - salt Shaker! Dummys! I guess it is time to get into some IoT and make the big bucks.

Ah! So! I see the idea, but you aren't taking it quite far enough. You shake a salt cellar to dispense salt, yes? So what this needs is a "shake to charge" system. Given that the dispense is motorised, quarter of an hour of shaking should provide enough charge to dispense salt for one person (and run the WiFi for a while). :-D

I don't know what's worst... that someone came with the idea... or that it already raised almost $10k
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Useless IoT item The whole thing is useless. Unless they all agree to give it back it's simple, original name "Embedded". :-O
Full Reset
It's worse than that: "Embedded" software was useful! :laugh:

OH FFS! Really? This is why we can't have nice things. EVERYTHING has to have a battery in it, be rechargeable, and WiFi connected?! It'll be on a few tables for a week and then the land fill! What's next? A :elephant:ing pencil sharpener!?!? Simple things should be left SIMPLE!
