      Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
 - ...credible sources, with...
 - ...their original headlines, that...
 - ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
 
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I'll take "things that shouldn't need an internet connection to function properly" for 800, Alex
The entire world of home IoT devices shouldn't need an Internet connection. They should be able to work entirely based off of local network requests or other local connections (e.g. Zigbee or Thread).
I think it was a lot more than $800.
