The only reason I can think of why a fridge should be connected to WiFi is to notify you if the door is left open, or the temperature is too high.

Digital display for thermostat/thermometer is nice.

Party Mode is convenient when adding large amounts of beverages (or leftovers) as it temporarily changes the compressor setpoint/cycle for a couple of hours in expectation of heavy usage.

Night mode / vacation mode can similarly change the compressor working profile to be either more quiet or energy efficient at times when it’s not expecting the door to open for extended periods of time.

None of these are essential features of a fridge, but they can be convenient.

One of the reasons The Prodigy holds up so we’ll is that the synth guy refused to copy/paste basic background loops.

If a beat pattern is repeated 40 times, he manually entered it 40 times into the software.

This to avoid lazily repeating basic loops for longer than they were pleasing to listen to, and force himself to think about every detail about the music he wrote.

VPN only works once you’re connected to a network (WiFi or cellular). If your phone doesn’t support the frequencies used by the cellular network operators in the country you’re visiting it can’t connect to the phone network.

This used to be a much bigger problem 10 years ago, but depending on where you’re going might still be worth looking into.

Sushi grade salmon seared for a few seconds is delicious.

(Take a chunk of salmon loin. Cut in finger thick slices. Sear in oil/butter for 5-10 seconds on each side. Enjoy the combination of fried and raw salmon.)

So, you get the benefits of a baked potato without having to bake a potato? Sounds like a win-win situation in a fast food scenario.

The worst about those is that they only give you 6 questions to choose from, and all of them are really bad as security questions.

They should have had a list of at least 20 to choose from. Preferably the ability to enter your own as well.

You forgot Africa and all the Mexican countries.

It’s called “Dictator Chic”.
