Why do we need to connect a freezer to the internet in the first place?

@Wouter @drwho @malwaretech Because you made the mistake of buying a "smart freezer" and cannot set the temperature without an online account with the vendor. Same idea as HP+ printers that refuse to print without being connected online to HP and using their "instant ink" program that monitors what you print supposedly just to compute when to send you ink and bill you for it.
