What induction stove did you get? All the ones that have good reviews start around $3k which is way too high for my budget.

I bought a Samsung 6.3 cubic foot - NE63B8411SS. It was $1600 Canadian (on sale - looks to be $1900 now / regular) at Home Depot. The reviews I read were good, and it’s been fantastic. The only thing I wish is that the app would allow me to set the temperature to preheat without physically being at the stove - sometimes I’d love to get it started in advance. Give me a safety warning or something to remind me that I should have ensured nothing was inside the oven in advance…
Requiring initial physical interaction reduces the attack surface, even once the attackers have gotten a toehold.
Yeah, I know this is the argument but if I can open my garage via app, change my thermostat via app, unlock doors via app, etc etc etc, I don’t see what the difference is. If the response is that an oven can get hot, I guess it should be designed so that it can’t get so hot as to cause a fire, in which case it is as dangerous (in terms of potential for an attacker to cause damage/loss) as several of the other examples I’ve given.
