Hot dog or not hot dog?

On a serious note this could have been a neat product, but I'm not really interested in an oven that's packed with telemetry and proprietary software. They can't possible expect to satisfy all of their customers' use cases in house, so why not make it open source and let people write their own cooking scripts?

I create a cooking script that unintentionally that burns my house down. June now has a PR disaster.

I think a hacker randomly shuffling which cooking script to use could cause quite the chaotic / dangerous experience.

I thought this too but I don't know if the original commenter meant that people could program their own oven or share those oven programs.

That would be an interesting take on recipes and help a lot of people with the "when do I take it out" problem. It would be an interesting site to share all of the scripts / recipes combos.

I'm working on a recipe app. Maybe I will be able to integrate that into the application.

So, there is an app to control the oven with an interesting FAQ:

Can I use the June Oven without the iOS mobile app?

The June Oven will still be functional and does not require the iOS app to work. However, the app is designed to enhance your cooking experience. With the June app, you can adjust cook settings, view a live-steam video of your food cooking and view details of previous cook sessions.

I'm a bit curious what details are available from my previous "cook sessions". I am not convinced that having my oven hooked to an app for basic operations is a security positive thing for my home.

email from your health insurance "Your oven has reported cook sessions that involve more brownies and beef than allowed in your current plan. Based on your genetics, these allowances are established for your optimal health. To continue coverage please upgrade your insurance plan to allow for higher brownie and beef limits."

Oh yes, big data is just going to be so much fun with the combo of internet connected appliances with cameras / sensors. I am reminded of a thread earlier on HN[1] talking a about a breakup captured on a fitbit with my reaction[2] including a big data angle. I would guess the ACLU video[3] applies to your scenario.

Is there DRM on the bacon packages? You know, to protect customers from accidentally cooking stale food.
