Personal gallery of all "smart" electronics I've seen failing around me.

Everything is a piece of crap; Programmed by people under time press. Not tested thoroughly. Full of race conditions. This is the world we live in.

Some cases not caught here:

Kitchen cooker in need of restart (that really was wtf, as it happened in the middle of cooking).

Kettle for boiling water in need of restart (it has fancy features like showing temperature).

Air conditioning unit that refuses to generate cold air until restarted.

Smartwatches.

Smart IoT light bulbs refusing to work until I upgraded them. They have their needs, you see, like a little baby.

Washing machine

You put the clothes in, start a program, let it work for an hour and when you come to get the clothes, this is what you get:
