    They need if they were to push firmware updates via the app that are then installed over Bluetooth, like some headphones do. But that should be a free service, and also optional. I don’t really see any groundbreaking functionality added for a device that’s basically a submerged motor with a temperature probe.

      It’s a decade old cooking appliance .

      What possible firmware updates could it need at this point?

      Firmware updates should not cost a subscription fee and could open them up to lawsuits.

      This can literally be handled with two non-microprocessor integrated circuits and $5 in other electronic Lego components.

      It doesn’t need firmware. It’s a $200 oversized fish tank heater.
