Oh gawd. Another one ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present BRITA Infinity[^] - the WiFi water jug?
Yes, that's right, all you have to do is give it full access to your network, hand it your Amazon login and purchase details, and it will order water filters whenever it feels like it! What could possibly go wrong?

Right
And since you bought filters we thought you might be interested in fur lined electric socks so we've included a pair in this delivery.

Ohk. And do you want this[^] to be added to your order as well? It can count brush strokes and measure the force applied to the hair and the scalp when brushing..!!!
Try to find out fool in a deal. If you can't find one, it's you.

Has a microphone that listens while you brush for such things as; whether you're cheating on your spouse, refer to extortion department and whether you're using the product appropriately, nagagator comes to mind.

I have one that is useful, and can think of one other.
You can tell your Sky recorder to record a program from your phone via an app, which could be useful - if there was enough worth watching to actually record something...
I have a WiFi Sous Vide, so in theory I could set it going on my way home, and have food ready when I walked in. Which is good, and useful. But ... the software is a pile of sheep poo. Basically for me it only works if I am in the same room, as soon as the phone sleeps - which it does often - the WiFi link breaks and you have to reestablish it via Bluetooth to get it working again. Which means pressing a button on the actual unit, negating the whole sodding idea.
They are apparently working on this. But then, they have been for months so I'm not expecting results at all soon ...

But that is the whole thing... half-baked ideas and devices thrown out onto the market... some "ripe" there, others just "rot"  Looks like you've got one that's slowly rotting

They missed out the most important part of the whole process - disposing of the old filter and replacing it with the new.
Adding one more item to my supermarket shopping list isn't exactly difficult; remembering to replace the filter at the right time, OTOH...

I had an image with text on, and I thought "that's a nice font - I wonder what it is?"
So I googled for "identify font from image" and this came up: Identify Fonts - The Font Squirrel Matcherator[^] - you drop an image on it, it finds the text, and it says "could be one of these..." complete with download links.
And right at the top was what I was looking for. Impressive work, chaps - your site is now on my uBlock whitelist.

There was another called "What The Font", but it got renamed/taken over. I think Google could still find it. Very useful for identifying venue slogan/logo fonts for ticket printing.

Tomahawk[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I think someone who invents a new cancer scalpel should name it the "TumorHawk".

I had a discussion with my wife about band names that involved berries. We came up with a few and then we opened it up a little to names involving fruits and vegetables too. Here are the ones we came up with :
The Cranberries
The Raspberries
Strawberry Alarm Clock
Wild Cherry
Blackberry Smoke
Buckcherry
The Cherry Poppin Daddies
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tangerine Dream
Does anyone have additions to the list?

I/we purposefully avoid Google in trying to think of them but what ever.
Damn, I should have thought of Moby Grape because my former band opened up for them once.
