I once ordered a WiFi-enabled automatic dog feeder because I had to attend a work thing for a few days, and I wanted a guaranteed way for my dog to get fed at a reasonable time (in case of an unreliable dog-sitter).
Coincidentally, lightning fried my modem the day before the feeder was delivered, and I discovered that the feeder is incapable of working without Internet.
So, there exists a product that is 100% dependent on the functionality of some remote servers and all of the infrastructure that connects the feeder to them, or the dog doesn't eat. Horrible design/engineering.
