Optional or not, a toothbrush should never have connectivity via Bluetooth, an app or an online account.

I can see valid reasons for connectivity, it's cheaper than a screen and parents could use it to monitor brushing habits,(hook it into home assistant?)

But absolutely no go on having anything online

Why not? As long as you retain control of your data I don't see any issue with it. As I mentioned, home assistant integration is one use case. Obviously someone cared enough to write an integration for it.

Lmao. Its oral b, you def arent maintaining control of your data

[–] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The data is getting to my home assistant and no further. If you use the app, you're not maintaining control. Connectivity in smart devices isn't inherently bad, but people need to be educated about how to take ownership of their data.
