You&#x27;re right but you won&#x27;t have a choice. Many devices will require connection to the internet to be configured, and you won&#x27;t always know ahead of time what they are because most people won&#x27;t care enough to put it in a review. For example it drives me crazy that my washing machine beeps for over an hour when it&#x27;s done... I don&#x27;t care - just stop making that noise... However, it&#x27;s impossible to search for &quot;doesn&#x27;t beep like crazy&quot; when buying a new product on amazon.
