      Probably, but if you want to improve your dental health, maybe some people find it useful to collect data.

      You can make the same case for a lot of personal data collection. A lot of it just seems silly excessive and pointless, but you’ll always find someone who wants to use the data somehow.

      My case of silly excess is notifications. I want all sorts of appliances to be able to notify me of current status and completion, probably including a rice cooker. One of my shortcut meals is chicken strips/breasts over rice: I can fill the rice cooker and air fryer, then go do something else for 20 minutes or so. How do I know when they’re done? It would be nice if it could tell me, then I don’t have to think about it or pay attention to it
