The Verge has published a column arguing that the smart home market is filling up with abandoned products, using the June oven as its latest example. Devices that once promised connected convenience are being discontinued or losing software support, leaving buyers with hardware that stops working. The piece is resonating with readers who have grown wary of internet-connected appliances that depend on company servers and ongoing corporate commitment.

Why now: Readers are frustrated by yet another smart home product shutting down, renewing debate over whether internet-dependent appliances are worth buying.
