    I despair

    Mrs Hogthrob has just bought herself some sort of illuminted 'smart' mirror thing. It has some sort of integrated tablet thing, and connects to the home wifi. I can't say I'm big on the idea of having an internet connected device with camera and microphone in the bedroom, but '"It's only a mirror". But it's better than that. If I put in my Amazon Prime account details, it can connect to Alexa for us! My wife sees nothing to worry about with any of this.

    Maybe I am missing something but why would someone have a mirror connected to wifi, what does it do?

    You and me both. Maybe it's like the Evil Queen's magic mirror in Snow White?

    OK, so it's one of these: https://www.himirror.com/eshop/eu_en...t/himirrormini


    I've read it, and I still can't understand why anyone would want one. My wife's critical faculties have obviously deteriorated markedly.

    £239? For a mirror?
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    To be fair, that's a bit like saying 'six grand, for a watch?'
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Yes, and at least it actually has more functions than a cheap one! Not like a typical six grand watch, where you've got a good one if it tells the time as accurately as a £13 Casio.

    Isn't it obvious? One can virtually try on frocks and the like in the privacy of one's own home. The image is perfectly superimposed on the reflected image. Then, if it suits, you just have to say "Alexa, I'll take it". Then, the next day it shows up.

    Best wishes,
    Bob

    It tracks your skincare, obvs. And you can buy the skincare management system. It's brilliant. (I wonder how you hack the cameras.)

    You could always knock it over when you make up the bed?

    Maybe it's prime function is to monitor and then order Viagra as required? Or, if it's on the ceiling it makes your ass look small???

    I'm perplexed as why people would willingly buy and install this stuff!
