How dare you! - Lemmy.World

To solve this problem, I’m thinking of just getting a dumb phone again, and maybe throwing out all of my other electronics. Actually, I’ll have to just move to the middle of the woods somewhere with no electricity to get actual privacy.

Man this sucks. I wish we could all just mind our own business.

idk. i think you just don’t neet all the “smart” devices in your hut in the woods. electricity is fine. we had solar panels in dumb calculators and dumb watches for >20 years. plus the dumb stuff needs even less electricity and is easy to repair. you can have a dumb mixer, dumb fridge, dumb washing machine, dumb dishwasher and a vacuum, just not a roomba that scans your home while it cleans.
Funny you mention dumb devices.I’ve been searching for a dumb TV now for a bit, can’t find them anymore. It’s So annoying that everything is connected to the internet now. I don’t need my entire life hooked into the internet.

yeah, anything media is hard to get without “smart” stuff, but you don’t need the bluetooth enabled shaver, trust me.

i also bought a tv/monitor recently and the size and features i wanted were only available on a smart one, but i never connected it to the web. it just complains about it in a grey box top right every start. it probably uses a bit more electricity, because of a proper CPU running all the time.

How else mega corps are going to find out my ballsack shaving schedule?
😄 It’s significant for when to show you more balls related ads on the big screen of the smart TV 😆
