I guess I’m getting old, but I really miss the days when a computer and other consumer electronics were just useful tools, instead of the hideout of privacy-invading, overzealous, often superfluous personal assistants that connect to data-hungry corporations. 🫀

@metin it's bad enough but the base utility of these devices is dropping! I have to wait for my TV to 'boot' now - "Smart dashboard loading..."
@zorrobandito Yeah, those smart TVs scare me. I’ve still got a plasma TV set from the mid-2000s, and really hope it will continue to work for many more years. πŸ˜“
@metin We need to ban this crap behavior via law. No other way it seems. Especially as most stuff is sneaky hidden.
