Nope same for me.
I want "dumb" devices that just do what their main goals are.
I have a "dumb" fridge, a "dumb" washing machine and even a "dumb" TV that is basically a big screen with some HDMI connectors.
Is is ok if in 2022 we don't actually want those smart devices ?
- xxpor 4y agoA dumb washing machine where dumb == not connected to wifi: I think most would agree. A dumb washing machine that doesn't sense the amount of clothes to pick the right amount of water: What is it, 1972 still?
- iancmceachern 4y agoExactly. Even in a "dumb" TV there are dozens of ics, lots of complexity that we don't see. Removing the smart TV part removes the equivalent of a roku stick worth of components. It doesn't change the calculus, it's a red hering. Ok, so you remove 4 ics out of 100, still in the same boat.
- tintor 4y agoI believe instead of word "dumb" you mean "aligned with customer": doesn't steal their data, doesn't extract more money from them, doesn't deny them service, doesn't prevent repair
