It's time to start developing the NoScript/UBlock of the future, which will hopefully be able to block all the ads running in cars, fridges, shops, floating drones, sidewalks etc.

  Aren't those just faraday cages?

    You can't realistically put a Faraday cage around your car's spying module.

        Good luck finding a Faraday cage without a built in LTE modem these days.

    “Jamming” normally means interfering with a radio signal by broadcasting on that same frequency at a higher power. As opposed to something passive like a faraday cage to stop signal getting in to a given area.

Or for the entrepreneurs and investors to actually invest in low-tech products again; most kitchen appliances only need some solid state chips to control displays and programs and the like.

  problem is that low tech products disappear from shelves. its almost impossible to buy a dumb tv anymore.

    You can still buy a 4k projector without any of the BS.
    - ekianjo 4y ago
      Thats not a TV. But I agree its a good alternative.
      - goldenkey 4y ago
        It's better than a TV imho. If one really wants to make it as similar to a TV as possible, they can ceiling mount a short throw projector and paint the target wall with special non-reflective paint. It'll appear as if the picture is coming right from the wall.

    Shouldn't the old supply-and-demand sort that out?

      From what I've seen in IRL stores, there's no interest in dumb TVs. Everyone wants smart TVs, and I haven't seen any new TV that was dumb.

Goddamnit. I already had to listen to a bunch of ads while I pumped gas today. At one point, they were giving health advice. Fuck you. Health advice from a gas station, where there's nothing inside the store but shit that will kill you? And you're pumping gas, sniffing fumes that will kill you, then will be burned and will kill you some more. Fuck. And yes, I did try pressing all the known mute buttons.
