Literally every IoT device! These things are terrible. My dishwasher can't wash dishes once it does a software update. My TV spies on me and shows me targeted ads. Every useless piece of hardware has a microphone and camera in it.... Heck, I've spent countless days breaking the microphones and cameras on my new "smart" devices before I feel comfortable using them.
Even after spending thousands of dollars on a car, I'm not allowed to install alternative privacy friendly firmware on it.
It's bad enough that there are AI-powered cameras with facial recognition everywhere, but thanks to HD cameras in every $100 phone, it's hard to walk in a public place without being in the background of an Instagram story.
Everyone is spying on me and every damn "smart" device is turned against me..
- nathanaldensr 4y agoWhy do you keep presumably buying these devices?
- silverPoodle 4y agoThere aren't much alternatives anymore. If I go to a physical shop I won't get any dumb dishwasher anymore. That's how I got my current "smart" one.
- cudgy 4y agoAgreed. Smart TVs are at the top of my list of hated IoT devices. Why can’t one just buy a dumb tv terminal to do what a tv was designed for … display images?
