The unsmart ones last longer and are more reliable.

@alice Apparently a service is "smart" because its designers thought they knew years ago what you want at any given moment better than you do. Customisation? Device ownership? Individual needs? What?

@alice the anti ai rant leads you to a place where you are compromised and it is just a negative space, i'd rather go hybrid and look at things a bit more realistically and subjectively

@alice my fridge and my television would like you to know there is nothing to worry about. My toaster started giggling, but I’m not sure why.
@KiloNiner @alice If my fridge wants to go on the internet, I tell it to read a book instead.

@alice Have a couple things that require interwebs access (e.g. home solar), so I created a separate VLAN for the Internet of Shit stuff to minimize impact to my home network.
I dread the day I have to replace my old TV - my plan is to buy a large computer monitor instead though I expect it will be more expensive. -
There are so very many modern "conveniences" I feel deeply grateful to not have.
I am very glad to have a stand mixer and a fridge and running water, those are pretty damn convenient.

@SnowyCA we've got a bunch of secondhand DVDs, and none of the older ones have ads, but the closer you get to like the 2000s, the worse the ads get.

@eestileib Yes but there is no good reason for any of those to connect to the Internet
