Lol. As a software engineer, give me the non-smart version of every appliance, home feature, and television. It’s why I went with a projector over a TV.
Classic!
smart tv: what is my purpose?
me: HDMI 1
Which projector do you use?
I use an Epson and just hook up Roku for streaming or use a nearby PC. It has Android TV, but I never use it.
Wait, so you got a projector to avoid the smart features of a tv, but the projector has the smart features anyways, you just don’t use them?
What was the point of getting a projector over a tv?
For the size/space, and portability. Plus I’m an Android Developer, so I can play around with the Android stuff and disable a lot of stuff if needed. And I use it to test some of my apps. But never for anything else. But it is far better than the garbage that is Samsung by miles. It’s streets ahead.
Unfortunately lots of affordable projectors are also “smart” these days, running some kind of Android TV
How long until we have no real choice? The vast majority of TVs are smart TVs now
I once asked why anybody would want a smart fridge. Most people didn’t seem to know. The most common answer was that it could act as a focal point for a busy family for keeping track of things like appointments.
So, like a blackboard/whiteboard, cork board, or even a normal fridge, some paper, and magnets.
I’m no Luddite. I’ve got smart lamps so i can change the lighting in my living room & bedroom without getting up. And I’m looking into heating so i can have my heating come on when i leave work, rather than at a specific time. That saves effort and money.
But i just see no reason whatsoever for anybody to have a smart fridge.
“Start watching”, like anyone would wanna watch a series on their fridge, lol
Right? That’s what my Samsung smartwatch is for
Dave , Daaaave . You’ve had too much ice cream tonight Dave. Eat some vegetables Dave, they are good for you

We need individual names and faces of executives, publicly linking them to their deeds.
“The corporation” didn’t do it.
They didn’t do it because “it’s their job”
They had a “screw humans over” button in front of them and knowingly pushed it when they themselves know they didn’t have to.
Corporations cannot act. People can, and they are the ones responsible.
Kill it with fire
It’s our fault for buying these pieces of shit.
I only know about this thing because louis rossman made a video on it and it’s just… Do you really go to your fridge to watch movies or listen to music? Do you really need cameras on the inside of your fridge? It’s so weird
