I am an software engineer, grew up with the rise of computers, love them.
I don’t want smart things. No touch screens on appliances, fridges, ovens, cars. I don’t want my monitor to be smart.

If you’re giving your printers arms and fingers, that’s on you.

I prefer to not have a printer in the house. 😄

Agreed. Why do I need my fridge to be able to tell me the weather? Just keep my shit cold.

I think it’s telling that the more one knows about software, the less that they want it in their lives.
