Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State
TWeaK@lemmy.today 1 day agoI was looking for a new TV last month, the salesman said it was “sacrilege” when I told him I had no intention of connecting the TV to the internet or using its online functions since I will have a media PC connected to it. I was just interested in the quality of the screen.

I was looking for a phone that didn’t have a camera. I told him I already have a camera that is NOT a phone.
He was aghast.

They definitely make them, but it’s mostly for the government. I don’t know if you can get and use one outside of their contract.

Did you find one?

Well, sort of. I’m now using Google Voice as a land-line.
For portability I have a personal Hot-Spot and an old iPad that is NOT chipped for phones. I can use the iPad’s browser to get to my Google Voice account.
I can get voice and pictures and text but for the most part it’s at HOME.

For portability I think I would use an older android phone loaded with your OS choice.
The iPad and phone both have cameras anyway just the phone is lighter. Keep it no sim and in airplane mode

I had to revert the firmware on a TV because it effectively bricked itself when the software was no longer supported. I don’t connect these things to the Internet. They will simply display what I tell them to.
