you can still have this, you just have to not buy the shit things
the only thing i’m aware of that has no non-shit option anymore is TVs, but then who the fuck watches TV anymore?
Everything is a problem

I use a 40" for a PC monitor and dual-monitor setup to watch movies on the 55".
But you’re right. My wife and I keep talking about putting spare TVs in the kid’s rooms, but they wouldn’t watch them anyway.

Hello fellow old person. I too miss things that just work.

I’m road tripping through northern Europe. Staying at Airbnbs and every fucking tv is a smart tv and not one can I pick up a remote and start surfing channels. And if I find tv most of them are slow to react. So it’s press ch+ wait 5 seconds on black screen see that it’s in a language I don’t know and press again.

Do people under 60 still have flow TV? Why would you sit though a bunch of commercials to let other people decide what you are going to watch?
Streaming is becoming shit but for now it’s still better than flow TV.

I carry a Fire TV stick with me that accesses my Jellyfin server. Just connect it to the internet and you’re good to go.

I used a normal wired phone the other day.
I picked it up and called people.
It blew my mind.

chunes@lemmy.world 10 months ago
click the calls app and click the contact
Two things you don’t have to do on a dedicated phone. I bet you had to unlock your phone first, too.

The government uninstalled my phone app and punished me to only receive calls from spammers and old people.
I don’t notice much of a change on the last part.

No you don’t understand, you can’t do that anymore. Because um, everything is actually really bad and enshittified. Wait you bought a not-smart TV to avoid the wifi and ads and such? Um yeah you can’t do that… same with kitchen appliances and everything else. You HAVE to get the wifi version so you can complain online.
I had to watch a 45 minute ad to post this

I love some connected devices, and own a LOT of them, but some things are just stupid. I don’t need my blender to be connected. Washer, dryer? Unless it’s going to move my laundry from one to the other, nope. Stove, wtf? I have to go stir anyway so who gives a crap.
Mandrilleren@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I like my washer and dryer being connected. I can load it in the evening a set my Home Assistant to start it when the price on power is low.
The other things I agree with

I would like em too, but only if they allowed local only without any accounts beforehand.

how often is your electricity provider changing rate timing?
this could easily be done on the device itself with a timer/schedule
