How about, Fuck No?
It's such a shame. All of this stuff would be useful and amazing in an ideal world, where every company was forced into using interoperable standards, no one was harvesting your personal data, and no one was taking deals to promote specific options for profit.
It’s 2024. Fuck the hype "future tech" from the past: the jetpacks, hoverboards, flying cars etc. Where are all the quality of life improvements technology was supposed to bring?
Like, it's how many years since voice assistants became a thing, and as far as I know the first real useful option for a locally hosted non-data siphoning one is what the Home Assistant project rolled out last year. That still needs a good bunch of hands on tinkering to be useful, and even more to be able to use it outside your home.
I don't want smart appliances. I don't even want a smart TV.
I'm not even sure I want to be however smart I am the way things are going. I think I'd rather just be happy I'm not on fire or something.
Agreed, as soon as a diy company starts making affordable CRTs with modern I/O, I'll invest every penny I can
CRTs? What's the advantage there, other than nostalgia?
The ability to play Duck Hunt, surely.
Modern TVs hurt my eyes after a while, but CRTs don't for some reason. Plus, I like the display more. As I type this, my eyes are bloodshot and tearing up from looking at my tv for a couple hours
Faster refresh rate, good for gaming, I'm told. Older games actually look better with scanlines. I haven't seen any appreciable difference with the input lag tho.
120Hz would have been a fantastic refresh rate when I was using CRTs, and 240 would be unthinkable. I can understand nostalgia for older games, but I can't imagine other benefits vs. modern flat panel.
I used to love smart things. I don't have the give a shit to set up a local voice assistant and do not trust the companies who put out smart things. So now I have the smart bulbs and can turn the lights on and off with an app, but nothing else.
It'd be amazing, if I could run it all locally and keep my data to myself, using open source software and open standards.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Oh sorry, you were serious? Yeah, no, ain't gonna happen. We're talking Samsung, was once great, now it sucks and wants your data
Eh, no I wasn't talking about Samsung. I was talking about the concept.
Me: Let's have some ice cream
Fridge:
Well not so fast is it going to do the cooking? /s
