I’ll start: printers.
I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn’t sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.
Luckily my library’s close by and I can print there remotely.
TVs. I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I want to set up a Linux based streaming box and have my actual TV completely offline.
Honestly TVs were the original “insidious technology”. I always hated advertising and the constant brainwashing. After going off to study and watching movies and shows on a PC for a few years, coming back home and seeing a TV run in the background is so fucking grotesque. And that was before they added extra ads lol.
I have a TCL/Roku that I’m not inclined to replace yet. I got tired of the “smart” thing fast. Most successful solution to take it offline without being nagged was to change the wifi password and tape over the flashing status light. Disconnecting wifi by settings either forces or dark-patterns you into reconnecting.
