       It's interesting that, the more I learn about modern technologies, the less I want them.

       @shoo Things like (but not limited to):- smart home.- "features" in my car (like heated seats, fancy dashboards, bluetooth audio).- high-refresh rate phones with OLED and alike.

       @finlaydag33k Do agree, some of them are annoying.*looks at the robotic vacuum cleaner* , but others can be very convenient . Home lighting works great

       @shoo Ye fair.Though even lights I'd rather not... mainly because my wifi is hilariously unstable for *some* reason.

       @finlaydag33k yep those things depend on a few things to work properly... I suppose flipping a switch sometimes is better option

       @shoo Aye... And also it's always kind of a thing of: "will they get updated"?Seen plenty of times that smart devices had gaping security holes but never got patched up :\

       @finlaydag33k @shoo until security is more of a common feature among IoT devices, I won't even consider owning any.  Why would I create needless vulnerabilities in my home network, when I could just flip a switch on my way into a room?  I've also heard of firmware issues being a nightmare, oftentimes.  I've had a total of 0 issues with installing and operating traditional light switches

       @fcktheworld587 Ya know... If You manage to have firmware issues on a traditional light switch, you might as well tattoo "most incompetent person on the planet" on your forehead :^)@shoo
