I'm sure there's an untapped market for "Dumb" tech. Bonus points for repairable, dumb tech.

No AI assistants, no Internet connection, no DRM or login needed.

Just a toaster that makes toast, a TV that plays only what you put in it, with repair kits, spare parts available, easy to reach guts and accessible schematics, diagrams and instructions.

I know I'd buy no other brands if just one offered that to me.

Toot

@pezmico recently I have been getting recommendation requests from folks for dumb tech.

Tvs and phones have been on the tops of those lists.

Products that serve no one but you.

Also requests for old gear that was built before the "downfall of the internet".

Following on from that had a discussion with folks referencing dates to "BG", yes, thats right Before Google. Also with references dates "AG".

The debate was should be from google's creation or their abandoning of "don't be evil".
