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.

I am part of this market and do reviews of what I buy on that fronts to help others who are into it too.

For example, a post about going from an Apple Watch to a “dumb” and durable Casio Watch

I also did one about how I “dumbified” my ereader and how it made it much more pleasant to use

@thibaultamartin @pezmico @nitot interesting read! Have you tried KoReader? I’m a happy user on my Kobo Libra H2O 🙂

It’s compatible with @wallabag for reading articles later which I find excellent.
