Tired of my tvs no longer updating to the latest software, tired of my phone no longer connecting to my car, tired of my few years old tech being considered legacy and no longer supported. Can anyone suggest non-android, non-apple, non-AI, non-connected, non-smart 'dumb' tech you've bought that makes a difference in your life? Should be hardy enough to last maybe 20 years (my even older plasma tv is still going on strong with a beautiful tv and forward firing speakers, while my newer Samsung lcd stopped receiving updates) and just do it's job. I can live without mu ai enabled washer telling me how to wash my clothes.

Wired headphones. I like that they just plug into whatever without syncing, are cheap, light, and last basically forever. Of course I need a dongle for the vast majority of modern phones, but I a have a sturdy solid dongle and other than the annoyance of having to carry it with me (and using the word "dongle" to describe it) it works quite nicely. A wire clip is also a necessity.

Wired headphones are superior to Bluetooth in every way. I still lament the day major phone manufacturers got rid of the 3.5 Jack.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you Apple. Eat shit and die.

Omg! Look everyone apple did a thing we should do the same because we're all money grubbing greedy bastards at heart.
