Watches

I never saw the point of them. I don’t see the problem with analog or digital watches. Everything is regressed to a tiny square of a screen, that you barely look at. I just find it as an unnecessary distraction.

Light Bulbs

I work in retail and I stock these things all of the time. We have light bulbs, that are smart now because why? They’re stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.

Kitchen Appliances

I’m bundling them all here.

There is nothing you’re gaining an advantage of, when slapping a screen on any appliance and relying on some unsupported app on your phone for basic functions.

    Anyone else get use GadgetBridge instead of the respective brand’s app? It goes a long way into keeping your usage data private IMO.

    We got a Air Pictionary game where you can draw in the air but displays on TV, but that requires an app WITH a user account to go along with it… So it’s sitting unused because I’m not signing up for your stupid app that’s harvesting my data!
