    Get ready to buy good quality, inexpensive refrigerators, without tech connectivity. Automatically adding tech to everything, just because it is new and shiny, isn’t always the right way to build your products. It sure fucked up the car industry.

      Those will die off soon enough, through forced obsolescence and an inability to compete with ad-subsidised junk that spies on you.

        All the terrible touch features they’re adding to cars these days makes me think a brand new car today would go obsolete before a 10 year old used car with 100k miles. New cars are unrepairable because of how complicated they are.
