I am an software engineer, grew up with the rise of computers, love them.
I don’t want smart things. No touch screens on appliances, fridges, ovens, cars. I don’t want my monitor to be smart.
I think it’s telling that the more one knows about software, the less that they want it in their lives.
Can I interest you in some AI hype? New in box!
Finally bought myself a tv last year, and you would not believe the look on the guys face when I said “No I want a dumb tv”. It was the same look I got when I first moved to ca and ordered a smoothie with no boba… like I had just shot somebody.

Check out commercial displays, they’re more expensive but higher quality and don’t do anything creepy.
Commercial displays often aren’t better quality in the way that a consumer wants. They’re usually intended for static images, quick and simple animations, and for being kept on 24/7, not for high quality video and audio.
Do you keep a gun next to your printer in case it makes a noise you don’t recognize?
That’s the mark of a true cs student/programmer/software engineer
The hardware guys have it easy.
Are you fucking insane? next to it? Where it could use it to shoot me??
If you’re giving your printers arms and fingers, that’s on you.
I prefer to not have a printer in the house. 😄
Agreed. Why do I need my fridge to be able to tell me the weather? Just keep my shit cold.
