what the fuck is your mobile phone like? i just click the calls app and click the contact and bam i call the person
No you don't understand, you can't do that anymore. Because um, everything is actually really bad and enshittified. Wait you bought a not-smart TV to avoid the wifi and ads and such? Um yeah you can't do that.. same with kitchen appliances and everything else. You HAVE to get the wifi version so you can complain online.
I had to watch a 45 minute ad to post this

I love some connected devices, and own a LOT of them, but some things are just stupid. I don’t need my blender to be connected. Washer, dryer? Unless it’s going to move my laundry from one to the other, nope. Stove, wtf? I have to go stir anyway so who gives a crap.

The government uninstalled my phone app and punished me to only receive calls from spammers and old people.
I don't notice much of a change on the last part.

I went to a coffee shop yesterday that tried to tell me they only accepted orders through their app. I almost walked out, until the finally poured my coffee, but continued to give me shit about it, "ok but next time you have to use the app"
"Yea no. There will be no next time."

It used to be that when i got a new video game for Christmas, i could just put it into the GameCube/PS2 and play it. No need to wait for everyone to also try and download the 40gb update that morning.

Shit either has no buttons, with an capacitive touch surface, or if it has buttons, it's never immediate response, you have to press it for an extended amount of time.
it's fucking infuriating.

Two things you don't have to do on a dedicated phone. I bet you had to unlock your phone first, too.

I bought a fan the other day, cause it warm. Cheap as I could find. Plug the thing onto the wall, can't figure out how to get it working. Read the manual: I need an app. I download the app, logged in with Facebook (had to create a Facebook account, for I had none. It was the only option), filled a form with my information, agreed to the Terms of Services and Privacy Policy. Gave it location access, to connect to the fan. It needed a few other permissions, which I had to give it. Now I can turn the fan on and off, from my phone (the fan has none). I can set a direction, turn the spinning on or off. Set the RGB light colours. I can even give it an image, and it'll display on the fan as it spins (probably why they demand entire system file access). I can even turn it on and off from the Quick Settings Tile. And make some changes from there as well. All in all, I must say, this fan is defin

I rented a car, a Mercedes B class or something
Everytime I started it, it would ask me to sign up for some bullshit Mercedes service
Half the features of the car were disabled due to requiring subscriptionsI will NEVER buy that car nor rent it ever again

Looks like the fan hopped up and murdered OP before he could finish his post.

To be fair, I just bought a smart tv that has never touched the internet and doesn’t give me any problems. No prompts, no ads, just goes to my Apple TV and my steam deck.

you can still have this, you just have to not buy the shit things
the only thing i'm aware of that has no non-shit option anymore is TVs, but then who the fuck watches TV anymore?
I use a 40" for a PC monitor and dual-monitor setup to watch movies on the 55".
But you're right. My wife and I keep talking about putting spare TVs in the kid's rooms, but they wouldn't watch them anyway.

I carry a Fire TV stick with me that accesses my Jellyfin server. Just connect it to the internet and you're good to go.
^ OPs livin' the dream in 2045.

What fantasy world are you living in? How could my glass hold water if I didn't sign up for a service that sends me spam? How could my table hold a book if I didn't sign up for the monthly subscription that prevents it from ejecting books into the air? Even my cat came with a ToS that said that by petting her, I give her access to my bank account and first born child. Hasn't it always been this way?

I have my phone on me all the time. Still no way im using an app to order. The screens I can tolerate at fastfood joints because it gives me time to decide.
But if you can't be bothered to come to my table to ask what I want at a real restaurant, I can't be bothered to go to your > resturant.
