Unless it’s a service animal, I don’t like when dogs are in public buildings. Tired of trying to buy food at the grocery store but having to dodge dogs and avoid stepping over their leashes. This anger is mostly directed at their owners as I’m skittish around dogs I don’t know.

    Anything that works without electronics shouldn't have electronics in it.

    I don't care if my new 'smart' toaster can find the theoretical perfect bread toasting average, if it needs to connect to the wi-fi it's going into the fucking trash.

        No one needs them but I had a lot of fun hooking coloured smart bulbs up to a midi controller to liven up some jam sessions.

        I know someone who has a Bluetooth toothbrush. He controls the modes using a barely maintained app. I asked him why he didn’t just get a normal toothbrush with buttons and he says the Bluetooth is more convenient

        Counterpoint: I rigged up my front door light to change colours like Factorio train stations when I order food delivery because I was bored one night. It flips over to blue when the driver gets into the parking lot, then yellow when they're at the door, then green when they leave.
