Tired of my tvs no longer updating to the latest software, tired of my phone no longer connecting to my car, tired of my few years old tech being considered legacy and no longer supported. Can anyone suggest non-android, non-apple, non-AI, non-connected, non-smart 'dumb' tech you've bought that makes a difference in your life? Should be hardy enough to last maybe 20 years (my even older plasma tv is still going on strong with a beautiful tv and forward firing speakers, while my newer Samsung lcd stopped receiving updates) and just do it's job. I can live without mu ai enabled washer telling me how to wash my clothes.

You buy a Big Mac once a day?

Nobody says there will be a complete big Mac at the end of the week

"Then at the end of the week you have a free Big Mac"

I mean, free usually implies a shittier version, no? So it could very well just be incomplete.
