Watches
I never saw the point of them. I don’t see the problem with analog or digital watches. Everything is regressed to a tiny square of a screen, that you barely look at. I just find it as an unnecessary distraction.
Light Bulbs
I work in retail and I stock these things all of the time. We have light bulbs, that are smart now because why? They’re stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.
Kitchen Appliances
I’m bundling them all here.
There is nothing you’re gaining an advantage of, when slapping a screen on any appliance and relying on some unsupported app on your phone for basic functions.
I guess you’re lucky enough to not have a job that relies on you being available should shit hit the fan.
Yeah, pretty much. Mechanical engineer, but on the tooling side of things and not production. When shit hits the fan, it’s typically during office hours. Honestly, I haven’t even charged my work phone in probably 6 months because it’s so rare anybody needs me when I’m not at my computer.
But my personal phone is always on silent, too. Not even vibrate. To the irritation of my wife.
