Can somebody build & sell a dumb electric car? Or at least one not permanently internet-enabled and/or that has no functionality and capabilities locked behind software and subscriptions?
Ive been genuinely thinking about getting into business selling dumb stuff exclusively. Dumb tvs, fridges, washers, phones, printers watever. Just a safe online vendor where you know that what you buy wont connect to the internet, need a subscription, or require a credit card on file to work. I just need a business name.
That's a neat idea, and definitely a product group that I've been actively looking for. But I do find it ironic that your business model is of an online vendor that sells offline versions of online appliances haha
Was on the market for a TV for my grandparents recently. I just need a monitor, digital receiver, and remote - in one neat package. How hard can it be?
Very, apparently. Can't even find cheap Chinese crap that isn't "smart" these days.
Thrift stores are where the remaining dumb tech is currently housed... until they, too, are emptied.
Dumbly: Uncomplicated Technology for a Complicated World
The Dacia Spring fits the bill out of necessity (price). It is not fast, it has low range, uses cheap materials and it is rather small.
But I don't think it can spy on you and it's charming through its simple honesty.
I'd download it alright
You wouldn't download a car.
Did I stutter?
Acutally yes. Yes I would.
Assuming you are in the part of the world where they are being sold
You can do it yourself!
