Do I really need to explain what I meant? I feel like it’s pretty clear, everyone responding to you seems to get it.
I really hate how prescriptive comments have to be on HN sometimes.
Here: at present they are dumb and are generally not being used for spying or paired with invasive apps. However, if they become more popular, that is likely to change, which is something I am not looking forward to. It would mean you’d have to use older, inferior hardware, which is fine for basic laptops and Linux and such but displays get noticeably better every few years. I’d rather not have to use dated hardware for something my eyes have to stare at for long periods just because companies are greedy about data. Or I have to learn how to disable all that stuff, and I spend a lot of time as it is modding/breaking/getting around these things. I am not looking forward to yet another domain of tech/hardware where I have to constantly worry about what is going on under the hood because it’s exhausting and I just want to buy a product and be done with the interaction.
Is that clear enough?
