    No you don't understand, you can't do that anymore. Because um, everything is actually really bad and enshittified. Wait you bought a not-smart TV to avoid the wifi and ads and such? Um yeah you can't do that.. same with kitchen appliances and everything else. You HAVE to get the wifi version so you can complain online.

    I had to watch a 45 minute ad to post this

    To be fair, I just bought a smart tv that has never touched the internet and doesn’t give me any problems. No prompts, no ads, just goes to my Apple TV and my steam deck.

    Well see I don't think that's accurate, if you bought a TV in the last 50 years it only displays content if connected to WiFi and the only servers it connects to are Google AdSense servers. It is known.

    Two things you don't have to do on a dedicated phone. I bet you had to unlock your phone first, too.

    on a dedicated phone you had dedicated phone. No call history, no phonebook, no call log. So yes, it is technically more taps to get to the dialing stage. But it’s faster overall

    Plenty of the handheld dedicated phones had caller id, and a contacts page. But at that point it's no longer a corded rotary phone with the fun clicks and clacks you get watching the dialer go from 7 to 0, and 5 to 0, and etc.

    My point was more in the tone of, the dialing on a smartphone is the tiniest problem that those devices have. Just kill social media. Yes, lemmy included. This human experiment failed and the repercussions are incalculable.
