What's something you no longer buy due to intrusive, insidious technology being added into it? (lemmy.world)

I'll start: printers.

I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.

Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.

I had the same shit with an hp printer. I returned mine though.

I’m really picky about where I buy gas. There ar two places that don’t play ads at the pump and i go there. I worry they’ll change.

    There's a mute button. Of the 8 or 10 soft keys, it's been right side, second from the bottom for me. No penalty for hitting wrong. Not saying it makes ads justifiable, just an FYI if you don't have a choice in stations that day and get stuck with ads.
