How is not having support for something a plus for you? I swear to god, some Linux users are so stuck up.
Where to start....
My dumb TV doesn't support smart features. A plus.
My coffee maker doesn't support wifi. A plus.
My games don't support in-app purchases. A plus.
My windows 10 laptop (did you read that?! Whaaat, I'm not a Linux user???!!!) doesn't support Windows 11. Major plus.
My MacBook's OS version (no way!!!) doesn't support unnecessary FaceTime features. A plus.
What TV did you get that doesn’t have smart features?
I looked, but all the ones I could find were 1080p, no HDR, and either tiny or made for commercial/industrial installation.
I got a Sceptre one a few years ago. Okay quality, terrible speakers (though an external soundbar takes care of that.)
fingerprint login is not secure. period. Being stuck in using a password login is a plus
You could just disable fingerprint login, though.
Sure, but that's not the point of the conversation. The point is that some stranger is judging a whole community for the preference of one single person who may or may not belong to said community.
"what, you dont want to use the new door lock made from soggy white bread? You deadbolt losers are so stuck up"
