I genuinely believe in the next 20 years or so there will be a luxury line for basically any item that has electronics in it that has absolutely minimal Computer Bullshit as a feature. Luxury cars that have normal dashboards. Luxury washer and dryers that don't need firmware updates or apps. Etc.

Hire cars that don’t require a week’s intensive study of the instruction manual to interpret all the bells & whistles.

I switched all my Patreon stuff for podcasts to go to artists whose work I like. The world has enough podcasts.

My car is a 2015 model which didn’t get updated much from when it was introduced (‘08 maybe?). Bluetooth for calls only, if I want to listen to music etc. on my phone I have to use an AUX cable. Satnav is my phone on a magnetic charger. And that enforced lo-tech is feeling pretty comfortable, now!

I'm already there with open source software: No AI in Linux unless you very deliberately add it, for example, and there's broadly equivalent OSes for phones. (Phones are, by and large, a proprietary hellscape.) But that requires some technical skill (less now) which creates another kind of divide.

A preview of this is in cameras where you pay more to get something that replicates the clicky knobs experience of film SLRs although behind the old school controls it’s all computer.

Modern Arts and Crafts movement. Honestly we need it too. Even better if we made it part of a strategic skills initiative, to create a living library of skilled labor. Which would make those skills plentiful and cost effective.

I had a similar thought that google is going unveil a subscription-tier google that’s just the google we used to have for free, before all the AI bullshit.

I think what you will see is the cheap shit has a bunch of computers that exist to nickle and dime you. Then there is a step up that has a lot of the computer shit stripped out, but the highest luxury stuff will have a bunch of computer shit that lets you summon up services.
