It is so difficult to find modern electronics without telemetry and ads. Smartphones, laptops, TVs, home routers, security cameras, cars, game consoles, e-readers, projectors, 3D printers, fitness trackers, speakers, and even some printers. Why can’t customers be free from this data collection and advertising? It’s not that we don’t care about it. There simply aren’t many alternatives, and the few that do exist are either more expensive or offer fewer features. Seriously, we need a list of products we can buy without worrying about telemetry or advertising.
The following list is updated at https://lemmy.ml/post/52706206
- Framework Laptop
- Anything else that doesn’t come with ads and telemetry built in?
Maybe a repo would be better?
Anyone is more than welcome to put this in a repo. I will add the link to the post.
How about a laptop that doesn’t support fascist weirdos?
The problem is the rug pull. Buy the device now, and after critical mass hits, they send out an update that adds telemetry, with users mostly being completely unaware.
It’s a trust issue. Brand trust is more valuable now than it has been in a long time, possibly ever.

Most gaming monitors, computer monitors, video projectors, and commercial displays are spyware-free alternatives to smart TVs.
Last time I checked, there were also a few brands that still made dumb TVs, but it has been a few years since I looked.
Could you recommend a video projectors without telemetry or ads?
I’ve been using a Sony for years. It doesn’t have any network capability.
