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?

Look for devices that you can swap the software on

The important thing is that no telemetry or ads come natively with the device, so customers don't have to worry about it or put extra effort into making it so.
