I see this as similar to the cybersecurity workers not using tech (like, Alexa/Siri, cameras with net access, social media, etc), they know how easy it is for it all to go bad lol
Oh I'm definitely in that camp, very late adopter to some stuff once it's had time to mature, and my IoT crap at home is all isolated from the parts of the network that I care about.
I don't even use wireless headphones because I much prefer a cable, it just works every single time without any charging/pairing/dropout/quality hassle.
I'm old :\
Nah, I'm 32 and I prefer wired over wireless. Wired headphones, speakers, mouse, charging cords, etc. I hate the idea of airpods because I know I'll lose one, and I'm suss about Bluetooth tech. I dislike the possibility of Bluetooth headphones failing and everyone hearing whatever I'm playing, and I dislike Bluetooth because everyone can see you. I hate this wireless shit so much.
Glad to know I'm not the only one!
my stuff is as low tech as i can get it and of that stuff nearly every function is disabled, NO banking apps on my phone
now to work on that fuckin apple tv shit , i hate it
also, i try to not bluetooth anything important
