I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.
What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

Some of the Chinese stuff is good, particularly if you get a name brand (Aqara, Sengled, Sonoff, etc). I’ve got a bunch of Sengled smart plugs and they all have proper ETL listing. A lot of US-based brands are manufactured In China too. It’s just hard to separate the good from the bad sometimes though :/
