An old TV, made before smart appliances were a thing, and an old flip phone, which remains powered off most of the time. I even keep my mic disconnected from my computer unless I'm actively using it, and assume it is compromised.
I'm getting ready to switch to a sat phone, now that they're affordable and somewhat reliable. I can use the laptop for anything else a smartphone does. Also, sat phones will still work after an EMP or something similar, at least in theory.
You can keep small electronics in an old unplugged microwave for emp shielding - it had a built in Faraday cage to prevent cooking your face while you stare at your nuggies spinnin around 😄
Basically anything that would function as a faraday cage with an earth ground (ideally). Otherwise the pulse will dump energy into the circuit and blow components out.
"Smart Appliances...." SMFH...who needs that stupid shit? Nothing but spyware in your fucking home. They farm out the wifi and security soft/hardware to the cheapest chinese company and these things are notoriously unsecure on your network.
If you're too moronic to realize your refrigerator's one and only purpose in your home is to keep food cold and only connection to the outside world should be via the electrical cord, you deserve to be spied upon.
You think this won't happen? All technology could be weaponized especially if connected to the web. Think twice about alexa and connected to the web applicances and items. Big brother is listening.
I stupidly got the fridge with the screen on it - I wanted it so I could listen to music while cooking. I do have a magnificent picture of Trump on the home screen that lights up when you open the fridge. My husband hates it though bc he thinks it's spying on us, too, which he's probably right.
You have exceeded your limit of bacon and alcoholic beverage consumption. Please make a deposit of $25 or more via thumb print and retina scan to your health insurance provider, or record at least 50k steps on your smart watch connected to your guugle general physics account, in order to gain access to the fridge. Thank you.
"Smart" appliances. As if I would ever allow this shit in my house.
Do you have a TV or cell phone?

Kudos.

So long as the constellation is still functioning, yup, they are a pretty good option.
Thanks for the validation. I'm still early into my homework on the subject.
Make sure you store it in a properly shielded container if you’re planning to have it work after an EMP as it will fry otherwise.
No kidding?
What constitutes proper shielding? Lead?

For real tho - old microwave.
doesn't have to be lead. read up on Faraday Boxes...you'll get the principles.
Very cool. Thanks.

I think I can manage that.
Secret Military Armaments in Residential Technology
Irrelevant. Most people aren't that smart.
Lol a crowbar will fix it.
Turns out the Amish were right about many things.
Good bowlers too.
Roy Munson: "Yeah, well, he blessed you too. And I'll give you a clue what it is. It's round. It has three holes. And you stick your fingers into it."
Ishmael: "You leave Rebecca out of this mister."
One of the better lines.
Hell yeah. Their lives are so much simpler. It looks great in this day and age, where tech makes many of us into zombies.
Anyone have the based video/photo of the Amish Trump rally?
Just don't buy smart appliances. Totally stupid concept.
You become a slave to servicing this shit, programming it, installing updates, dealing with errors. Life is too short!
Plus needing more and more bandwidth. Gee, my internet is soooooooo slooooowwww!
That's because your neighbors are all downloading Netflix shows like Cuties.
There are no longer non smart tvs to buy, for the most part.
Mom. Why is the fridge being a faggot

I like my ice cubes so it gets water too.
If you think your kid is getting stoned in your house, walk by the fridge and say "Trump won by a lot"
What possible reason for you need a tv on your refrigerator
I don't want to be a luddite, but god damn clown world is making hard
"Bezos is a globohomo"... beep - access denied for 24 hours.
Lol
Alex Jones was roundly mocked for saying such ten years ago.
Lol

Didn't they recently pass a law in, I believe the UK, that allows the government to arrest people for things they said in their home?
Makes "you will own nothing and be happy" even scarier.
dammit, alexa - i meant "queer" as in "odd"!
Do not ever have a spy device in your house.
Amazon Echo? How about get smashed by a hammer.

This is why I have a dumb fridge that only knows to keep the food cold and make ice.
It’s like the movie IROBOT, eventually we’ll all be held captive in our homes. They’re already normalizing it with lockdowns.
I guarantee this will be the case if they get people on UBI.
More realistically, it will stop cooling your food and play democrat propaganda on loop until you unplug it.
I never understood this stuff. I do have a smart TVs, but I don have connected, it is a screen for my computer. No Alexa or anything else...
I like it when they hear me talking about how much fun their moms are.

I’ll f***ing do it again!
Can’t beat how well an Fire fighters axe tears through a Tin box.
I recall in the 90s, CIA agents were interviewed saying "in the future, your own microwave and dish washer will spy on you and your habits".
They all saw it coming, likely was a goal of theirs with the internet coming into each Americans home.
I don't fuck with this tech! It's very fun and cool, but u don't have it at home.
No Alexa. I bought a non smart 75" tv in purpose. No option to connect to satellites or internet.
My phones can be used to spy on me though.
This is going to happen.
And they would have no one to blame but themselves for giving the enemy so much power over their daily lives.
YEAR WE DO NOT HAVE ANYO OF THESE, I UNDERSTAND IF YOU HAVE A SAVVY 16 YR OLD YOU CAN FIX THESE SPIES TO OFF! PERMANENTLY
It's called a crowbar.
