I wonder how I would feel about that, if I was alone at home, and lonely.

Would it cheer me that people were reaching out and ringing my doorbell?

Or would it make me sad because I would be reminded that there was not a friend ringing at the door?

I'd be shocked if the Ring doorbells were materially more secure.

I sit firmly in the "only smart device is my printer and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a weird noise" camp.

I would love if my printer was more dumb. It's cheaper to buy an AIO than a separate document (with duplex) and flatbed scanner.

Nowadays smartphones do credible document scanning for most consumer use cases. iPhones had this built in before COVID at the latest.

But the printer comment was actually a reference to a meme about how different groups of people relate to technology.

Nobody on the Internet can ring my doorbell because it's a dumb button that connects to a dumb, literal bell.
