Do I really need to explain what I meant? I feel like it’s pretty clear, everyone responding to you seems to get it.
I really hate how prescriptive comments have to be on HN sometimes.
Here: at present they are dumb and are generally not being used for spying or paired with invasive apps. However, if they become more popular, that is likely to change, which is something I am not looking forward to. It would mean you’d have to use older, inferior hardware, which is fine for basic laptops and Linux and such but displays get noticeably better every few years. I’d rather not have to use dated hardware for something my eyes have to stare at for long periods just because companies are greedy about data.

Is that clear enough?
