My refrigerator is still going strong at 22 years

I thought about this too. People are sick of this shit.

Gonna have to rebrand all that to Just A Dream, unless you have a plan to secure the capital to start that all up, and also somehow not be beholden to short term profit crazed investors who will change that business model.

Hooray! Hypercapitalist Realism!

I'm not against it having an open API to allow it to be controlled by some computer system, though don't even bring up the word "cloud".

IANAL but somehow I get the feeling that entering those industries as a new guy would be a real pain in the ass at the patent office.

I've been thinking about this for a while now, how I just want a basic bitch electric car. No centre console, no futuristic screens, no sensors, no cameras. Give me a normal fucking car with dials, a speedo, some padles on the steering wheel to adjust power output to replace gears and no driver assist. Sell it to me for cheap and let me drive my car. That's all I want.

No technology huh?

So a bucket, washboard, mangle, and piece of string for laundry.

An ice box or cellar for refrigeration

And an open fire for cooking.

I'll invest in this guy today.

I thought multiple times about resurrecting this: https://www.lincrevable.com/en/

The problem is that you think that would make the 'just' products cheaper. The reality is that the data and advertising subsidize the costs of the existing options and make them cheaper then what 'just' could sell for.

Ooh a company that sells refrigirators that don't suck. Call it "suckless."

Similar to my idea called to make a clothing brand called “brandless”

No logo, no graphics, no distinguished designs

Just plain basic clothes in basic colors, using fabrics that last.

No itchy washing label either. All product information in detail available on site. At most a product number printed or sown on the inside.

I've been pondering if one could make open source controllers to replace the "smarts" in these with something that actually just does the job, and even customizable. With different sensor addons/adapters for different makes and models.

"no tech"

And I will sell it in a store called "in stock" because we have these things called "computers" that can reorder a product once one sells so the shelves aren't empty. Because American companies have never heard of that concept.

Some of these products already exist. They are expensive. If you go back and look at the long-lasting appliances of the past, they were also expensive.

One example is Speed Queen washers/dryers. Also Bosch dishwashers.
