Every tech device I have that is more than what an average person would have is the dumbest possible device for the job. Video switcher is a 4x1 with a remote that has 4 buttons. Stereo is analog. Shit if I could rip my therostat out of the wall and install dumber temp gages I would.

I absolutely love the old "bottle of mercury on a coil spring" style of thermostats.

There's an on going project at my maker space to get the smart thermostat working because people will leave the thing on overnight and waste fuel. I'm previous solution was to have two thermostats with a hand crank timer on the warmer on. It took one night to install and get working. It is idiot proof because the thermostats themselves are behind locks.
