Speed Queen is still making dumb albeit electronic models. Bit pricey but solid. Or get yourself an old one off Craigslist and call someone to refurb it. Those will often outlast anything else.

AFAIK, the Samsung BEC-H series commercial monitors don't have the "smart" features (at least enabled, probably still exist under the hood somewhere).

Literally the same, just bought a new washing machine. Most are now smart enabled. I don't get it at all.. Like why does a washing machine need to be on the internet at all.

You're washing is done... Yeah I know I can no longer hear it.

Start it later, there is a delay mode.

I physically have to be in front of the washer to load it. Why would I then use an app.

We paid a premium for one without Wi-Fi

Sceptre has Non smart TVs. May be the only ones left to be honest

Don't connect the TV to the internet. Buy a settop box like a shield TV and stream through that.

It may try to connect to open wifi networks instead, maybe

For a lot of devices that will leave an unsecured wifi network on that will

• allow any passerby to just set it up under their account and potentially mess with it
• use up valuable WiFi channels you might want to use for your own network

Even owning Smart devices and having them always plugged in may potentially be a vector, Rob did a good breakdown on how this is achieved.

Did you know that your IOT devices are secretly communicating with each other? This includes IOT devices that are not in your home. Did you know that what your IOT devices do may be transmitted to third parties? Did you know that your TV may also have the capability and may currently be transmitting your activity far and wide?

There are secret communications occurring between IOT devices using protocols like Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Thread, 802.15, and LoRa that you likely didn't expect or was not explained when you bought these devices.

Just like Amazon Echo has been conscripted to work with the Amazon Sidewalk Mesh network, other networks are in operation

If I did that half my neighbors would own my devices in a week because they like transmitting open access points for setup purposes. I just connect them anyway and then just block them from outbound access at the router if I want to restrict them. That way I can be sure. Then I can use my Homeassistant server to control them from behind the firewall locally if they have that capability.
