Devices that still work when the internet doesn't.

Dashcams, head units, and everything in the car.

Dashcams split cleanly: the ones that write to an SD card and the ones that want a subscription. Cellular and cloud models charge monthly for storage you could hold in your hand, and several vendors have made the app the only way to change a setting. The good news is that this is one of the few categories where the dumb option is also the cheaper and better-performing one.
