Why did you have to bring him up? Too soon! 😭

Ooo look at all the ads on the side of this page!

So true. I bought my house 10 years ago, because it was walking distance to the elementary school that my son attended. I do NOT like this house. I'd love to sell it, but I love my 3.1% rate more.

Along with responsibility and accountability.

Ah yes, back when cosmetic horse armor DLC for Oblivion was widely derided for being pointless and needlessly expensive. Now people defend that sort of DLC as being a good deal.

As it always has seemed to every older generation ever. People are just as dumb as ever, we just notice it more as we get older.

Or when they used to mail you games and movies!

Stuff on my Cat! I have a vague memory that Regretsy, which was hilarious, was pushed into a position where the admins believed that if they didn't stop they were likely to be sued (or similar) by Etsy. They were agitators for trying to get Etsy to delist bulk resellers, which wasn't looked on with friendly eyes (and didn't work).

Always check the coin return!

I remember thinking, "Who wants to buy clothes online. You need to try it on and feel it first." Then again, I also couldn't understand why anyone would want to carry a phone in their pocket and be reachable at all times. I do catch up with the trends eventually, but I often hold on too tightly to the things that we're losing.

I actually dug my digital camera out last week to do a photoshoot. When I turned it on, the date had defaulted to 2008! I still need to find the card reader to examine the pictures. I also shot a load of pictures on my phone, and they are probably better than the camera took. The biggest difference though is in the screen resolution - the phone makes it soooo much easier to review what you have shot. Photo is going into a magazine as part of an advert, so I can't wait to see how it comes out.

Please, stop making stupid people rich.

So much better than TikTok

Still have one and use it. I just bought another one too. Small, easier to carry on walks when I don't need my phone and doesn't drain my phone battery.

Hell, my middle age. As Oliver Wendall Holmes said when spotting a pretty young lady "Oh, to be seventy again!"

Who needs therapy when I can have a social media influencer tell me exactly why its everyone else's fault?

I bought a Wii-U on the strength of the Wii. It doesn't get used at all now. Can't even remember the last time I turned it on.

Hubs absolutely HATES his current smartphone. Honestly, they making them too big now. I looked around online to see what phones might be out there with physical keyboard as his favorite ever had a slide up keyboard. unfortunately not seeing, much that is 5G and has a keyboard

Not just Apple, all electronics need to be repairable. Planned obsolescence is killing the world economy.

I remember how long the Windows phone took to boot - if you needed to make an emergency call, you'd be dead by the time it was ready to make a call. Couldn't get rid of the thing fast enough.

TiVo and DVRs are great, but I *truly* miss removable media. What good is a DVR if I can't get the recording *OUT OF THE BOX* and take it someplace else? (Yeah, I know - ever since the Sony court ruling declaring home video recording legal, the entertainment industry has vowed they would find a way to kill it and stuff *that* genie back in the bottle.)

Or anywhere these days, everyone seems holed up on their devices at home.

I disagree. Unfortunately, Ye's career is far from over. Please stop supporting this crazyass tool.
