Seriously though, why would a fridge need to be connected to WiFi?

Yes, especially if you’re driving, you don’t need to look at a touchscreen and can keep your eyes on the road

Same my friend, same.

My friends took me out to dinner, I'm waiting for the person to bring our menus, and my friends said it on their app. What the f***k? they had to download that square thing, to then download something else, I don't need all this c**p on my phone, I already disable a lot of the stuff on it, now I gotta add more, and it makes life harder? No Thanks

I got a Kindle for a gift a year ago and I'm pretty fond of it.

Unnecessary apps are terrible. They don't need my info to order a shelf set.

Notebooks at school are about to extinct. So the beautiful handwring is.

Rock, Digital File, Scissors is not the same.

I use a pen and paper in meetings, others look at me oddly as I work in IT, but I find them to be the best tools for the job.

Written word is so powerful

I use paper and ink journals. I can take them camping, don't need to worry about keeping a device charged... etc.

I lug 2 notebooks with me everywhere. They contain everything from phone numbers to recipes, to do lists. They get recycled when i have fully utilised both side of the pages.

Drawing in an iPad is a very personal preference and very biased to say paper and pencil are superior. I've met many a fine artist who can't use traditional medium JUST as many as who can't use digital mediums. This isn't a competition fam.

I still use paper and pens to write out my grocery lists and other lists.

Sometimes its the act itself of writing something down on a piece of paper that makes you remember. Typing it out just or using a light pen just doesn't have the same effect.

I think both can have their place. I'm a writer. Not professionally (YET). But it's my self-therapy. My happy place. I've got literally over 3,000 pages of written work, in the form of several novel-length stories, saved on my laptop (and backed up on several thumb drives, lol). It's my very happy hobby. Back when I was a teen, in the 90s, I handwrote, in notebooks, with blue or purple gel pen. And I loved that, too. Even today, a new, clean notebook inspires a feeling of happiness and anticipation within me that I simply can't describe. But now that I'm older, I just can't physically write longhand anymore. At least, not for any length of time. My hand cramps up, and my fingers lock. But I can type on my laptop for hours. Handwriting IS important, for sure. But digital writing can be very useful, too.

As a paper-attracted person, I have found my Remarkable to be well worth the money.

The friction of pencil on paper...there's something about it that my brain likes

As someone who likes to take notes, write ideas, etc. and who has limited space, you can pry my iPad and off-brand pen from my cold, dead hands. 😁

Heck yes.

Kinda sad that teaching cursive/joined up writing appears to be obsolete. To be sure, many people don’t write “pretty” (especially doctors 🤣) and it isn’t, never was, actually important in so far as it’s better to write clearly than have perfect copperplate. My ex always wrote “print” in caps because otherwise his handwriting was indecipherable. But, yeah, I kinda miss cursive.

Yes please!

I read an article a while ago that said there is a difference in "Pyrex" and "pyrex" The brand Pyrex sold their name to a company that makes cheap knockoffs, which has the lowercase "p" at the front of the name

I’d love to see cars like this more often, as cars are often the most heavily used machines in your life, unless you take public transport. But alas, it shall not be so

Until you get arthritis...

monthly payments and subscriptions on everything is b******t in general

The noise alone is worth banning the things.

thank you!!!!!

I do charge when I am eating out, but leave a cash tip for servers. I tell them, they don't have to claim it all on their taxes.(oops, any IRS folks out there?)

I can read online books fine, but there's just something about holding a real book that can't be compared with digital.

They can be expensive.

I still use my Windows Office 2007. They have not added any functionality that I need since. It irks me when my laptop automatically starts new documents in Office 365

Up until recently, you had to use the Tesla touchscreen to open the glovebox. Now you can do it in one model (maybe in all) by a long press of one of the scroll wheels on the steering wheel. I guess that's 'progress'...

As someone with doctor handwriting, the notes app has been a godsend for me tbh

These people have never heard of the joint problems of old age...

Every car I've ever bought was manual transmission. Easier and cheaper to drive and repair

I like that I can actually own media and never have to worry that a service will lose their license to carry it. I have bought some digital copies of films out of desperation (like being stuck in a hotel room during a storm) and I never feel like I really own the movie. Plus, the complex ins and outs of negotiating music rights for movie soundtracks means some films might never make it to streaming.

I think cast iron is more popular now than it ever was.

And classy. There's something so sophisticated about using a fountain pen.

The person that wrote this note failed penmanship class or is high af. 😵‍💫

I do on in a spreadsheet format. It very handy.

My old ones always leaked. But the new ones have a spout that sticks out well past the edge of the can, so you can bump into it and knock the spout right off. And that's supposedly safer.

Chocolate cornbread??? I have never heard of such gloriousness before. Now I NEED some!!

This. I got a new router a year and change ago. The replacement only had 3 ethernet ports. I bought a switch so now I can connect everything I need to and still have space.

I love mechanical watches. Just remember to wind before bed & 1st thing in the morning, Never overwind,

Planned obselescence is a great example of just how terrible humans can be. Make deliberately inferior products so the rich get more money whilst the rest have spend money unnecessarily. All while stripping the planet of resources it doesn't have and animals of their habitats. F**k planned obselescence and f**k the people getting rich from it.

The ads and previews on those old tapes are great too.
