    Buttons, knobs, plastic bezels.

    At least according to the industry those are all in the past. The future is screens that go to the very edge of the device and absolutely nothing tactile.

    And it is bullshit. It is less reliable, less convenient, less cool – To say nothing of the safety disaster that nailing a tablet computer to the dashboard of every car has been.

      One of my problems with phones over the last few years is touchscreens that go all the way to the edge combined with UX elements that require swiping from the very edge. It basically becomes impossible to use if you have a case.

      Absolutely hate cars with those stupid big screens on the console. Give me buttons and knobs any day.

      I started self hosting my own RSS feed a few years ago, and I couldn’t live without it. It’s the best way to get timely info.

      And then you can be the first one to post it on lemmy.

    Your caveman brain. People think they’re educated an enlightened and everything they do now is so well thought out. Nope, the caveman is in the driving seat for all of us. Even your most high level meetings and interviews are influenced by how hungry, horny, or hurt you are by a teasing comment yesterday. Everyone is looking to establish dominance at any cost, when you don’t really need to.

      You know, I see the rest, but I don’t see this. A lot of people are straight-up doormats.

    Paper; Notebooks. Key only physical door locks. Manual transmission cars. Not having any IoT appliances, and not connecting everything you own to WiFi. Hard drive full of MP3s. Cash. Not being available for a call if you’re not at home.

    Source: work tangential enough to cybersecurity.

      Hard drive full of MP3s is love, hard drive full of MP3s is life.

      Although ATM my folder is just 1.1GB including the music videos, so I could probably store it on a thumb drive or carefully-chosen dishwasher; it doesn’t have to be a hard drive.

                I’m sure they have a group chat, right?

                “Guys, how much are you selling your yay for these days? I’ve had negative feedback from three people now about prices. I can handle these bad Yelp reviews.”

    Safty razors! Why would anyone spend 20$ on the new fangled 30 million blade razor that mighy last one shave? When you can spend pennies even if you change blades every shave.

      I recently switched to a Leaf one and love it. It’s about the same as my Harry’s razor, but a hell of a lot less expensive when even Costco is selling their reloads at $27. The leaf blades are way less expensive, and they aren’t even proprietary.

        I got two of these security razors back in 2017 for less than $50 bucks altogether. Best investment ever. Then, last year I got a Philip razor but I have since just stopped shaving at home. I ask the barber from time to time

          That leaf one appears to be $120 lol

          But I suppose if you find yourself on the Harry’s marketing train, jumping off for anything that’s actually recyclable is good.

            Yeah, expensive up front, but the blades are cheap. I got on the Harry’s train before they got bought up and were cheap. Now, whoever bought them has been jacking up prices, which had me looking for a cheaper alternative.

            Harry’s also gave me plastic guilt. There is a lot of waste. :p
