Oh, well then. I just seen a quick mention of a year in the late 80's. Guessing they're still made just as good?

Back when stuff was mostly built to last. When pride still existed. Now the alarm function is behind an app and subscription...

I mean, the fastest method is likely to just plug the phone into PC and pretend it's a flash drive?

Old gnome was great. Was like the best middle ground. Enough options to tweak stuff, but not plasma levels of knobs. Le sigh

Oh noooo...oh right, already had them blacklisted.

Ya, hindsight it's a dumb comparison.

For sure. Plenty of times I've had to go power cycle a little desk printer just for it to work again. Oddly, commercial label printers (like TSC) have been surprisingly ok, even in large industrial shops.

Maybe it's the environments I work in, but WiFi printing always ends in tragedy.

I'm all for the spirit of 'return to monke' , but short of major disasters there's no turning back. Not for the vast majority.

All our advancements are not all negative. Life spans now are drastically higher on average. Simple things like soap, antibiotics etc.

Used to be a field repair tech for several oems. The XPS usually suffered hinge issues. They decided it was a good idea to use press fitted standoffs in plastic to anchor the screen hinges...and the plastic is not very thick.

Crazy how a biological analog lump is capable of even a fraction of what a brain can do.

Heh, it's been a struggle of complying with authority on simple/mundane task. But slowly its getting away from it
