I’m not stuck in time. I’ve embraced dependability.
Casio for calculator but Hamilton for watch??
I’d expect a Debian fanatic to have a Casio watch as well!
Hey, those old school Craftsman ratchets and wrenches last forever. My dad bought a set in the 70s, he died in 2023 and they were one of the things I kept in the aftermath and they are way better than the ones I have bought for myself over the years that are much newer.
My advice to anyone these days is if you want it to last get the version of that thing that was being sold in the 1950s-1970s. Maybe the 80’s/90’s depending on what it is. If it was made in the last 20 years it is almost always made to be thrown away in a decade or less.
I’m in this image and I feel good about it, the manual transmission, the PS2 (although I did pick up a ps5 recently to play gta 6), the analogue watch, the leather wallet, I don’t have a discman, but I do have an MP3 player, the seperate audio system with a turnable, the zippo lighter, and a classic scientific calculator. All things I use frequently.
And yes I use Debian stable
Hey that’s my dad’s stuff, give it back!
Is that tire pressure gauge archaic? It’s handy & effective & requires no electricity. I keep one in my glove box.
No shit, do people not check their tire pressure? WTF?
Many cars these days have built in tire pressure monitors and will light your dash with a warning light when it is low. Both my vehicles do that. I still carry a tire gauge in my glove box though.
Some of these tire pressure sensors transmit unencrypted data via radio. You can use that to track people.
That might be, but the 10 year old vehicles I own are not very likely to do that.
Nah air pumps at the store usually come with them.
I feel targeted by this. Also how did you get into my house?
I feel there should be a classic leatherman utility knife in here too lol
Excuse me, mine is a skeletool. Very futuristic. Very manufactured by Leatherman.
l use debian and l dont like this ? (!)
Older doesn’t necessarily mean worse. Dependability is important for sure.
It also doesn’t necessarily mean more dependable. There definitely is a fallacy problem that many fall into where they believe old = reliable.
That’s true, but if you have a 20-year-old item that is still working and a different 5-year-old item that is still working and you know nothing else about them, the statistics do work out that the former will likely maintain its working condition longer. It’s obviously not a hard rule, but as a rule of thumb, it exists for a reason.
Omg, I loved that calculator.
If somebody can still fully operate with this stuff, I’m jealous.
It means they’ve figured it out and they’re immune to almost all of the bullshit.
There’s bound to be some bridge, somewhere, but even then, that only needs to be minimal. These people are heroes and have a special power.
The “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” starter pack
That is where my wallet went, you dick!
This is so dumb it is tiring…
I’m using Debian stable on my desktop but I also play games, AAA to indie, with the latest gadgets, e.g. Steam Controller or even VR headsets. I also control my house with IoT with single keypresses on my mechanical keyboard which has its own touchpach (no mouse) with individual RGB key. I have a more modern setup than most but I still stick to a stable distribution because one can have both, you just have to buy devices that respect your agency by relying on well supported and/or open protocols, e.g. BT or Zigbee.
PS: I get that it’s humor, don’t “explain” it to me. I also have a fixie bike because I got tired of trying to fix my proprietary e-bike so yes I can also feed the trope (in the sense of going “back” to older technologies outside the computer) but unfortunately beyond it is important that people understand it is actually incorrect.
TL;DR: tired trope, I have weird brand new e-gadgets and peripherals doing very demanding tasks while still relying on Debian stable.
You think it’s important people understand your opinion that you barely explained coherently and at the same time you don’t want anyone to explain it to you.
Is your middle name Karen or is that just your first name? Go outside, touch grass, get some serotonin, you need it.
damn that was helpful, insulting someone rather than asking for clarification, blocked and reported.
Is that a seagull watch?
