- kept an iPhone 6S for nearly 7 years (2 battery replacements), now using an SE 3rd Gen (to keep old tech I like - touch ID and LCD rather than OLED - still a bit suspicious about headaches, given I use it phone low brightness) - used a 2012 Mac Mini for nearly 11 years, now upgraded (same product line) - philosophy has always been migrating operating systems is a massive pain (for anyone who uses package management or occasionally has to compile things, anyway). Was annoyed to lose the infra-red receiver as well as having to use an external SDXC reader. Also Apple don't seem to deliver quite as much power to the USB ports anymore? - still have an iPod Touch I use occasionally (so light - 88g or 3.1oz - and so comfortable to hold) - refuse to buy AirPods etc (costly, wasteful, extra complexity, latency...) - refuse to buy a Smart Speaker because really, whatever is the point? I can listen to radio streams on my computer with PyRadio, I can type the address of the Met Office website and if I want an alarm I can use my phone or my watch. (sidenote: have had Siri turned off for years) - keen on quality, single purpose items - e.g. torch, head torch, FM radio, desk lamp, GPS unit, USB microphone. - watches: a Timex with a button you press to light up the face, a solar Casio G-shock and a solar Citizen eco-Drive for "smarter" occasions) - trying to do things in Vim (nvim) - first proper mechanical keyboard being delivered today - very excited! - signed up to HN a few days ago for first time Thing I really wish we could have had in the UK when I was young: probably Minitel. Also feel a bit nostalgic for the Amstrad PCW I owned (although daisywheel printer was far too loud).
