Then I also missed the memo that said we have to be available 24/7
(24/7 availability only happens when I'm on stand-by for work. That is less than 6x a year, for one week, on a separate phone and they pay dearly for me carrying it around )
I usually leave my phone at home when I go out. If I have it with me, everything but the phone ringtone is in silent mode. So unless I get a call I'm not notified on anything. I'll look for message etc whenever I feel like it.
Nothing sucks. Sure, modern life seems to be build around them, but there often is another way. We managed many many decades without them.
It's great living your day just here and now with whatever surrounds you at the moment.
I live on the countryside, I keep a lot just because a store is not around the corner. It's truly remarkable how much can be reused. I need a solution for my waterpump, the flange developed a crack but a suitable flange isn't an easy find (yeah, industrial grade that costed more than the pump itself). Yesterday I found a coupling in my garage that works more than perfect.
I found a wago during a renovation and replaced it. I'm nuts about nuts. They feel as a better connection to me. It's in how the coil sits so tight it won't let go
The latest firmware tells the manufacturer what you ate, and with how many you where. Now it can also discuss with the fridge the vitamins and calories you had and determine together what needs to be in stock.
