This is such a Windows way of thinking. Why does every other OS constantly change and evolve but Windows is like “can’t touch this code from a quarter century ago?”
My wife and I ditched the microwave because it makes it tempting to overeat and/or buy processed foods (not that either of were especially into buying microwaveable dinners, etc).
We don’t really miss it. The only time I wish I still had it is when I make breakfast burritos and want to reheat them — I resort to saving the ingredients and having to reheat them separately before assembling a new burrito.
If it’s cable internet you might just be constrained by the available upload speed. I tend to put my media in Storj then run a VPS somewhere between all the clients that serves the media via WebDAV with rclone. This gets around the slow upload speed of cable internet at home, and I can cache the remote content on my NAS at home too.
This is actually a very nice reminder of why I left the Midwest. I get stressed out in the city (Los Angeles) but after 10 years it feels much more like home. It’s easy to forget why you moved somewhere and the grass is always greener on the other side.
That’s why I really want to experience it for myself. I’ve gotten a taste of it in Mexico City but it’s one of those things where you just don’t know until you try it.
I spent the first 18+ years of my life in the middle of nowhere and in fact just returned from there. That place is so dead, lacking life and the same abandoned farm equipment is still where it was when I was five years old.
While it’s completely open the environment is suffocating and stifling. I’ll never live somewhere like that again.
I’ve been dying to check it out. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for ~10 years and find the people move at a snail’s pace and are just completely unaware of their surroundings. I’m really craving a fast-paced environment.
