Any Google smartwatch. I bought 2 at one point. A sport and a dress watch. Both only lasted about a year before the software rendered them useless. I’m now back on analogue watches.
I was on Reddit, now I am here. It’s a crazy world.

I never had regular crocs, but have had a pair of the sandals and slides. Longest lasting sandals I’ve had and they’re rather comfortable.
Too expensive. Not owner repairable. Too much unnecessary tech baked in.
There’s a path forward for EV’s, but I don’t think the current philosophy is it.
Currently using a combination of Plexamp, WinAmp, Bandcamp and Apple Music.
Spotify is an evil company. Bad for artists, bad for consumers. I’m glad to have quit using their service.
Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.
Just another huge ass company that values short term profits over its employees and customers. Probably won’t be buying any more of their products.
Some say the slam was so hard the shockwaves were felt on the other side of the globe.
The Wind Waker for me. At the time, the open world and sea felt so massive, and the colorful cell-shaded graphics made me feel like I was immersed in a cartoon. I played other Zelda games before, but it was the first one to hold my attention all the way to the end. To me, it’s one of those games I wish I could experience again for the first time.
Dump-truck-ass Pixar Moms are my kryptonite.
03 Ford Focus. Terrible transmission, on board computer fried, all kinds of random engine and sensor issues. Finally found an honest mechanic that said it would cost more to fix everything wrong with it than to just take the L and get a new car. Took a loss on the loan and bought a Camry. Best decision I could’ve made. Nothing but Toyota since.
Tech moves fast ma dudes.
“How Long” by How to Destroy Angels. It’s a better post-apocalyptic story than most theatrical productions in just under 4 minutes.
I have a friend that will only chat with me on Instagram. I have his number, but he will never respond to text. He only engages in insta, it’s mildly infuriating.
Absolutely, the lifetime was worth it!
I was a day one GPM music user until it was discontinued. That app was my most used service ever and it took thousands of hours to curate my whole collection there. When Google killed it, I vowed to never become dependent on a Google product much less a cloud based service ever again. PlexAmp is my go to now.
I got a subscription to nebula, since my favorite creators are on there and YouTube’s subscription costs too much.
Quit Spotify for Apple Music and PlexAmp.
Slowly starting to phase out everything Google but it’s taking some time.
I’m using Google search less and now Ecosia has become my primary search engine.
Next thing on my list is to reduce streaming services. I quit Netflix and HBO in 2023 after having it for many years.
Using a VPN more and more.
I’m using much less Reddit, Facebook and whatever the fuck twitter is now. Instead I’m using Lemmy and Mastodon. Maybe this year I’ll delete all the old accounts finally for good.
Started using RSS again for news.
Absolutely; and this is another example in a long list which should serve as a lesson for people to not share their personal data with any company if possible. Yet, I feel that lesson will never be learned.
“You won’t own anything, and you’ll like it.”
Knowing what they want and not being shy about it. Confidence, intelligence and honesty.
