A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There were cordless landlines for years. So you could go usually anywhere in the house or even into the yard a ways. But I can't think why anyone would want to use something like that when you have cell phones. Large, comfy form factor I suppose.
Same reason I like running retro consoles/hardware. The process itself is part of the fun.
Newer ones aren't that large, but why bother when you have a cellphone always with you anyway
