Most of my childhood memories have been saved on grainy, imperfect pictures and, yeah, I'm content with that and cherish them all the same (probably even more so, because that reflects the time in which they were made). If I want high-resolution photographs of something, I use a proper camera, but there's really nothing about "high-resolution" that implies "treasured memory" to me or vice versa.

Considering that even a midrange smartphone today is leaps ahead of "real" cameras from the past, I guess a different way to phrase your question is "Am I content to have my memories preserved with the image quality of a camera from 20 years ago?". And the answer to that would be a clear "yes". But to each their own.

I mean, if showing pictures from your phone on a big screen is something you do so often that your phone absolutely has to do that and do it flawlessly, then yeah, I guess a midrange phone is not for you. But that's such a specific requirement, I can't exactly blame a company like Fairphone for not catering to those needs.

This, and in terms of repairability/sustainability, it's hard to make an "everything device" and do it well. Every time you think you got all user requirements covered, another user comes around the corner with a new set of hyper-specific requirements, and you're back at square one figuring out supply chains and design fundamentals. If your aim is to make something repairable and sustainable that is hard to make that way, it's much more feasible to just make two separate devices.

Nach Staatshilfen zu fragen hat bei Volkswagen doch Tradition. Für dieses Traditionsbewusstsein hat sich der Vorstand seinen Bonus in meinen Augen verdient.

You're saying that, a generation ago, keeping your shoes on was normal?

The Iliad is actually a great example for this, because the recent translation of it by Emily Wilson received a lot of praise, and I know a few people who work in that field and would of be extatic to have a signed copy of it.

 
 
 
 

My boomer trait is that I frequently type in my password where the username is supposed to go. What's yours?

 

Basically the title. I want to learn more about some ingredients or food items that you use frequently in your cooking and that aren't super common where you live.

Example: Roasted sesame oil. Didn't know there was such a thing until a year ago, and I never want to miss it again.
