As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do

    I miss fm radio tuners in phones.

    There are so many neat features that they just gave up on.

    I’m typing this on s motherfucking phone that can detect doors and measure at a distance, really really fucking accurately somehow, has all kinds of other fancy shit, but I can’t use it to listen to the radio without internet.

    Fucking smart devices killed so much cool shit.

    Don’t get me wrong it’s awesome that I can change the channel on my tv from damn near anywhere if I have to remotely fix it and all, but I’ve never once had to do that.

    I used to play shit on the Alexa to mess with the wife and kids from wherever, but that got old quick.

    Although, my ex-wife does still have that thing, and we are still sharing an Amazon account…

      Funnily enough the bottom of the barrel budget phones usually have an FM tuner. My 2021 Motorola has one.
