I know a lot of using it was actually kinda awful. I don’t long for missing a finale episode because it was a bit too rainy for the signal to get through but there was something wonderful about how tactile and beautiful analogue tech was.
Also it felt really really good to be able to slap something into working.
My old Xbox 360 I got back in 2010 was the last piece of tech I owned that could have a problem fixed with a bit of a whack. The disc drive liked to stick closed so I just smacked it on top and out popped my disc. Surprisingly never once damaged my games by doing that.
Good old faithful still runs to this day, only got retired about a year ago and was a decent media box despite its age.
