I’ve been considering a 3D printer for a few years but have no interest in Warhammer models. Seriously, every once in a while I’ll look online to see if I can find a purpose for a 3D printer. Not so far.

With the tablet on the other hand, with streaming and a family of varied interests, I got used to media consumption on an iPad (and either a speaker or headphones, depending). At this point, my TV is more a waste of money, because no one ever watches it. I no longer have any form of stereo, nor a desktop computer, and my laptop is less convenient for media. After seven years, my iPad no longer gets updates and has slowed way down - actually I wonder if there’s something wrong with the WiFi on it. It’s time.

I’ve honestly found Lemmy really refreshing that I can talk about really anything and there is someone that is interested. It’s been nice to vent.

For sure. Sometimes it’s easier to relate to a bunch of strangers with shared interests than those in our lives who have different interests
