Well, guess you are American? In Europe most people still drive cars with manual transmission.

not for long

There isn't big trend in moving to automatic transmission. Yes, rental cars are automatic, etc, but most of the people will still likely choose manual instead of automatic when buying a car. Including me, somehow I just feel more in control of the car that way. Unless I buy some supercar without manual option. IIRC manual transmission is something like 80% of the cars in Europe.

โ€œ Other top offenders include Volkswagen, which collects demographic data (like age and gender) and driving behaviors (like your seatbelt and braking habits) for targeted marketing purposes; Toyota, which features a near-incomprehensible galaxy of 12 privacy policy documents; Kia, whose privacy policy states they can collect information about your โ€œsex life;โ€ and Mercedes-Benz, which manufactures certain models with TikTok (an app with its own privacy issues) pre-installed. Analysts estimate that by 2030, car data monetization could be an industry worth $750 billion.โ€

Safety Razors

Boys who buy overpriced 12-blade replacement heads or get a new electric trimmer every year because they're scared of nicks and cuts will eventually find that this thing gets the closest shave you can imagine and replacement blades cost less than 5ยข ea

Don't cheap out on the handle tho, get a German-made safety razor. Cheap, poorly made safety razors is what gives them a bad rep for cutting faces.

Use a blade myself

Not analog video

I'm currently saving analog photos & analog videos from CD to my pc that my parents digitized to CD years ago.

My takeaway is that analog photos can look absolutely stunning but analog video looks like shit. This is ofc partly because the VHS tape it was "digitized" from was limited to 576p even if the film had higher quality. This wouldn't be a limitation in a analog video renaissance but I still think the overall quality, grain/noise etc do not have the same charisma as analog photographs

Even the most basic iPhone has a better quality. And Video editing on smartphone is only just beginning. And have you seen software stabilization on iPhone? Analog video renaissance has no chance any time soon.

Fair.
