Bring back landlines, latch-key childhoods, wood panel TVs

landlines

My parents are still on a DSL internet connection. AT&T has been hounding them to switch over to their 5G home internet service because they plan to phase out copper phone lines entirely. Cheap bastards aren't planning to put up fiber any time soon, but here's a 5G modem that's slower amd less reliable than DSL.

So stupid.

Sell wood-panelled smartphones to get those sweet sweet nostalgia bucks.
