Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in seconds.
Why is that? The light they give off is generally pleasing.
They were very expensive to run and had to be constantly changed. As a kid we always had a drawer of replacement bulbs ready. I don’t bother any more they last so long.
Led bulbs give off very pleasant light these days if you get the right colour temperature.
They usually don’t last more than 4 months, they waste a lot of electricity and they are too hot compared to LEDs.
They’re just so fussy - like for example growing up we had to use floor lamps everywhere in our house because whoever before us wired up the overhead lights used a really low max wattage so we were stuck with a pissy lumen output
Now with LEDs? I can stuff 1k lumen bulbs into a 40 watt socket with no problem! I can finally fucking see things now without needing like five extra lights! And I don’t need to worry about heat! (As much).
