Oh no, I need to raise my hand to turn on the lights. Solution: have a multibillion conglomerate control everything in your house via an online service they control and can shut down on a whim.

Yeah, this is just stupid, I agree. I mean, I wouldn’t ever use smart devices in my home. Not just because corps gathering data, but because I truly believe this just makes you lazy… well, at least me. And there is nothing worse than being lazy. Everyone is, from time to time, so am I, but getting out of that circle sooner rather than later is what matters, and smart devices just make the process a lot harder IMO.

Oh no, I’m clumsy and keep losing an essential thing. Solution: have a multibillion conglomerate go through all your purchases and identity at all times.

I wouldn’t say I’m clumsy, I’ve never forgotten my plastic before I had a kid. There are just a lot more obligations and as I said, he thinks the world of me, he’s litelarly glued to me, and the constant questions are distracting, especially when juggling with 3, 4 other things, keeping an eye on him on top, and… well, it just happens 🤷.

I dunno, at what point is the solution not worth that tiny inconvenience?

It’s not tiny if I have to wait 3 days for the bank to issue me a new plastic, and you rarely have cash in you. I mean, who deals with cash nowadays anyway.

You can like, put your payment card in your phone’s case. Heck you can even put bank notes in there.

That is an option that another user mentioned and yes, this hasn’t occured to me before, so thank you as well for the suggestion 👍. Will look into finding a case that maybe has room for a card or two in the phone 😉.
