I caught my dad using the stylus he uses on a tablet to press the hardware keys on his old-school clamshell mobile phone. Old people never cease to amaze me.
@peemee That’s what I do but I tend not to do the external HD bit 'at the time'. I put it off until later.
@matigo Given that some local papers cover national news it’s not a bad plan. The remaining problem though is the news agencies. I remember someone talking about working for one of the big news agencies in London, not Reuters, the other one, Associated something… Anyway, there was a whole floor dedicated to the Middle East. There was more space given to that region than to most other whole continents…and it was all paid for by Saudi Arabia. These are the very few institutions that feed basic news information to numerous outlets all over the World. They are information tollbooths.
@matigo I sometimes go to a cafe inside a supermarket and grab a bottle of Cranberry & Lime juice from the chiller cabinet. Cheaper than coffee. They have free propaganda rags as well.
