It was weird calling tech support when my internet went down and they’d say ‘Does your television still work?’ Bitch, I dunno, it’s not even connected to anything, I use streaming. The funniest was when satellite television companies showed up at my door to pitch me, obviously based on lists of competitors’ customers they’d purchased. ‘We’re x dollars cheaper with less downtime.’ ‘Okay, but I don’t use the cable service, just the internet and I stream everything.’ ‘Oh… uh we’ll give you DVR for free.’ Bitch, do you know what streaming is? I don’t have to manage recording and saving shit that still has advertisements. Your model is dead, stop trying to sell me its corpse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) "Is your typewriter still working?" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago pssssh I can’t hear you. pssh Please speak clearly into the cone on the wall. psssssshh permalink fedilink source parent
