  • I mean… Electronics and the Internet are also following the laws of physics. But I get what you mean, levers should be the only activation, and gravity should be the only requirement.

    That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.

    It sucks that a 1950’s fridge can still function just fine today, but it also is a bigger strain on the power grid, and a leak in the refrigerant would destroy the ozone.



  • Keeping it on physical paper helps in almost all cases.

    1 - It separates the backups from the internet, helping prevent security vulnerabilities from stealing your MFA codes. Cloud backups along with cloud passwords means you would get caught up in any major data breach.
    2 - It allows you to set up a new device without needing to have the old device. If you lost/broke your phone, then those local QR code exports are gone.
    3 - People generally know how to keep physical things safe. You can put them in a bank’s safety deposit box, in a fire safe, or just in a folder in your desk. As long as they’re not also sitting near your passwords, they’re pretty useless to most people, and the likelihood that someone is going to physically try to swipe your account data is extremely low.
