For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    Physical buttons in cars

    Repairable phones

    Repairable laptops

    Resoleable shoes

    Hand-crank drills (for those quick and easy projects where dealing with batteries or cords isn’t worth it)

    External frames on hiking packs

    Actually tough jeans that need to be broken in and last a while

    Headphone jack

      I agree with all but hand crank drills. If you own a battery drill it’s probably stored with it’s battery and with keyless chucks (that don’t work on a hand crank drill) getting a battery drill ready for work is faster than a hand crank, and it will do the job faster too.

      I miss physical buttons on everything. We’re a tactile species living in a digital purgatory
