I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

    I upgraded to SSD in this time period. They're fast.

    I like my airfryer? lmao

      Are air fryers meaningfully different from those counter top convection ovens?

      I remember seeing those commercials as a kid and I wonder if air "fryers" is just them finally making the form and concept more marketable.

        Same mechanism, air circulating hot air. Convection is slow fan speed evenly distributing hot air whereas air fryer is higher air speed at higher heat.

        Air fryer results in crispier exterior, convection result in more even. Good for all the things you'd usually fry (but healthier). Convection is often still better for things you'd oven bake.

        Some of them are disappointing though, the first one I had wasn't good and would've turned me off it as a meme if not for eating my friend's food and trying again with a better one.
