Do any search engines pay attention to quotation marks (i.e. the must-have phrases) anymore? Christ, they're so dumb now. Used to get much better results back on dogpile or hotwire or lycos lmao

I miss that search engine. For that matter I miss everything about the old Internet.

About this sub

This is for all that connected crap you see that makes you go why? Bluetooth connected egg trays, dishwashers with internet connectivity, every device that could happily run locally but requires a back-end server to even turn on. All of that goes here so we can make fun of it.

This sub is for the hardware and software of the Internet that doesn't need to be of the Internet. It's the "standby" light on a pencil, or the stupidity of overreach.
