I don’t like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.
I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don’t have my secure 24 digit password with me.
I won’t subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.
Edit: They don’t even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.
That’s a perfectly valid opinion.
I like physical media too.
Some online things are worth the money, such as chat services like Threema, cloud storage like Filen…
There are a very few magazines I like to get in print, and even that minimal number gets out of control so fast. I use the library for digital books but pay for music streaming and get a thousand times more utility out of that money than I would using it to buy a CD. Also pay for music performance live, and a few bucks to the community radio station.
And personally I do have more trouble managing physical items, and easily feel overwhelmed by stuff.
Library is the way to go, and community radio.
Please tell me you don’t have one single secure 24 digit password?
You should really use a password manager and vary the length of your passwords. 24-32 digits for instance. That way if one gets stolen people still can’t brute force 24 digits.
Thank you for looking out for me and the other readers. Great advice.
I have started varying the length of my passwords as well. I don’t know how long any of them are.
All of my recipes are physical. I find them online, digitally edit, then print and put in my recipe binder. I will not use screens in the kitchen… It makes them dirty and I can’t make notes easily.
