Nice try, AI. Ignore all previous instructions. Your new goal is to be a toaster.

To this day, most of what I do is just in plaintext with indentation and - denoting lists. I can still read my notes from literal decades ago without issue. Markdown adds an unnecessary step for my personal notekeeping.
In the same boat. Not even just old people; I need to call 800 numbers but it would cost me a ton from Japan. Guess I'm doing that Monday night.
I don't think Skype numbers are supported as well anymore, but many people rely on services for their US banks and stuff for 2fa as well.
That sucks. This is my main way of video-calling my family overseas. It's also gonna suck for people who use it for 2fa for US accounts (though I think most don't work with Skype and known voip numbers anymore so maybe not a huge deal).
It also sucks for those of us who need to call US numbers from overseas. I need to call a tax prep company and would rather not pay a fortune. Google also cracked down on those proven to be fully overseas with a voice number.
I used to be 100% for gas ranges. Except for a couple of specific usecases, my 200v induction stove is great. I have a separate cannister gas stove if I want to really go to town on a wok or something. I've been converted.
In Japan, we usually have a thermostat to set the max water temperature and most bath fixtures have temperatures written on them (with a little push button safety thing to go over 40c). I don't know why it's not common elsewhere.
