New fandangled crap

How many times do we say, especially on new stoves, “just give me off-on button and a knob low to high. Just bought a new Samsung stove, all computer except the buttons stick out the front and every time they are bumped they turn the stove on. Only one fire now and 2 accidental turn-ons and the kitchen isn’t even finished. Oh wait, there’s an electronic lock but only for the oven. Junk!

And I bet they don’t last 40 years like the old ones do. Lol

Bought a new Samsung stove 5 years ago. Fixed it 3 times. Twice the service guy came, once a trip to the city 2 hrs away. Then broke down again. This time estimated to cost half the price of a new one. Loaded it up and took it to the dump.

Bought a whirlpool. Salesman said oh that's not too bad. Usually they last 5 to 7 years .FFS

Think of your kids, what will it do to their self-esteem if their friends come over and see your stove has knobs and element burners instead of push button controls and a glass top.....OH THE HORRORS! Scarred for life!
Or worse yet, what will your trendy friends and people you don't even know think!?

I was half joking about the ovens! But Good grief, 5 to 7 years!

And yeah, I have heard the stories about seeders not being ‘connected’ to the tractor and hence not working. Some things are sure nice, I am all for it for those who are good with it. It is so cool what can be done these days, it’s just not for me, as i am simply not a techno guy. It overwhelms me. I can hardly find agriville in the morning. If the powers that be ever pull the plug though, society will be in real trouble imo.

Thank goodness for some of the new technology.
When my back went out last week I really did not know how I would seed because I could hardly walk.
Now that I have the tractor in the field I realize it’s got a heated seat. So with the heat on and the tractor rocking gently back and forth kind of working the heat into the spine. So it sure seems to help!
