I mean yeah you’re not wrong, but physical media doesn’t last forever either. Vinyl is pretty good, but pretty much every form of digital storage will slowly waste away without some dedicated upkeep effort. Unless you’re really willing to put in some serious effort maintaining a personal digital archive it kind of is just better to treat everything as a lease.

The only thing that really worries me are stuff like family photos and videos, and other important digital documents. Yeah I can print some of them, and I should do that more, but on the other hand they’re probably safer from destruction with Google than they are in my house. Both would be best though.

Or you could try reading what was actually said properly, rather than making up something different that wasn’t said by anyone except you.

Then you missed the whole point.

I lived and travelled in Europe for 6 years and never saw a hotel room with anything more than a kettle. Actually no I saw a couple of more hostel type places that had a common kitchen. Still not great for families though.

I can’t cook food in a hotel though. Also they kinda suck with kids.
