Can we talk about how I used to design everything with a mouse until I tried a $40 vintage drafting table?

I found a 1970s drafting table at a garage sale last month, and using the parallel arm and a real pencil for initial sketches has completely changed my workflow, making my digital designs feel more intentional, so has anyone else brought an old physical tool back into their modern creative process?

Serious question, has anyone else wasted $500 on a 'smart' AI writing tool that just rephrased other articles?

Honestly, I spent that much on a yearly subscription before realizing it couldn't generate a single original idea for my tech blog, so what are the actual good AI tools for creative content right now?

Old kitchen drawer now holds my socket set

I had an old kitchen drawer from a remodel. I cleaned it up and added some dividers. Now all my sockets are sorted by size. It saves me a lot of time when I'm under a car. You could try this with any spare drawer you have.

TIL a client's machine was loaded with pirated stuff. Now I'm stuck in a moral spot.

I was running a scan and found a bunch of cracked software on there. I mean, part of me feels like I should point it out or even refuse service because it's not right. But then, idk, if I make a big deal, I might lose a customer and they might never get their pc fixed. Maybe it's just me, but I can't decide. What would you guys do?
