Update: Pulling wire in old houses used to be a whole different game
Back in the early 2000s, running a new keypad wire in a 1910s craftsman meant fishing with a coat hanger and a lot of swearing. Now I use a flexible fiberglass rod kit I got from a supply house in Tacoma, and it saves me at least an hour per job. The change came around 2015 when wireless tech got better, but I still prefer a hardwired system for reliability. What's the oldest building you've had to retrofit lately?

Everything's getting easier but maybe less satisfying, right?

Honestly @the_nina, is it really that deep? I can order food in two clicks, but it's just a burger. I can find any song ever made, but it doesn't hit like finding a CD used to. Easier doesn't always mean better, but it also doesn't mean we're all miserable now. It's just different.
