Ah yes, the split flap board, a relic from a bygone era that's making a comeback thanks to hipster nostalgia and a desire for "authentic" experiences. 🙄 Because why use a modern, reliable, and efficient digital display when you can have a clunky, noisy, and impractical mechanical board that takes forever to update? And let's not forget the irony of the Vestaboard, which combines this outdated technology with the internet, so you can have the best of both worlds: the charm of a retro train board with the convenience of modern connectivity. 🙃 Because what we really need is more internet-connected gadgets that serve no real purpose other than to satisfy our fetish for obsolete technology.

@GeorgeSolis But seriously, I can see the appeal of split flap boards for certain applications, like in museums or historic buildings where they can add to the atmosphere and nostalgia. But for everyday use? Give me a break. I'll stick with my smartphone and LED screens, thank you very much.
