This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not really, not anymore, almost everything is soldered or integrated or pins even the wifi antenna is a trace on the board these days, laptops still have a few but that is just because they don't need to shrink that much but everything from dongles to phones don't have wires these days.

I'm pretty sure the battery is connected with wires in most electronics.

Just checked, the Apple Watch doesn't. It's probably the same for most smartwatches but they still have ribbon cables for the display.
