When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

    We have an actual landline that doesn’t even need electric to work. The power that comes through the phone line is enough

      That’s like any land line phone.

        Most landline phones for sale in the UK need external power, I would say. Either they are a base station with a wireless handset, or they have an answering machine, or phonebooks and other functionality that needs extra power. Maybe I’m mistaken, but I don’t really see “just a phone” any more. Not that I’ve purchased a phone in like 8 years
