It may not be conscious, but it sure does understand emotions - especially angst. I let that MFer know when it messes something up and I have to rework the BS it created.

It's more for me than anything. Kind of cathartic, really. "Man curses at machine, calls its mother a toaster."

No. More. Subscriptions. FML. I'm so done with them. And with expensive gadgets that score notoriously poorly for repairability. I switched to a cheap android and haven't looked back.

Personally, I'm over the displays. Give me real dials and knobs, please.

Ah, man, I feel for you. It has been years since my grandmother passed, but I still sometimes wake up screaming at night. This kind of thing would be torture for me. I avoid all things big tech - but the dates of the events themselves are still emblazoned in my mind. I hope some day we are both able to look back and just remember they loved us and we loved them... Until then, stay strong. I hope the saying "time heals all wounds" is accurate... Because I haven't seen it as of yet.

For now... Just wait, some bright-eyed underling will undoubtedly see this comment and then pitch their boss: "Man, oh man! I know how we can increase revenue, let's DISABLE brush heads when they hit 90 days and FORCE the user to buy a new one!" You've just doomed us all. >.< hah!

I don't. I still neuter Firefox (LibreWolf, mostly.) and disable all the sync nonsense.

Do I NEED to shower every day? Yes, I do. Hell, I could probably stand to take two showers a day. I'm hairy - VERY hairy - and I have a robust, musky odor that left unchecked quickly gets a bit too pungent, especially if I'm stress sweating. My fiancé claims to love it, but I'm always afraid others might think I stink. The second I can smell myself, I'm showering! I don't care how many times a day that happens to be.
