Yeah, I’m a big right to repair person. But medical equipment is a different level. This isn’t just affecting yourself, if a tech screws up people die.

So far… I can easily see some MBA wanting to add that “feature”. They have your driving history, they could easily route someone with Starbucks stops past more Starbucks for a fee.
Yeah there are a lot of possible nuances here.
LASIK can be optional, but there are a lot of situations where it can make a huge difference depending on her eyesight issues.
Teacher salary is NOT good in most places. And at 24 she’s entry level. Could be making less than enough to really live on, depending on CoL in her area.
It’s always risk vs convenience.
Personally I respect folks keen on privacy. But I’m old, I don’t have kids, and don’t give a fuck. Give me my voice commands and no hassle set up/use…
Funny you mention grocery type items. That’s where I first noticed how bad Amazon can price gouge. Sometimes 3-4 times what the price should be.
Amazon has very good deals OR very bad ones. I find Microcenter often equal to or even better than Amazon in most tech stuff.
Your experience is exactly why you shouldn’t make sweeping judgement on one data point.
Photo paper isn’t really tech. It’s a supply.
It’s a low volume niche item.
People that are buying it are less likely to care about cost (older) or want it right now. So Microcenter feels they can charge more. (IMO)
US has only one master and that’s capitalism. Israel has money and is making the war machine rich. If Israel started costing the rich in the US money that would change very quickly.
Many native English speakers don’t know them. To them (myself included) it just doesn’t “sound right” but I couldn’t tell you why it’s wrong.
13,000 bananas
Yeah that has getting put on a list written all over it …
That’s like saying exploding cars when you’re really talking about a bomb placed in a car…
Yeah, VPN at the very least adds another hoop they have to jump through.
Go to a vet hospital, many carry human safe (in a pinch) antibiotics, steroids, etc.
Yeah China’s explosive power needs growth and even the AI rose. It’s driving world power needs through the roof.
General rule of thumb, plan on less than half the people you invite actually showing up for any gathering.
Also… Wrestling…

Batteries scale horribly and are extremely toxic themselves.
SOME parts of Europe are cheap some are expensive and are subject to bad price spikes.
The reality is we need everything. More solar/wind is great! But we also need secure stable baseline generation that works. Nothing comes close to nuclear.
Absolutely, and especially at a Corp as big as Sony, you have a lot of office politics in play also. Folks pushing personal agendas because it advanced their career.
Wait did they change it and get it wrong a second time? Now it says URSS
ROFL
Oh! I got a similar story. My first roommate in college had a Police CD, Every time you got in it started at the first song, Roxanne… He NEVER changed the CD.
I never was a big fan but by the end of the year I hated that song.
