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)
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.

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.
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.
Men looking at boobs doesn’t make them unfaithful.

Yeah, Bill Gates destroyed a lot of other companies with his OS monopoly, Dbase (Access) and Lotus 1 2 3 (Excel)…
He did it to support the rich libtards! Not the poor working Republicans can no longer afford guns to stop the immigrants. And he hates Tiaywan !
/S
They aren’t though, pagers run in a separate frequency and their own towers with far greater range and penetration. Most aren’t even bi directional they just receive so there is no way to track them.
Pagers have more in common with a transistor radio than a cell phone.
Cell phones are easily tracked. Pagers aren’t.
Maybe you’re the picky comic relief guy?
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.
