My 10 year old TV which I watch 10 year old TV-series via HDMI from? I don’t think so.

Tomorrow there’s going to be article about how my car spies on me as if that’s not 15 years old too. Or something about my office job that I don’t have.

I’m becoming irrelevant. Not the target audience for anything.

It tooke about 6 months to find my truck that didn’t have the connectivity link it. I think everything after 2022 on these you’re pretty much screwed, but it was an adventure to say the least.

Unfortunately things wear out and you have to buy new ones.

That has also been my strategy (both for TVs and cars), but that doesn’t mean it’s reasonable to pretend that it’s a solution for the general public or that consumer-protection regulation isn’t both abundantly warranted and sorely needed.
