All that the email I received from them said was that they fixed the problem and there was nothing further I needed to do.

This type of shit is exactly why I do pre paid. One $185 payment at the beginning of the year and I forget about it.

eBay is still the only game in town for a lot of items. Vintage record albums to name one.

Aside from some of the other reason already talked about, a lot of people are delusional. They think their second hand trash is worth millions.

Saw a person trying to sell a “Rare” Cinderella Black Diamond VHS tape for $400. Those things are a dime a dozen and you get one for $10.00

That’s the left lunatic fringe for you. They have never stopped talking about Trump since he lost the election. From daily CNN and MSNBC news reports to every late night talk show. They are completely obsessed with the guy and more than anyone else have kept his name in the news and kept his popularity up.

If AI was so great, it would find a solution to operate at fraction of the cost it does now

I’ve actually been printing more at home over the past couple of years than I ever had before. Both as a hobby and for my son’s school stuff. The trick is to buy those after market inks on ebay. I use the Canon PIXMA series and can get 5 packs of all 4 colors for ~$20.00us. I tried the refillable cartridges, but the effort and mess isn’t worth it.

The only thing with the printers is the print heads seem to clog too easily. Need to make sure you’re using it regularly.

I say this to my son sometimes. “Throw me the clicker.” The first time he looked at me like WTF are you talking about. Told him it’s another name for the remote, but didn’t tell him why, so he still has no idea

How old are you, 12?

All Social media is a huge cess pit anyway. Before Musk, Twitter was a sound board for militant leftist weirdos who would censor anything that didn’t conform to their agenda. No different now, just went the other way. Who cares in the end? It’s all shit

Not only that, but people are realizing that the battery’s don’t last forever. What happens when those batteries start to wear and you need to replace them and have to spend another $5k - $10k. For a car you already paid $40k for? Also, where are the used batteries going? Used EV’s are a huge gamble and a risky proposition. In the end, it’s just more toxic waste to deal with

Doesn’t looks like this is available for Linux? I have older hardware running Mint that this would be perfect for. Am I just missing it?

Don’t forget the shitty product too. TV and movies are mind numbingly bad these days. Sure there’s the occasional good/great show or movie, but the vast majority are just shit. Add that to everything else you pointed out and it’s no wonder they’re in trouble and keep hiking the fees.

Satan, is that you?

Yeah, and my food (Nutro) not only keeps increasing their price, but lowering the amount. Went from 32lb bag to 28lb
