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.

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

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 !

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?
Sounds like typhoid Mary
While I somewhat agree with you, people need personal responsibility.
The industry is intentionally preying on people. They have no business giving most of these people loans. Where is their responsibility?
Fast food places in general have gouged consumers for multiple times the rate of inflation the last few years. Taco Bell has beaten everyone else by a fair amount in being evil though :(
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.
