>when looking that something carefully and meticulously designed is restructured, replaced or thrown away so quickly and carelessly.

That’s just a trend that has been accelerating for a while now. Make things quick, quality and longevity are qualities of the past. Is better to give a bad solution quickly than having to stop to think.

Or the company is sold to a big corp that doesn’t give a dammn about or privacy or one whose goal is to actually get the data.

I’m a believer that the hard work brings more joy, digging crates of vinyl and finding that rare album even if it has pops and noise feels 100x more enjoyable that streaming it.

>The technology doesn't do anything except add extra steps and convince the public something was done.

That seems to be the way the system works, selling a treatment rather than a cure, from antacids to national security.

I don’t know how that would work. Some states mandate that if the displayed price is different, the customer should be charged the lower price.

> the patty made from a single natural ingredient that's been a staple of the human diet since the dawn of man.

The fact that meat comes from a single source doesn’t make it automatically healthier, so is ricin, cyanide and polonium yet I wouldn’t include any of them in my diet. Plant based protein is healthier than its animal counterpart and this is proven by proper scientific studies, not by Tik-tok stars or nutrition “experts”.

I work on German cars on a daily basis, the “online diagnostic” of one of the top brands runs on a sort of remote desktop fashion complete with windows boot screen, I don’t need to tell you that speed is not one of its main features.

>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Also:

>No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

Have been the law for a long time too and yet…

I’be been reading schematics for over 30 years, sometimes i need to draw one just to understand an idea that I have. These “real” drawings (like fritzing) hurt my head. They might be useful for the casual tinkerer but anyone who finds electronics interesting should learn the basic symbols.

The weak link is that for “the haves” to have, the “have -nots” are needed. To have or to not is just a comparison, a millionaire needs the poor to be rich and to feel special otherwise when everyone is special nobody is.
