Great work everyone. Take a bow.

My youngest #car is a 2016. None of them have any kind of connection to the internet. I dread buying any reasonably recent car.
#GM announced that they won’t support #CarPlay or Android Auto in new vehicles. And now #Stellantis is shoving ads into your dashboard.
And then there’s that guy who found a dealership putting GPS trackers into vehicles they sold.

#airline “#technology”: it goes ding. Then a human—and underrated piece of technology—says “please step to the side, it’s not your turn yet.”
Airlines will soon replace this with #AI that will say “please do not board. You have too much carrion”

Bank to #bank #money transfers in the US are so broken. I had to send a bunch of money to my real estate agent. She asks “Do you use #zelle? #venmo?” No. Fuck that. I do not need anybody’s #privacy policy involved in transferring money. I could “send a wire” but that costs $25 in the year 2023. That’s also fucked up.
In the UK you just put in bank routing details and poof! Money moves instantly, securely, and free? Why? Because the fucking law says so. That’s why.
So I wrote them a check. In 2023 I wrote a check. Then I emailed them photos of the check. They used their bank’s mobile app to fucking take photos of the pictures of the check I sent. And it worked! Free. Electronic. With no third parties.
Stupid as hell.
