Here is a really interesting video on lightbulbs which goes into how the light bulb cartel standard was more of a min-maxing of lifespan vs energy cost vs brightness than it was planned obsolescence.

You only need the app to do ear shape analysis

Does this require the app for operation or can you temporarily install the app for config and then use the feature without the app?

I don't have any relevant experience so just thinking out loud here. Is some way to platform the voices of "clients" with pro-union sentiment to really drive though the point that the strike is ultimately for the benefit of the clients as much as for the workers and build solidarity on that axis?

I did the same thing starting probably around the same time as you except that did it start working for me 5 years ago and I haven't gone back to windows.

It's just what cars look like when they are designed for functionality rather than as a statement about the owner's masculinity.

There are two doors, one is labelled "Leopards that will eat your face" the other "Cat cafe" both lead into the same leopard cage.

There ought to be one of those quipy laws to the effect of "assume any acronym other than the name of an organization is a retronym until proven otherwise.

This is true and people should always be mindful of this. Additionally you should consider not just the ownership of the companies but also the infrastructure they rely on such as their rented servers, payment processors, on-site staff etc. However commercial VPNs remain a convenient compromise for many use cases. These services are probably fine for your shitposing needs but should not be relied upon for activism for instance.

Notice that despite the presence of many people who grew up with and use the metric system none are complaining about how hard it was to intuit metric units?

If you stop telling people what they should find intuitive for a moment and actually listen to people telling you about their experiences then you might find that this is not an issue.
