Of all the shit nobody asked for.

Well. At least it's not actively harmful like most things these days. (Cough COPILOT cough)

    One person asked for this. It has been an obsession of Adams' (PCWorld) since he started sniffing the exhaust of steam decks. There was one vendor at CES selling scented thermal paste. I find the whole thing hilarious.

    Quite disagree that it's harmless. Fragrances in the workplace are morally wrong (or at least kinda bad and should be discouraged). There is one hall near where I'm at that every desk has competing air fresheners and plug in stink bombs /shudder.

    Possibly harmful in the sense it promotes habit-forming rituals. But we're already addicted anyway, so maybe net zero effect other than brand loyalty

    Since when are habit and ritual innately harmful? You've genuinely got me curious.

    I didn't say it was innately harmful. If it's a feature no one asked for, there's a good chance marketing is taking a shot at getting you hooked on something beyond performance/functionality specs. So, an extreme opinion, but we are surrounded by addictive designs that extend beyond the expected functionality.
