I found out my wisdom tooth was impacted a while back and had it removed. That was also when I found out I only ever had 1 wisdom tooth and never had the other three and apparently it's not uncommon.

    I acknowledge that, this is the result of unbridled capitalism.

    When a person uses social engineering and manipulation to extract money from an individual or company it's called fraud, when a large enough company does it it's just business.

    If only our government could give us some handy dandy consumer protection laws.

    Of course it's an Israeli firm that is enabling this greedy behavior. They already price gouge as it is. Can't we go back to the formula of "our cost + our profit margin adjusted for market". This bleeding the customer dry bullshit should stick in bullshit avoidable video game micro transactions.

    Pretty much. A more apt description would probably be "statistical model output sequence about uncertainty over own humanity, instead of correcting it's context researchers left this is there, leading the statistical model to bias toward more existential horror in it's own output".

    If a device relies on any kind of external service to initially set up or function thereafter, do not buy. Regardless of brand.

    This is what I strive for. When I was looking for a wall charger for my EV I was shocked at how there was only one option that wasn't "cloud" based. And those aren't cheap.
