I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play ‘backed up’ games and having a custom dashboard was really neat....
I bought a Sega game gear (handheld console of the 90s) when I got my first job.
Now in my 40s I get the things I wasn’t allowed when I was younger and they’re usually gadgets or food related.
I have all the cool tech I need. I have takeaway too often and it always cheers me up, I have snacks and no one yells at me for using too much ketchup.
Truthfully, I don’t need it and probably never did.
I got it because of your opening question, because I suddenly could because I had money for the first time.
I want a steam deck too and yet I have absolutely no use for it and it would go unused on the side of my table just like the portable mega drive emulator I got a while back.

Companies are amoral entities (different from immoral entities) whose only purpose is to make profits.
That’s it. In most countries it would be illegal for a company to not work to maximise the value for share holders, in order to try and prevent people from ripping off investors.
We are supposed to have other institutions to hold moral standards, companies will only address morality when it impacts on their first aim, profits.
People keep pointing it out like they’re the first ones to notice this despite the fact it’s been that way from the beginning.
In a democracy people get the leaders they deserve, they get the companies they deserve and until they do something about it, this will continue.
Seriously, more people need to watch “a bugs life”. There’s more of us than there is of them. It’s on us to make it happen.

Turn off any services you don’t want and any programs you don’t need. I suggest hiding Microsoft services unless you’re confident, it’s easy to break something and they’re unlikely to be causing that.
The majority of anxieties around gene therapy are not around efficacy.
It’s long-term unexpected side effects.
Personally, I’m for these things, massive potential for a lot of people suffering. I’m not going to imagine there won’t be people who stand against it still.
