  • I’m curious about something.

    I fully understand your sentiment of things that don’t need to be smart, being “smart”. I have never connected my TV to the internet, because fuck that. I think there’s a bunch of things that are getting crap they don’t need layered on, all to mine more data

    That said, what’s the issue with the TV not updating to the latest software? Isn’t that basically the same as a TV that never needed updates? No chance of a new feature, ever?

    The key difference is the spyware, but that wasn’t what frustrated you, specifically.

    Had a situation where an alliance partner got me to the long haul carrier late, missed the flight. The alliance partner (united) was responsible for rebooking-- offered me a downgrade in service class that same day and an added connection or next day on the original airline, class, and number of connections.

    Note the “next day, maintain service” option was not coming with a hotel voucher. Work trip, they paid the hotel, but god forbid it was someone who didn’t work for a large mnc…

    This was also due to weather so, “deal with it, because Jesus wanted it this way” prevailed in the contract of carriage.

    You don’t need to ask a 3 year old why they are being disobedient. But it’s perfectly reasonable to ask why they “aren’t doing what you asked them to do”.

    Those are all different from why u no lissen bebe
