With regards to COMPUTERS:
Although, keep in mind that Microsoft is trying to work to a system where you eternally lease your operating system, and associated programs. Just as it used to be with IBM and the mainframe computers.
I don't know about most other users, but there is no damn way I am going to ever lease Microsoft's Shit operating systems. Time to learn Linux! It pisses me off that you essentially have to purchase MS office anymore. Consider, it is not like MS is going to come up with some giant leaps with regards to Word processors, Spreadsheets, databases, Powerpoint, and Crist, they have not updated Publisher in literally years! Yet we willingly pay $65 or so a year for that crap that most people use, but is essentially static programming. Intercourse that!
With regards to CARS:
It is equally disgusting that in the year 2022, we are still playing endless games with automotive dealers to purchase a damn car. The endless games with trade in's, finance, and the endless, "let me run this by my sales manager" horseshit. Incidentally, IF you are buying a car, there is a great book by a fellow named Remar Sutton called, "Don't get taken every time."
Here: https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Get-Taken-Every-Time/dp/0143038885
Well worth the investment if you are going to play their game. Sutton highlights all the stupid tricks Dealers want to play, and how you can put a stop to it.
