you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?

    Sounds like the engineers listened to their bosses who told them to make it a subscription without making it a subscription.

      Yep. As an engineer you have a sense of good design, but if you’re getting paid to make a stupid design, you make a stupid design so long it complies with code.

        Having the ability to refuse public-harming requests like that is why engineers are supposed to be licensed.
