Corporations now buy the carpet bomb factory to expand their bomb product line and then carpet bomb their own factory after the war is over.

I remember some years ago, per-pandemic, when my coworkers and friends were getting hyped up about this stuff. I was the Luddite who they mocked for not being excited about it.
But I knew it was just more data gathering (spying) tech, and I knew the products would be made with planned obsolescence in mind, and I knew they would require subscriptions for cloud services. It doesn’t take any super power or precognition to know these things, it just requires paying a modicum of attention to trends and past performance from these corporations.
It’s discouraging how many otherwise smart people I know who are absolute suckers for tech bro marketing.
Don’t have FOMO (fear of missing out), cultivate FOBAD (fear of being a dumbass).
Yeh luckily they (corporations) beat hype for new toys out of me before iot really took off. Now I just see everything that connects to the net through the lense of how are they screwing ne and how soon are they killing it
