Some of them not so easily, no. I had a subscription where I had to call and get forwarded twice over an hour to get someone who kept asking what they had to do to keep my service, dropping fees and halving my monthly rate for 6 months, etc. They make it really hard to cancel.
Honestly it’s fucking evil. I had cards expire and thought, awesome, finally done with those subscriptions! Then I noticed I was still getting charged for them on my brand new card.
We’ve let them take our money, manage it for us, and now they’re turning around and saying “don’t worry, you’ll still get everything you need … Just turn over your finances and decisions to us”.
Fuck this
We know this, but they’re gambling on current children to be raised in this world and not know any different.
Teach them different.
They want to close the loop and get the human out of it
I used to think that but I’m also noticing a pattern where it is just a waste of time and energy.
AI generates the big wordy email that sounds super formal. Someone else uses AI to summarize that email.
It’s like a dumb idea is decompressed and recompressed immediately and unnecessarily. We should never be using AI to do shit like write blogs or lots of words. That should be the human. It should only ever summarize if that’s it’s purpose. But inevitably, people get lazy and want it to write their article…
Sometimes I just keep clicking these things over and over and have them regenerate new prompts and keep spending tokens just so they think they got a surge in engagement but I couldn’t give a fuck less and just want to burn as many of their tokens as possible before I never visit their site again

2016 you mean?
With the economy of scale, it is probably cheaper to just drop a microcontroller in products
I believe lithium ion batteries need custom chips just to charge and discharge smartly
Shit, even connecting to modern USB c to negotiate voltage you need chips
They should absolutely ban disposable but as long as they’re smart about it and don’t try and make it a general vape ban. Anything with a microcontroller and OLED display should need regulation to be “disposable”. So fucking wasteful.
Vapes can and have always been something you can pop a battery and cartridge and custom juice in. There’s zero reason to make it disposable. Make the coil/cotton/juice cartridge disposable… Like a juul was last I checked? That’s reasonable.
And then next regulate how much nicotine can be in per ml. 60mg/ml is fucking insane. That is heart issue level of nicotine. I got buzzed off 12 mg/ml, used 3 or 6mg/ml regularly, and quit at 1.5mg/ml. There’s no fucking reason other than harm and addiction to provide 60mg/ml.

At first I thought this was some open source gen-z device to sip monster energy drinks while you vape, like at the same time. I saw the tube and thought it was a straw. I was intrigued and then read the first paragraph and has the same realization lol
WTF is retiring?
Rather retire and play starcraft
God I LOVE one day shipping from Amazon Prime TM, don’t you too?
Yeah I can imagine it messing up just once and burning the back of your neck would be enough to never want to turn it on.
Add artificial intelligence somewhere in there
Did researchers just use AI to train ecoli to play doom??? No but watch these ads
I did the exact same after. Love that service.
No hidden fees… Because if you try to charge past that limit I set, it gets denied lol
