My flight was canceled. Luckily that was a partner airline. My actual airline rebooked me on a direct flight. Leaves 3 hours later and arrives earlier. Lower carbon footprint. So, except that I'm standing in queue so someone can inspect my documents it's basically a win for me. π

Banking is completely different from voting from a security point of view. None of the parties in a bank transaction are anonymous, and there are numerous ways to retry or roll back a transaction. Computerized voting is more like crypto currency. π
I had a friend when I was in college. Her older loser brother who lived in her mom's basement called one day. He asked if he could stay with her. She knew him and didn't want to have him staying with her and her boyfriend, taking their sofa, eating their food, and so on. She said "sorry but no".
Apparently he called everyone he knew looking for a place to crash because their mom gave him an ultimatum. Nobody would take him.
After he tried everyone, he killed himself in that fucking basement. π

I prefer a touchscreen in general. Although I realize that different companies have better or worse systems. I read complaints about self checkout in the USA and scratch my head since in Holland self checkout is lovely.
Trying to use AI is a dumpster fire though.
I don't understand how you are supposed to look at the photos taken with the great camera on an e-ink display?
I have a friend who unironically believes in expensive services for this reason.
I wanted to buy music, but a CD that I got in the 00's had some "protection" so that I couldn't rip it and listen to it on my MP3 player.
Now, I ripped it from a Linux computer and had no problems, but was so upset that the record companies tried this. I realized that it's not about right or wrong, but just about power and money.
Maybe a lot of their content is terrible but Delicious in Dungeon is a work of art!
