I'm not disagreeing with you. I saw that the owner was happy. I may have missed these queues, as I am not great at being social. I am looking at the deeper meaning. I am looking not at the actions, but what it represents, which is the fact that this teaches kids that they can buy people, and be happy in a world of commercialism is all. To me this is wrong.

It may be my mode of thinking. To me it feels like a power move. The 1% tend to do things like this to flaunt their money, or to manipulate the world into showing people what this kind of power can do for them. It builds people up to aspirations that absolute wealth is a positive thing. Yet, people that are given this kind of money all the sudden, tend to spend it all and bankrupt themselves. There is also the fact that although tech is older, there is still a market for it, as capitalism tells us all we need the hip new thing, people just see it as garbage.

This right here. If I remember correctly Gates even said there was no issue as long as people were using Windows.

That and it rubbed me wrong when he went into small businesses to buy them out, only to ridicule all their product for being useless garbage.

Auto makers are really bad about it. CAN Injection has been a thing for a while now. Cars are going IoT, and a flipper will be the least of the vulnerabilities as things progress.

Being autistic, this post hits home. Sometimes I feel too much anxiety about my passion, but then I see something like this and know that it's okay. It's cool when people love stuff.
