To me, that’s the most disgusting part: they could live the most lavish lifestyle possible and not put a dent in their savings.
Nobody deserves that kind of wealth, nor should any one person control that much wealth. All those billions they’re sitting on are funds that should have been allocated for better education, healthcare, transportation improvements and upgrades, affordable housing, etc.

I feel like that’s where we’re headed at this point. Major corps have all the tech and all the money. At this point we are seeing every new iteration of consumer tech/electronics costing more, lasting less time, and offering no greater value than previous iterations while sometimes actually taking away features and functionality in the process. They know they are the only game in town now and they only have to offer what they feel is enough to placate their clientele–if they even choose to go that far. People grumble, then they pay.
AI will replace people in many of these situations and it will suck and be less helpful and very problematic but that’s the best they’re going to offer. If anyone comes along trying to offer anything better they’ll be swiftly dealt with by defeating and/or buying them out. There will probably be like 5 corps that own everything one day (maybe that’s too many–3? 2 perhaps? I just can’t see it being 1 for some reason)

Can’t you just call customer service and keep escalating it to the next department until it’s solved?

Not sure about that! Did LTT get the prototype back to the Lab it was borrowed from?
- Comment on linus tech tip 4 weeks ago:
From this write-up: knowyourmeme.com/…/gamers-nexus-vs-linus-tech-tip…
A major concern Gamers Nexus highlighted was Linus Tech Tips’s June 24th, 2023, review of a product prototype by Billet Labs[2] in which they used an incompatible piece of technology despite Billet Labs reportedly having been clear about the specifications the product needs to work accurately (seen below).
Moreover, the prototype worth thousands of dollars was purportedly given to Linus on loan with the expectation of it being returned. However, Linus supposedly did not return the prototype to Billet Labs. Instead, he auctioned it off to the highest bidder, which could have been a direct competitor to Billet Labs.

Another option i was thinking about just earlier today is the “nature” wallpaper that used to be a thing back in the 70s or so. Whole walls covered in giant photos of rainforests etc. I still see them in customers houses on occasion, usually sun-faded which kinda adds its own ambiance

Corners were cut and mistakes were made.
This is my assumption about nearly all modern tech. We’ve reached the point where it’s nearly standard practice to release unfinished products and/or software. In many cases, it ends up being a particular person or small group of enthusiasts that end up finishing and polishing the product.
Not only that, but support for many tech products is shorter-term than ever. I was talking to a mechanic recently who was surprised to be informed by Alfa Romeo’s parts department, that they did not offer replacements for a particular part for the brake lines on a car that was less than 10 years old and referred the mechanic to find a seller on eBay who makes them. There was indeed one company making the part and selling them on eBay. That was the aftermarket support, lol!
