the data they collect from scanning the upcs in your fridge alone would be worth millions-- how fast you consume one thing vs another, how far away you live from the store (derived from data
sharedtaken from your grocery “rewards/membership” card), what kinds of meals you’re making with the ingredients, and the size of those meals— all information they will exploit to make even more money from you - Comment on Meta is now a defense contractor 18 hours ago:

“nothing to hide”
just wait until your smart fridge notifies your insurance company (who knows you’re diabetic) that you just bought a gallon of NOT sugar free ice cream. think they’ll give a rat’s ass that it’s not for you? i bet they’ll be more than happy to raise your premiums either way. or worse

google “facebook mental health” and you’ll get an idea. if you’re fine using it, that’s great. but not everyone is like you. and the “i’m fine with this–everyone else should be too!” attitude is one thing i saw constantly on facebook

signs are invisible to people. at my workplace we had to lock one of our double doors because of a maintenance issue and i put a sign saying “use other door” with a huge arrow pointing to the other door. the instant i walked away after attaching the sign directly on the door handle, someone tried the locked door. pushing the handle with the sign on it.

having been on facebook since ~2009 it was undeniably hard to quit, but finally deleting it (not ‘deactivating’) last year was one of the best things i’ve ever done for my mental health

i still prefer the feel of a book, but the ability to have thousands of books on one device, being able to tap a word and get a definition without having to open another “book,” negation of lighting requirements, highlighting, multiple bookmarks, customizable font/size-- if it’s not an art book or graphic novel, i’ll deal with reading the e-ink screen

funny how so many brands have tried to break into the denim market with $150+ jeans, yet levi’s is still the go-to after 100 years. even more so now that they make the $20 levi’s signature brand at walmart-- just as good as the “real” ones and even more comfortable

the ereader i have doesn’t handle images well at all. if you’re reading a book with a photo or map or anything that isn’t coded text, then it sucks. my current book has some text that was scanned as images-- i have to zoom in and drag the screen to read it, and the refresh/“frame rate” for e-ink is inherently terrible. a tablet would solve this, if i didn’t care about privacy
