"if you don't support Ai powered privacy ignoring surveillance devices you're ableist!"

Crazy way to frame this shit.

And if you think medical device companies don't support their products well enough, just wait and see metas support...

I recently tried to help a friend track down a company for one of their mobility devices, but it had been sold 3 times and I couldn't get an answer from any of the companies about who to speak to for replacement parts.

So they ended up getting a new device altogether...

And capitalism got a boner. For the insane prices for medical devices, would be nice if they actually committed to long term support. Im still completely sure that tech companies would be even worse.
