❌ Your car needs a subscription for heated seats.
❌ Your printer won't print black text because you're out of Cyan.
❌ Your OS serves you ads in the start menu.
❌ Your "Smart" home stops working if the company goes bankrupt.

I don't need more AI features. I need "dumb" tech that just does what it’s told and lasts for 10 years. But where's the share holder value in that right?
