  • Induction is best in theory, however in practice it’s unfortunately often paired with these shitty buttonless capacitive controls that are harder to decipher that hieroglyphics as well as “”“smart”“” features

    They do still sell induction stoves with classic dumb buttons but they are either hard to come buy or aimed at professional chefs, which instantly adds two zeros to their price














  • The problem is exclusive rights.

    If you wanna watch 3 different shows but they are all on different platforms, then you gotta go and pay for all 3. You can’t just watch the Netflix version of Loki, or the Disney+ version of Ted Lasso.

    You mentioned monopolies but the problem is that each platform holds hundreds of monopolies, each for one specific show/movie.

    In a perfect world, there would be some sort of law or agreement against exclusive rights, where every service can show any product they bought the (non-exclusive) rights to.

    In that scenario, streaming services would have to compete by being the cheapest or offering the best service.

    But alas, this is not a perfect world
