“Elemelons”. Now that is a new favorite high word, next to banana. Banananananananananana…

If you want to disarm this guy all you have to do is take his pencil.

Complaining that something works or that people prefer things that work is a very backasswards critique and deepens the presumed stereotype that home Linux users are just nerds who only like to tinker (which is just partially true).

I’ve had a similar experience with some monitor backlights. I was sent a “new” product that, when I opened it, I found it had been cut up (which breaks it), adhesive backing removed, parts removed from packaging, etc. Clearly used, returned, and sold back to me unchecked as new.

Almost as frustrating would be the third party sellers who intentionally send me something other than what I order, claim a mistake and that stock is out on the original order, and then try to convince me to keep it with a discount (price less than what I paid but equal to what I ended up getting), like some sort of shipping shell game. This has happened to me multiple times, from clothing to computer parts.

Mmmm, I love that my tv’s remote constantly listens to my conversations and sends recordings back to the maker all under the guise of “improving voice control”.

Or a cop trying to paint themselves a victim.

Each time Batman beat, did not kill, and captured the Joker for arrest the judicial system ruled him insane and he was held in a high security psychiatric ward/prison vs killing him. So, using the same measure, you could blame the laws, judges, juries, doctors, etc for all of Jokers future crimes when he broke out agian.
