Ryanair is a meme for this. They also want to make people stand while flying and charge for toilet access. They are hated for leading the charge in enshittification. This latest stunt could be part of their marketing strategy.

I bought one of their mattress toppers for Burning Man figuring that it's much more efficient to chill a bed than chill a space. However, setting the thing up required an internet connection. By using my phone as a hotspot, I was just barely able to bridge the gap so the mattress would connect to the internet. But then it also required a Bluetooth connection from the same phone to the bed, to actually turn it on, and the bridging-the-gap location was just outside Bluetooth range. What a completely frustrating, overengineered piece of crap. How about a simple couple of buttons to set the temperature?

Of course there's no easy way to use a screenshot directory that isn't in OneDrive. That's great.

Geographical mobility used to be much easier. In the age of credit scores and limited housing, it is extremely difficult to find a landlord who will admit you without a job, and much harder to find a job that will hire you without already being local.

Don't see any utilities there for reading my TPM chip. I don't trust these chips at all, seem like something to put other people's data on and keep hidden from me, even though it's my machine. Do not want.
