A lot of electrical devices today have a switch of some kind to deactivate the device after a certain period of time. Sometimes the device just gets annoyingly slow. In any case, it is implemented in software on that device. And the reason for that is Planned Obsolescence. Forcing the user to throw away this device and buy a new one.

Something along the lines of 75% of all humans are tasked with mindless work, which is often pretty much decorative and is there only to facilitate a certain governmental goal of employment. Basically non of us are doing anything actually useful and we are all struggling because of it. And I often feel depressed doing such jobs, yet there is seemingly no obvious road to escape them.
