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.

This is kind of both an update on my current financial state and also a deep dive into philosophy and the ethics of money itself. As you maybe know I am struggling with even basic necessities at the moment. And I might get kicked out of the house. I have a lot more hope now than I had before that. I still don't exactly know how I will pay the rent this months. But judging by my father's tone when he spoke to me about it. It seems like it should not be a problem. I will probably write a proper update ones I get out of this mess.
