Last week, I arrived home from a funeral and decided to pop into my home office to make sure everything was prepared for the return to work day ahead. As I sat down to log-in my laptop, still feeling a bit wobbly from the day I had, I was greeted by the Nintendo Talking Flower toy informing me that "wasn't life great."

That was the point where I decided it was time to take its batteries out.

tech writers seem to have the habit of buying the most useless consumerist dystopian things that corporations throw out, and then make a full article on how the thing didn't work out well and they're stopping to use it. Maybe they just to that to have something to write about, or maybe they really live in a different reality in order to not notice the absurdity upfront.
