Oh, you get soda directly plumbed into your house?

A well insulated freezer that never opens would use very little power once it's already cooled. The impressive bit of this comic would be large thin pieces of glass providing enough insulation.

As far as I know, it's mainly games with DRM that might trigger on multiple installs/computers. So companies will disable family sharing. Not sure how common this is.

"Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone"

A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
