- What IBM execs called their older employees, and what they love doing with anything old.

- Tesla's cars randomly slam on the brakes at highway speeds... because they're made with software.
- Jeeps blowing false alarms and accusing their owners of being thieves... because they're made with software.
- How to rejuvenate your 10-15 year old computer and turn it into a speedy Chromebook.
- Apple AirTags - yet another technology unleashed on humanity with zero thought to consequences.
