Do you use Netflix or other services/products with DRM?
That's your answer.
A novelty Christmas song played six months after it spent six plus weeks at number one in the (TOTP) charts. "Aga do" anyone?
[Not sure that any recent charts in this century are worth a damn.]
My ex wife. Imagine a Karen. Now imagine she's a solicitor who believes she is the law - no, not the police/a police officer, literally the law .. statute .. Acts.
That went as you might imagine it did.
Gen X. The generation that couldn't be arsed to programme the video recorder or cooker digital time-clock, but knew how to.
There were a lot of power cuts in our (UK) youth and we remember saying to ourselves, "Ok, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?!". Still kicking arse and taking names.
We were the grown-up's TV remote control, with our 1200 bits per second magnetic tape storage for BBC B home computers (from the later ARM boys), before we got 360kB 5" floppy disks.
Tech doesn't phase us (yet); AI is a better average conversation than a spouse.
Internally. Without noticing. Or any discomfort.
Privacy.
Ownership. (not quasi ownership like 'buying' a HP inkjet printer)
Just run yourself a query "FoI uk police with criminal convictions". FoI stands for "freedom of information".
You won't be surprised to learn, from clicking a few of the results, that high ranking officers are convicted of serious crimes but are still great police officers.
Then, try the same query again with rape and sexual assault.
This is the best advice. Bloody hard for me to do, however. Not sure why.
.. And that's why average men and women got the vote in (UK) Representation of People Act 1918.
You'll find it much easier to bathe in water. Bathing cats in fleas is counterproductive.
There is no such thing anymore as a job for life anymore that ended in the 80s. I don't honestly think that's there's a career for life anymore either, that ended in the early years of this century.
Asking someone to choose something to do for 50 years (if they're lucky) at 16 or 18 is folly.
Build yourself a portfolio of skills which you are proficient in and enjoy doing. I would include (1) languages in that and (2) the technique of communication over and above any technical skills you possess.
I say languages because a second language awakens a different mode of thought, maybe not too much if the languages are closely related.
I'm Gen X and was probably never conventionally employable. Company Roles I've had seemed to seek me rather than me them. I wish I had been much more aggressive about a second language much earlier on.
It's not the language itself. It seems to assist in fluidity of communication. I'm not sure that I can explain what I mean by that: the structure of French sentences differs wildly from English sentences sometimes, but about 30% of English words are French in origin. It seems to encourage me to thing about how I am conveying my idea in words without me being cognisance of that happening.

That's not really the point of a gotcha question. The point is to score a (valueless) point over the victim and let the victim know you're (not you commenter) an arse.
