It is all fine and dandy when the machine works…

So, last month I had one of those fun episodes when everything suddenly breaks. The automatic mower broke, the dishwasher broke, and I am still using my gasoline mower and doing the dishes in the sink.

I called the mower service dude, and he arrived and offered us verticutting services, he said the grass is too dense. Verticutting is something I do myself, I have the machine for it in the garage. So I did it, and generated a literal heap of grass. And then I turned on the automatic mower, and it still did not work. So I call the fool again, and the second time he said the motor broke. So the first time he was trying to offer me gardening services that I don’t need, I never needed them, and he lied to me. What a faggot!

And I am still waiting for a component into the dishwasher. Bottom line is, you should always have a legacy option available to these modern day appliances. Because relying on the new shit is a way to hell, and waiting on the service to do their job is further hell. Here in Czechia we have a Ministry for Digitalization…

Its track record is dismal, it will tank the current government in the next election. Sadly, the next government will push this digitalization shit too. You literally need a pen and paper contingency along with digitalization. You also need a lot of energy for all this. We need new nuclear reactors and solar panels on every roof, geothermal wells in every garden, and new distribution infrastructure. All this shit can light on fire at any time, it doesn’t work in summer heatwave, when it snows or it rains it also has problems, when it gets frosty it freezes.
