Concur. Also long time user here - but prefer to skip the data collection bit. Imagine showing up at the dentist some day and being chided for missing your back molars last Tuesday.

I think Kath and Kim is a keeper. Like Kingswood Country, the suburban social commentary runs deeper than the gags make it appear. Based on your mention of The Sullivans, I would also recomend Power Without Glory if you can find it. That is a largely true story from that era which was very well done.

Rupert Murdoch is Australian and still owns a great deal - possibly most - of the popular media. The beaches are nice though.

The primary use case is for making sure kids and elderly loved ones are brushing their teeth and keeping the brush charged. Also supposedly senses if all teeth are being properly cleaned, although based on reviews that sounds like a stretch. But yeah, the aggregated data is probably marketable somehow - I didn't check their privacy policies.

Electric toothbrushes are a thing. It's understandable that the vendors would like a rationale to track usage. Not beyond the bounds of possibility that in ten years it may be impossible to buy an electric toothbrush that doesn't track usage and try to phone home to report it.

Presumably, we can expect 404 to eventually replace 42 as the answer to everything.

A German guy once told me that the original penalty for violating that law was that the brewer was to be drowned in his own beer - to be fair, he was quite drunk at the time, so it might be complete bullshit.

so you order on a touch screen that has been used by every nosepickin' customer before you and then chow down on food you eat with your hands? Sounds delicious.

Hey thanks for explaining this. I trust you more than TEPCO. I do actually feel somewhat reassured now.
