I'm watching Louis Rossmann so I know their greed. But even us, we can see it with stuff targeted for us.

I already hate marketing because they lie on everything. Show me the specs, then the specs (if possible) in my common situation (it change, eg. Battery over temperature). Then, if you want put common use, then your bullshit generic marketing.

I also do electronics (not a lot though, and as personal). What they call "datasheet" (read it specifications) is gold by modern standard. You want to know the output at 10, 30, 60 degree? 3.3v, 5v, 50v? Here, take this! Usually the first section describes the product with general usages. Then the features.

All that in a short way. Except the first paragraph that somewhat look like generic marketing blabla, the other part are straight to the point.

All companies want to get all your money. If they could, they would just get it straight from your pay check without providing anything.

The way to go around is with subscription (free money on a regular base) and closed part (so you need to buy exclusive from them so they can get all the money).

Also, and it is a damn big issue, "we can barely do anything". Do you have the money and knowledge to start your own farming equipment manufacturer? To produce cellphones? Cars?... I would like, but I can't. I won't even be able to do 1/90 of that.

If I could, I would almost sell it for the price to build. Make sure management don't eat all the money for no reason (like their wage). trying to block wage increase if the bottom get any, reduce stupid layout to be always on the low hierarchy one (you know, the one actually making money to the company?)

Unfortunately, life suck and all that is impossible.
