Aura digital photo frame allows family photo sharing

wait, what?!?

I was in the middle of writing a rant, but that tops it for sure. or more like the icing on the cake. jeezus.

Internet of Things

face recognition

family photo sharing

always online?

seriously?!? just set up a used tablet (old and lying around or something used for 10-20 bucks from ebay) and you good to go. we got instagram and facebook for fucks sake. email. direct connections. remote desktop. everybody, everybody has a smartphone now. why buy a crippled tablet aka “digital frame” which is otherwise completly useless except showing pictures in low-quality. more for a landfill? dont we have enough displays already? you know how many working stuff I find doing dumpster-diving? right now there a 2 functioning 19"-tft-displays next to the trash in our courtyard.

wasnt sure to push “Reply”, because my ego tells me I sound like a pig-headed moralist asshole who loves to tell people what to do, but when do we stop with this madness “eternal economic growth”? at 2 degree celsius? 3? or more like 5?
