>you seeing stuff about analog appliances from your sources?

No, but while I can't recall any filters that would hide them I don't see general household appliances unless somebody slaps wifi & a screen on it.

>Internet of Things crashing and burning?

Definitely singed around the edges.  The poor longevity issue seems to almost be common knowledge BUT -as EG has pointed out- common knowledge in our circles ain't all that common in the general public.

The privacy issues are adding some heat but it's tech media heat.  If I mention an incident to my very techy math teacher daughter she isn't likely to have any previous knowledge.

>11.5 years old.

Oops, I thought I <warped> it.

I noticed all the hispanic surnames while reading election results and this thread came to mind.

QuoteMedicare Advantage (originally created as Medicare+Choice in 1997 and renamed in 2003) began to surge in popularity significantly in the late 2000s and 2010s, eventually surpassing half of all eligible Medicare beneficiaries by 2023.

So I probably started researching it around 2013 when I was approaching 65 and having to make decisions about Social Security ^{(work until 70)}. MAdv wasn't all that popular in my rural area, or so it seemed.

>one-way doors

THAT is what I found. Some financial advisor sites were recounting horror tales of cases where retirees had originally opted for MAdv but later decided to switch to the .gov's Medicare. Nope, almost impossible.

BTW, this isn't the first MAdv article I've seen over the last few weeks or months but it was the 400% that made it impossible to ignore.
