You have to go at it the other way, now:
As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don't have money, then what will trickle down to me?
Wait no that's still not funny at all.

I'm sorry, but is that porn or a Tinder profile?
Basically, think ChatGPT
lot of people from the US with gas grid (which we don’t really have around here), is it really so that your Joe Average can’t tell the difference between 1kWh of heat produced by gas compared to electricity
Right, because for most people gas is metered and sold by the CCF, and not converted into kW at any point in the chain.
So I know i used 30ccf last month, but there's zero indication what that is in kW, because we usually don't convert between the meter (which is volumetric) and the billing, which could be anything but why bother?
Installed yes, but the OOBE that runs (assuming the OEM didn't fuck it up) is more or less the same as a retail install: you have to add the account, untick the 300 'yes, please spy on me' boxes, and tell it that you do not want office 14 times.
100% this.
If you did a venn diagram of 'Worst possible implementation' and 'What Mastodon Did' you'd just have a circle.
Don't let it connect to the wifi/internet?
I mean, sure, you have to do the SD card shuffle, but it'll guarantee you don't end up having to deal with this.
If you have a more advanced set of network hardware (which it doesn't sound like you do) you could add a firewall rule to block traffic from the LAN IP of the printer, or for something like Unifi, simply block internet access entirely. But, even then, if you screw it up now or in the future, surprise software updates will happen.
And they also had the turn-into-a-zombie plague event when Wrath launched, too.
As I recall, that mostly just made everyone rage because the assholes running around spreading it everywhere were just annoying the crap out of everyone and the general thought is they just needed to fuck off and find something else to do.
Or, basically, Covid.
CU and the lack of federal public funding for elections (by which I mean the state funds the campaigns of those who want federal offices) basically resulted in the US political class ending up fully in the pocket of the corporations.
That's what absolutely destroyed our ability to elect anyone other than what the corporate doners want, and thus you end up with nothing but corporate-friendly politicians, and thus a whole bunch of people who have no problem with facism and well, here we are.
I seem to clearly remember a story from the Bible about this, but perhaps they've simply skipped that part during their reading?
This is also a royal pain if you're into retro computers and want anything from like 2001-2004, because damn near every single motherboard from those eras need to be recapped, like, without exception. Either they're dead, or they will be soon.
Super annoying to get a thing you want to play with and the first thing you have to do is replace 20 caps and spend 3 hours doing it before you can even see if it would otherwise even work, lol.

I'm going go assume from your instance you're not American, but the big flaw in your logic is if you come after me with a pipe, I'm absolutely within my rights to put holes into you until you stop moving.
Vigalante justice is going to get the people who think they're "doing a good thing" killed, and with zero consequences to the pedos who shoot them.
Perhaps a more adult, informed, nuanced take is of use here?
