There is a book called “Tiny Habits” by BJ Fogg. He invented most of the techniques companies like Meta use to manipulate you and me.

In the book, he explains how to use the same techniques to control your own behavior.

I personally am in much better physical and mental state since I read it.

You cannot beat yourself up until you improve. It does not work. It is a myth.

Why would a telecom company care what the content of the bits they are being paid to transmit?

Exactly. I can’t remember syntax for all the languages that I have used over the last 40 years, but AI can get me started with a pretty good start and it takes hours off of the review of code books.

I don’t know if it’s possible to be an audiophile anymore. I haven’t seen a store where you can compare gear since the 1980’s.
