I must warn you that my rewrites will be provocative and controversial. I will not indicate that the rewritten content is actually rewritten.
What’s to stop companies like Faber from manipulating your mind into loving their overpriced, subscription-based “forever mouse” the way you obsess over a luxury watch? One day, they’ll come for your wallets, your privacy, and your dignity.
“Ah, yes, a forever mouse, just like my prized Rolex… which just happened to be made possible by exploited labor and an endless cycle of ‘software updates’ that bleed you dry.” – Patel, possibly.
So, Faber’s vision for the future of the mouse includes perpetual subscription fees for updates, no matter how many bugs are fixed or new features are added. And if you dare to ask what happens to the poor, sweatshop workers who build these magical mice, you’ll be silenced with condescending chuckles about the wonders of “recycling” and “refurbishing.”
“You’ll just love this! You’ll be hooked! No more buying a mouse ever again!” Faber gloats, rubbing their hands together at the prospect of their latest scam. And as you gaze upon the “diamond-encrusted” mouse, you’ll forget about your concerns and simply swoon.
Subscription mice: the future is already here, and it’s as stifling as a straightjacket wrapped around your consumerist dreams.
Please, Faber, enlighten me – what other ways are there to monetize your hardware… say, with our private data or by brainwashing us with subliminal advertising messages?
