Dear Streaming Services,

When I have only one single profile set up, please stop asking me "who's watching" whenever I launch your app. I'm watching. Me. The only person who CAN be watching at this point in time.

Thanks.

Even with multiple profiles, please, please, please, allow a default profile. On the device I'm typically watching, I'm the only one who uses the device.

It's funny how they put so much effort into "based on what you watched, we think you'll like this", but they can't figure out that only 1 profile gets used 99.9% of the time.

The computer boots too fast for me to access the BIOS. What a first-world problem.

The woes of modern life... brutal, just brutal. However are we going to survive?

On my VMs, I put a 5 second delay in the BIOS bootup until I am happy and remove the delay.

When a download fails, use 'restart' and instead it downloads an HTML page.

Why does EVERYTHING have to have an AI feature?

I regularly use an ad blocker. I want an AI blocker.

Just to keep AI feature from creeping into software I use for very standard stuff. Like Adobe Reader for PDFs, it now has an AI feature that keeps trying to put itself under my mouse pointer. I want to make it disappear until I explicitly WANT it to be invoked.

And similar stuff that appears whenever I need to log in to Windows, after putting it to sleep for the night.

Etc.

An AI tool in an application where it *should* be used is ok, as long as I can make it hidden until needed. An AI tool in an application where I will NEVER invoke it should be able to be completely disabled.

We should have known that war was declared once we saw the talking paper clips.
