Had a color wheel in a DLP TV explode on me. Fairly easy to replace but it was a pain to clean out all the glass.

There’s also restaurants and other shops that won’t even serve foreigners, even if you’ve lived there for years and speak the language

Sam’s Club is just a Wal-Mart with bigger portions and a Membership scheme…

Changed it. But the fact it was already enabled by default means they’ve already hoovered a copy of my data. Turning it off now just means they won’t get any updates.

First one that came to my mind too

Type of paint they used being exposed to the elements over time have caused it to shrink and warp. You see similar things happen to houses with old paint jobs.

Rephrase: removing Denuvo caused performance improvements

Healthcare was my initial thought too. Especially in the US it’s used way too much as a bargaining chip/greed center. Yeah I’ll just stop living.
