Planned Obsolescence.
It's not just for cars anymore.

Actually with computer OS these days...sometimes sabotage seems to be involved:
You have to worry about dealership agents breaking into your garage middle of the day in public and setting your car ablaze.
They travel alongside deputies.
These crimes are sanctioned and there is no legal recourse.
They can do that after the fact, legally, because you are actually only "renting" that vehicle parked in your driveway, which you previously bought.
Silly rabbit real ownership is for libertarians.

I got a Windows Update and it destroyed most functionality of my computer.
Several times in fact.
I spent most of a couple days on that alone.
I documented..and rolled back...which was a Windows option thankfully.

Besides time effort and potential business losses, the biggest loss is TRUST.
