In my day job, I'm constantly contacted by tech salespeople trying to sell me their new wiz-bangs (or wiz-bangs as a service).

Not once, but several times in recent months, I've gotten emails thanking me for attending a webinar (which I never signed up for or attended) and could they follow up?

This is worse the the "negging" lead generation software from a few years ago that would send you increasingly passive aggressive emails if you didn't respond.

Having all kinds of tech problems these days, esp. having to do with recharging things. One of the banes of modern life, trying to keep things charged. My iPhone 11 no longer can be plugged in. I've tried all the hacks to clean it but no luck. So I have to wirelessly charge it. And my Macbook Air only sporadically recognizes being plugged in. So frustrating and probably the same problem, only with USB C instead of Lightning. #today #techsucks
