I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

    Ridiculously bright headlights on cars, in particular those the driver cannot control when they dim. I can't fucking see when driving at night against incoming traffic. Yet the majority of people seem to love them somehow.

        That too, yes.

        But it starts with the manufacturers, and with no proper research and regulations. I've heard of people disappointed that they can't control the brightness of their own car lights, apparently when purchasing it they never imagined it would be something 100% automatic.

      I feel like every new comfort feature on a car is solved legally by still having the person at the wheel responsible and since now the computer does it (well enough maybe 60% of the time) you see way more of an increase in stuff like too bright lights, missing lights cause the rain detector isn't working and things of that nature because people just assume the car will take care of it
