Bunch of nerds 
Bunch of nerds
Or is that herd of nerds. Then everyone will just nod their heads going, yep.
I hate how 5g is said to be better than 4g but need a lot more towers to give the same coverage.
No biggie if they had installed enough of them before going to 5g. How's a man meant to stream music while driving in the wop wops? OK I know the answer, but I don't want to be limited to what I've downloaded........or insert a CD......we have 5g after all.
Seems a thread of first world problems.
They just tell us that 5g needs more towers. It doesn't really. They just need more towers because they are piggybacking the mind control signals over the wireless network.
Good luck controlling my mind. Even I can't get that mess under control.
Maybe they need more to cover the ones people are burning down.
Now we are at first world foil hat zone.

I don't even have to watch that to say "Nope!"
That's a hard no for me.
His visitors could at least got him a new window but what they did give was good anyway. That man is one hard man.
The authentication dependency chain between apps, devices, locations, email accounts, and SMS is a big mess and painful to use at times. But don't worry, ID.me, facial recognition, phone DNA scanner, etc will soon make it so easy. (I am joking but wonder if the future might be worse).
The Gopro Hero action camera is the best in that category. It is now at generation 12 but won't upload clips unless the device is plugged into a charger no matter if the battery is at 100%. But their software experience is generally lacking overall.

Here's the latest I'm dealing with. In a way technology but in a way not.
My Nitecore rechargeable headlamp would not charge correctly. Just quickly flashing LED indicators. So I go to google to search.
This is why people go postal.
I have a simple question - What does the quick flashing LED charging light mean?
No one can answer it because no one even reads it. Instead you get bounced around because god forbid you just might have a problem with your $5.00 flashlight.

- Google: Nitecore NU33 fast flashing led. (and various other combinations which yield no results)
- Nitecore website has a contact us form. I fill it out and explain my question
- Nitecore rep replies: We are sorry, blah blah please provide receipt
- I ordered from Amazon so I send the Amazon Invoice
- They say sorry "we are Lumen Tactical on Amazon please email the manufacture directly" and provide an email for nitcore
- I forward the email chain stating "I don't need a warranty claim I just need a question answered"
- They reply with "thanks for contacting the Nitecore factory in China" and they want the serial number and receipt
- I reply with the same Amazon Invoice and photo of the serial number
- Awaiting reply

I can't wait to take my "smart" home offline with something like Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi. All this cloud access many of us allow in our lives feels like a figurative colonoscopy...literally.
I am not familiar with your flashlight, so I sound not respond, but sounds like a problem with the rechargeable battery. Like it has high resistance, poor connection (low supply voltage) or similar.
But I agree with your sentiment, that the manufacturer should be able to answer a basic question about their flashlight without giving the runaround.
I went online this morning to try to check status on some prescriptions through the VA. I had to create a Gov log in account.
In doing so, I had to enter some personal information, including a phone number.
After I entered the info, they had to verify that it was me making the entries, so they sent a verification code to me by text to the number I had just entered.

Sounds like government to me!
Anyone planning to login into the EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System) to make an Q4 2023 estimated tax payment by mid-January may also need to create a login.gov account. I submitted a payment in December and was surprised by this new procedure as compared to Q3. The Gov account site looked less intrusive than alternatives like ID.me, but still seem like too much to be asking for sending them a "check".
Technology is great until it fails.

Adding more to the story
Nitecore China told me to message the Amazon seller.
For me this will be the end of it. I’m not chasing my tail and being bounced around. I simply will never order a Nitecore anything again, and I will inform anyone I know interested in their products to do the same.
