    Makes me think of the short film HYPER-REALITY by Keiichi Matsuda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs

    Microsoft announced that you can extend Windows 10 support if you enroll in Microsoft Backup or purchase “Microsoft Points.” Just think if they get printer manufacturers in on this, just to keep your ink cartridges “authentic” and up to date, and you can keep using Windows 10. And so on...

    It’s interesting/unsettling to extrapolate a dystopian future from these moves. Keiichi Matsuda’s short film “Hyper-Reality”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs

    Reminded me of the 2016 dystopian short film HYPER-REALITY,

    where AR technology is used for exactly the opposite:

    superimposing ads and a million other virtual distractions over the real world.

    This Japanese/Colombian short film on that theme from a few years ago has really stuck with me

    Me neither, but I think we are going that way.
