Knock at the door this afternoon.
"Package for you. Sign here, please."
"Is it for Lori?"
"Yes. Sign here, please."
"Is it a subpoena from the DOJ?"
"I don't know. I'm just the UPS driver."
"Well, the uniform is pretty convincing."
I signed it, even though I don't think I am expecting anything.
It was from Pueblo VA Audiology. My hearing aids have been returned!
The factory replaced the batteries, updated the software, and did a thorough functionality test. Then they sent them to our Audiology Clinic, where my Tech rechecked everything, then downloaded my programming into the newly refurbished hearing aids, and shipped them to me.
What is interesting to me is that I don't use most of the new AI-controlled features. I find them very annoying. So I have dumbed down the hearing aids so they do what I want, not what their AI wants. I don't need AI voices whispering political slogans in my ears or telling me I have a call when I can hear my phone ringing. Seriously. Just stop it.
So the result is something like taking a high-end computer, running the fastest CPU and memory, a top-of-the-line graphics card, and a 5 TB SSD drive, with an ultra-nitro-cooled water pump... and running Windows 5 on it. Or maybe Windows 7. It all went downhill from there.
