The Russian roulette strategy for content aggregation.

What I find more frustrating is undocumented environment variables to override config locations.

The amount of times I've had to dig through the source code for a CLI to find an environment variable to force the config somewhere should be zero. But it's not.

Be careful on that appliance recommendation strategy. Even small businesses salespeople receive kickbacks from manufacturers. And pretty much every service plan from a store these days is underwritten by someone like Assurant.

If you can get in touch with either someone in customer service or a repair tech then you'll get the best info.

Customer service generally has the incentives in the right place. If they tell you something isn't returned often then that means they don't have to deal with you coming back and complaining for no monetary benefit to themselves.

There's also lots of channels on YouTube from small appliance repair companies and they're more than willing to tell you who sucks.
