   When you buy* an electronic device: a phone, laptop, rice-cooker, Christmas lights, TV, anything the first thing you should do is find out:

   1. Does this have an operating system? (Are there other options?)
   2. What applications does it have? (Are there other options?)
   3. What options can I adjust in the system settings? Are there hidden settings?
   4. Does it use the internet? Why? Does it need to? Does this make me happy?

   *ideally some of this should be research before you buy

     5. Does it contain a microphone? How difficult is it to break or remove said microphone?
