Railroads and watches grew up together. Without realtime communications (the telegraph isn't quite), you depended on timetables and accurate timekeeping, or people died. If the guy behind you thinks you're off the track section at 5:11 and somebody's watch is seven minutes off, things can get bonkety-bonk really damn fast.

Not all watches were approved for railroad use, and if a model WAS approved, it Meant Something.

Some years, railroads bought every watch Hamilton could make.

the refrigerator that came with my old farm lasted 28 years, dying just as I left. The chest freezer in the basement was built in 1953 and almost certainly is still working 73 years later. International Harvester's Home Appliance Division was no joke.

For a while I had seven tractors, two trucks and a freezer, all built by International Harvester in a 20-year period.

Jean replaced the power strip under her bed, which she reported was too hot to touch. That could explain the slight ozone smell I have detected sometimes. Also, flat power strips seem to magically attract dust and cats to piss in the electricity holes, shorting them out.

There's a nice low pillar-style one on amazon I have used lately. Compact, can sit on the table next to the bed, has USB A and C, does not attract cat whiz. Around thirty bucks.

if I remember at some point the protagonist is put on trial for rebellion, I think. Like I said, I don't have a copy to pull out any more. 2nd wife "rearranged" things, much of which apparently vanished from earth. I read nearly everything he ever wrote years ago, but it gets a bit jumbled in memory 40 years later.

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

Think of the stupidest person you have ever known.

Generative AI is far stupider than that.

I set one of them an extremely simple test:

Green sphere. Red Cube. White table. No "style."

It failed utterly. It insisted on giving me red spheres. And a few green cubes.

When told specifically not to include a red sphere or a white cube, it had a shitfit and BOTH the sphere and the cube disappeared entirely for 100 or more cycles, at which time red spheres sneaked back in.
