Easy. Manufacturers pay for endcap displays and choice shelf space. It’s advertising for them. (source: I work for a brewery, and that’s how they put together the beer aisle. I’ve seen the software used to build the shelf arrangements.)
Grocery chains have software for putting together shelf arrangements. Suppliers have to pay if they want their products at a quality location at eye level, or near the ends of the aisle. And of course pay more for things like endcap displays.
I remember learning to use a Franklin Planner at one point.
These days, I use Google Calendar and Tasks, simply because I keep my phone on my person at nearly all times. The key to using these tools long term for me is to keep them immediately available.
Oh look, tankie horseshit. How many millions died as a result of “efforts to establish socialism”? So why don’t you shove that disingenuous bullshit up your ass.
I think in the later dying days of the floppy disk, the manufacturers made them with really poor quality. It used to be in earlier years, say the 8-bit years when floppy disks were still floppy, that the disks could keep your data for years if you treated them like vinyl records and never touched the magnetic surface.
In the late years, I’ve seen floppy disks that failed almost immediately.
