It’s dumb, but it’s fun, atleast that’s the case for me

Honestly sometimes we’re fine with cash grabs too, aslong as they don’t require much attention. For example John Wick is a really fun and easy series of films to watch but you don’t need to have 100% attention throughout

In my opinion, the only acceptable way to eat most vegetables is roasted and seasoned. Frozen vegetables are easier to roast as they are part cooked before frozen.

If I go to a restaurant and I receive boiled vegetables I won’t go there again. Sick freaks.

Good catch, but you know very well I meant that whilst what they’re doing is immoral, it’s not their fault that people refuse to educate themselves and move away from companies that produce products that “make their hardware unusable”. It’s not unusable, throwing it away is on the consumer.

What Microsoft is doing isn’t illegal lmao

I don’t know how men being trash is relevant here. It not hard to learn I don’t understand what everyones problem is. If I know a product is bad and I keep using It, that’s my fault.

It’s not just consumers, a large proportion of the CNC machine industry still runs it’s machine operating system on windows XP for what they claim to be “reliability”. But I call bullshit, they just don’t want to spend more money on software development.

I’m not defending Microsoft here but, the problem in this case isn’t Microsoft, there’s no reason a person can’t educate themselves enough to move away from Windows. If you have access to a PC, you more than likely have access to the internet and there’s no shortage of information online.

Yes what Microsoft is doing is negligent. But the consumer can’t be completely blameless.

Lemmy is also a propaganda machine, let’s ban this platform too then.

Well kinda but not really, he owns around 4% of Reddit which is where the $193m comes from because of the $5b valuation.

Still, fuck spez

;)

Obviously IANAL but I suppose this arguement can be used in UK courts citing the European court

You made me chuckle. But let’s all agree that learning to use git is a ball ache and isn’t very intuitive. Throw repositories into the mix and lay people just aren’t gonna get it. I think using git should be taught in highschool IT classes though, most people will never use it, but it will massively help those who do need to learn it.

The biggest barrier for “most people with moderate skill” is having to acquire equipment to replace the battery. Once it becomes too much effort and cost it’s better for most consumers to take it to the manufacturer or 3rd party service for replacement.

I stopped replacing batteries once I needed to heat the adhesive to remove the back and screen as I don’t have that equipment to hand, and initial attempts caused damage to the screen and back cover.

I don’t care, I was just explaining their comment to you because you didn’t understand.

Reread their post, they didn’t say it was Hollywood’s fault for being successful. It’s Hollywood’s fault for the “AMERICA NUMBER 1” sentiment shown in every movie, aka propaganda.

They do sell good products… Kinda. But they are professional scalpers and scammers. iPhones get their performance nerfed via software after a few years to force you to upgrade. They charge Quadruple price for ram upgrades in their laptops. Now they’re removing, not dropping support, but actively removing a feature that they themselves do not have to develop to stop you installing a feature on a device that you pay for.

Apple do not make superior products, apart from the iPad that’s a genuinely superior product. They sell a walled garden that you have to pay continuous subscriptions to stay in. The subscription in this sense is their app store.

The old wholesale of PCs for 20 buckeroos doesn’t really exist here in the UK so I never considered that

The IPC just isn’t good enough of those chips anymore, making them really inefficient. You’d be better off buying a modern celeron

No one wants LGA1155 anymore anyway so it’s Gucci, my i7-2600 was far past it’s life span 5 years ago
