More cost upfront, but as we’ve seen time and time against companies will start charging subscriptions for thing they previously didn’t.

Then there’d the privacy benefits. Not needing to rely on some company to keep servers alive. Being able to more easily troubleshoot/upgrade/swap individual parts. Not having to use a different app for basically every single device. All that sort of stuff

Yeah there’s plenty of reasons to hate Apple’s anti-consumer repair/third party repair policies. We don’t need to be inventing fake ones too.

Exactly. I am unbelievably pissed off and angry at what’s going on around me.

But why the fuck would I try to make it worse. That doesn’t help anyone, least of all myself. A little bit of kindness can go a long way, both for those around you and yourself.

isn’t just a scammy luxury company

Lol

How much of a dickrider to you have to be to not understand that that’s still incredibly stupid.

My mouse also gets ~5 days of (heavy) use from about 10 minutes of charging. Warnings or not, the fact that it’s even a possibility is just shit design.

I prefer to use my mouse wireless, but it sure would be a pain in the ass if I had to just completely stop using my computer when the battery died.

Airpods have good ANC, but they’re not magically better than things on the market. My 3 year old Sennheiser Momentum TW2s have better ANC, and cost $250 less.

Or they’re like multiple people in my family that will get a phone, use it for 5-6 years, and this just happens to be when they’re deciding to upgrade.

Not everyone is glued to their phone 24/7

Do you think a majority of us in the 3d printing community use CAD at work or something?
