And what’s the alternative? You learn to maintain your own equipment and take operation of your powerful and dangerous tools into your own hands, like you do when operating it? You find a local mechanic, like you would with a car, plane, or boat? You keep using the same equipment without paying the manufacturer more until it deteriorates too much to repair?
That’s insane. There’s not even a subscription involved, it’s deranged. Forget your rice, the shareholders need bigger made up numbers!
you guys keep coming up with new names to explain the effects and natural progression of capitalism. its just regular ol capitalism as its always been.
It’s the legacy that stinky piece of shit Steve Jobs left behind. That, skirting foreign labor laws, treating your own child like shit and stabbing your friends in the back.
Agreed. But other companies like Samsung and Google that dunked on Apple for their shitty practices, then completely adopt them a few generations later are fucking pathetic.
I bought a brother printer model J1010DW because it’s brother, right? Also it was the cheapest brother printer in stock locally around the time I was sick & tired of detouring to the print shop.
The color cartridges still have tons of ink swashing in them, but the printer won’t even print in b&w because it detects the other cartridges as empty. So I try the tape-over-the-ink-window method, and my printer says, HMM, I GUESS THERE’S INK NOW, BUT THESE MUST NOT BE BROTHER PRINTER CARTRIDGES, HURR DURR, and makes itself an overweight scanner.

Yep, according to the article, they have a strong enough
lobbybribe machine to win exemption.I feel like printers started it. Everyone I had used to setup came with some insane cable. Not to mention the actual cartridge

Capitalism != Unbridled_capitalism;

Any …ism devolves if unchecked.
Yeah well let’s start checking it real quick
In any single moment, that’s true, but over time they inevitably become one and the same.
Everything, over time, becomes entropy.
Sure, but stars don’t decay before our eyes.

There are others. Apple wasn’t the first, nor the last, but they were the most notorious for sure.
