  Y’know I hadn’t considered this pov.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh sorta but not really? Google released firmware to let you convert it to a regular Bluetooth controller, and although it was for a limited time, it’s still available on GitHub.

  It was just made a punishment. Y’know, for being poor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eight years later, new but familiar-looking PebbleOS watches appear⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I might seriously grab one of these to replace my Fitbit. I just want something simple to display notifications and let me monitor my heart rate and this looks to be right up my alley. Plus that battery life dwarfs anything else on the market, even if the one with the HR only gets a few weeks, that’ll crush anything available.

  Plus it’s open source? Let’s goooo.

  It’s like Gabe said (paraphrased): “Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.”

  Make it easy to buy stuff and people will. But the more barriers you put up, the more people will pirate. Granted, there are persons like you (and I counted among those at one point) who cannot afford things from time-to-time, but we’re a minority. Every game I’ve ever pirated from those days I have made sure to purchase once I was able to.

  Make it available for easy purchase and people will buy it.

  Yeah I was still using a CRT as recently as 2012. I think OP means analogue TVs.
