- Comment on Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us? 10 months ago:
That is a unicorn, my friend. In reality we have the EULA, “Terms and Conditions”, 'Community Guidelines" and you name it! All basically are contracts in which you renounce you rights and happily agree to pay for shit on their terms!

- Comment on VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough 10 months ago:
They 100% do! But the marketing departments always likes to have “solid” arguments at hand.
How else can they organise fairs and conferences where they can lament about how poor the automakers are and how pressure from are pulling prices down so automakers cannot compete… how they have to fire people and move production in poorer countries where people can be treated more like slaves… how profits are so low that they have to use the same jets with the same bitches twice!
- Comment on The Hyperloop was always a scam 10 months ago:
Hyoerloop is not a scam just because The con man proposed it with the intent of stopping a high speed rail road project.
It’s a scam also because:
- the idea is not his. It’s 100 years old and has been tackled by other before him.
- it’s impossible to be build from the technical point of view.
- even if you do manage to miraculously built it it won’t be economically feasible.
- in the lasts years it’s starting to be obvious that if it’s backed by Musk it’s a scam in some degree, shape or form. (see also Solar Cities, Tesla, The Loop and the Boring company, etc.)
- Comment on VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough 11 months ago:
This is actually very good news for car manufacturers.
Touch crap was cheaper but sold a new tech so => price increase
Buttons are old tech so no new investments or tech development but they are more complicated => price increase
- Comment on People not from English-speaking countries, was it possible to watch cartoons in English subbed? 11 months ago:
Well in the 90s in Eater Europe we first had cable TV without subs or dub, just the original track (English, German, Italian, Spanish) so we had to learn the language just watching the shows trying to understand. Then subs started to be common and almost no dub. Then in late 2000s dubing started to be the norm for animations but movies are still subed and nobody likes dubed movies.

Just out of curiosity: whathave they removed from your plan?

How lazy and dependent people are if they can be “blackmailed” by the food delivery service and that service doesn’t fear a significant loos of customers!
- Comment on Too many products are easier to throw away than fix—consumers deserve a 'right to repair' 1 year ago:
Essentially all the products where the following is true:
(cost of parts + cost of repair work) is comparable to the cost of the new product. (that means ≥ or slightly lower)
All those features you would like are great but hurt the profits so you won’t get them, sorry.
- Comment on Too many products are easier to throw away than fix—consumers deserve a 'right to repair' 1 year ago:
This is the whole point: they cannot expand. While there will always be cheap enough products that don’t make economic sense to repair there will always be goods that can be repaired. The limit is set by a complex economic equilibrium and is always moving but first you have to create that possibility.
Right now there is only limited repair possibility not because it’s not feasible economically or there are no providers or customers for the service but because there is an active struggle from the manufacturers to stop this activity for increased sales and profits.
- Comment on Too many products are easier to throw away than fix—consumers deserve a 'right to repair' 1 year ago:
You know there are guys living from repairs, right? They are repairing products that were built on purpose not to be repaired while the manufacturers are actively and intentionally hampering the access to information and parts.

- Comment on Scottish couple facing $33k repair bill after driving Tesla in heavy rain 1 year ago:
“They said it’s not necessarily my fault but it’s not Tesla’s to pay under warranty.”
If it’s not a warranty case and not a misuse case that means it’s designed and it’s supposed to function like that. Imagine an “automotive” grade battery pack with a lower IP rating that the car itself :))))

Unfortunately for work I have to use Windows.
- Comment on Leaks confirm low takeup for Windows 11 1 year ago:
“Windows 11 is simply OK. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it except for its hardware requirements.”
Wtf? It’s just ok? It’s a resource hog, excelling at one thing: spyware implementation.
Have you seen the new Taskbar? It has the functionality of a wooden stick. They even had to make a damn patch to put the “Start Task Manager” option back in the context menu! They fucked up the menus and now everything is just “several hundred clicks away”.
And their constant push for subscription based shit is just annoying lime hell.
