  How do you leave when your friends, family and coworkers are all on iMessage and refuse to use anything cross platform? This literally affects people’s professional relationships and close personal connections.

  No my friend, Apple has perfected lock-in and turned it into an art. Just because it doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean it’s not an issue.

  Their entire business model has been to focus on systems that lock people in and exclude people who are out. None of this is done for security or as a means for the best possible customer experience. It’s done for the sole purpose of forcing income they couldn’t achieve with innovation alone. I’ve heard so many tech reviewers and even my own personal friends who say they would love to switch if only to try something else. They say they’d switch today if their friends, family and coworkers wouldn’t get mad at them. Apples only real innovation over the past ten years has been built in social pressure.

  If you’ve ever read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy then you’d already know these bastards are just gonna peace out when things get real. So long and thanks for all the fish they’ll say as they abandon us to our untimely demise.

  “C” is for Cookie

  Think of any invasive streaming devices in your house. Samsung, Google Chromecast, ATV, LG etc. Roku is by far the worst.

  I’m sure big tech is stoked on this idea. I mean, they were always able to figure out who most people were but now people have to straight up enter their identification and positively confirm.

  I’m sure no one will use that information for nefarious reasons, right?

  Windows and Mac OS are both closed source but both allow apps outside an app store. No issue with the code base there.

  Internet connected front facing stereo cameras running on closed source software and little to no oversight? No thank you. The enshitification of tech demands more user data and I don’t need more Spyware in my home.

  Make a high quality display panel with no OS except to run basic settings and I’ll pay a premium.
