  Yup, that’s the way it’s going. There won’t be enough take up so they’ll start putting features ("oh, you want golf, that’ll be the $3.99/month golf subscription) and data like personal bests behind the paywall

  This thought comes to me alot: my mum passed relatively early and my grandfather shortly after that.

  I’d not want either to have had to experience what this world has become

  Ah thanks, and apologies as I could have just ecosia’ed that ;)

  I recall an app called endomondo doing similar. I’d bought the Pro version for lifetime only to find them move to a Premium option.

  That was fine as I still had what I had paid for… until take up wasn’t good enough and slowly key features moved behind the paywall.

  Im fairly certain this is the direction this is going. I wonder if there’ll be a class action if so to force buy back of the hardware

  This was in my mind but I don’t spend money easily so intend to replace it when it breaks.

  I’ll need to reassess if the US invades

  Sorry, what does that achieve please?

  How is that not true anymore? Here in the UK home ownership is increasingly a dream for the younger people so guess what - you’re 100% reliant on work/pay to make rent

  Oh, and the basic - don’t carry your cell phone/smart watch regardless of whether it’s switched off

  I’m genuinely so excited to have actually encountered one in the wild. That is, someone that is trying to claim that Elon didn’t sieg heil multiple times. Fascinating, they said people would but I just didn’t believe them
