    When I was in middle school, I had my ipod's screen repaired by an independent company. It locked me out for 39 years. I lost all of my photos- it was the most depressing thing to a 6th grader. I blamed the independent for the longest time. Now I know it was Apple.

    These License Agreements are ridiculous, why give an option to agree and disagree, if only one of the option allow you to use the device.

Heck, my iPad 2 worked fine for over 5 years, but ran into issues about 2 years ago because it couldn’t run newer versions of iOS.

      If you mostly print black and white douments, get a black and white laser for about $100-200. Toner has a much lower cost per page, and unlike ink it doesn't dry up when you don't use it. You spend a little more on the printer itself, but you save money on the cost of consumables. I've bought third party toner high yied cartridges for about $8 and they last me years.
      For the rare occasions that you need to print something in color, do it at a store.

    1:45 it goes even further than that, if you take 2 fully functional iPhones that are identical and swap certain parts of them they will both lock you out and not allow you to use them. The chip that checks for this is called the T-2 chip and the device won't function without it. It was made exclusively for this purpose but Apple added functionality that is crucial for the phone to work in it so that you can't remove it. The T-2 chip is also in some iPads and I think MacBooks, and either way it's becoming their standard.

    This is a legitimate issue that has been plaguing the tech industry for years, even when it comes to Android, HTC was the only one that allowed you to root your phone, though you did still give up your warranty. The majority of tech companies like Nintendo, Xbox, and some others will also void warranties if you have third parties make any changes, some changes will result in a ban on the system itself. Cheating is understandable, but it's not always for cheating, and I think that it should be banned from the specific game rather than the entire network. I worked for AT&T, Xbox, Paypal, and have been doing computer repair for 12 years.

    This is why I still buy games disc & Cartridges, music CDs, + Vinyls, Blu-ray movies and other forms of physical media. I can always access it when I want to that way. No issue when my net is down or Neflix. It also helps keep the pre-owned market going for Games & Movies!
    If it's ONLY a digital market... there will no such thing as second-hand.. which is what companies want and they will be able to dictate the prices they want with no pre-owned (or physical media) as competition.
    Companies spend a lot of money to market it to us that Digital movies & games are "better" but all it does for them is increase profits.
    I'm going to be quite sad when companies like Steam, PS Store, Xbox Live have no physical competition... no lending a game to a friend to try, no picking up a cool pre-owned game for cheap on the way home from work, No finding a rare game... if a company pulls a game from the digital Store (eg Silent Hill PT).. it's simply gone (only a lucky few have it tied to their PS account and only one that PS console!)
    Apple, Google & Amazon (digital) Stores Don't have the same quality as physical media, you can not sell your old movies or buy pre-owned ones either... you will be stuck paying what ever those companies want, with greedy share holders over time that will just get more & more expensive as those big 3 eat up the smaller competition & physical media.
    I'm not really against digital per-se, I more recently have jumped on Netflix to get shows that I can NOT watch anywhere else, I am just really against greedy companies bending the consumer to their will. I know their are benefits to digital only... but would it not be better if we didn't loose things we already have?
    If a brand new car came out... it get 200mils per gallon of fuel (50km per litre roughly), it could seat 5 people but it only had one tiny kid size door at the back, so small that plus sized people could not fit through and you HAVE to get the vehicle serviced that that car makes work shop.... oh wait, they are already doing the later on e...
    Only thing the common person can do is Vote with your wallet - companies want you to buy on impulse & hate the smart educated shoppers.
    Australia only has 1 dedicated Movie & Music shop company left (Sanity.com.au) and it's major competition (JB HiFi) which also does TV's, Steroes and such.. the times are chaging and not for the better, not like this. If we are going Digital - we need to preserve the right to sell our purchases, choose the price we wish to sell it for & not have companies take a cut from that
    TL:DR - Amazon,Apple &Steam are down right evil... Google & Disney are also bad, but not evil... not yet at least..

    The fight for repairing our devices kinda reminds me of DreamWorks' Robots, where the main corporate villain wanted to sell the robots to get expensive upgrades, that very few of the robot characters could afford, instead of repairing them with spare parts. It's definitely a bad sign when companies are acting like the corporate villains from movies/shows that they helped fund to be made... 0_0

I’m aware that in theory my games in Steam, etc. could be gone if they ever shut down. But that’s not really a concern, I don’t gain anything from paying extra to have the DVD sitting around for the offchance of wanting to play the game, after the digital Plattform shut down. I pay to play the game, not to have it sitting around collecting dust. Now, this could be different for other people and that’s fine. But don’t think whoever goes „all digital“ doesn’t know what means.

Some nice trash code running in ring-0 to give you that authentic blue screen feeling!

      Situational irony requires that reality contradicts expectations. Confiscating 1984 would only fall in that category if we expected a book about confiscating books to not be confiscated.
      Still, the parallelism is too strong to simply call an analogy. It’s a bit of a gray area, if you ask me. I think there’s less harm done by calling it ironic.

      Planned obsolescence has pros and cons. But it is arguably mostly cons for consumers.
      One pro that isn't only applicable to either consumers or companies, is how products often become more efficient. Washing machines before, could be repaired and run for decades, now they last perhaps 5 years or so? But a newer washing machine is usually always more efficient than an older ones, either by using less electricity and/or water. But that positive is invalid if replacing the machine on average occurs before it has succeeded to significantly outweigh the negatives as a whole (like waste, energy for making and recycling it, transport etc)!
      But again, planned obsolescence isn't needed for people to use more efficient products!
      You touch other topics as well, but many of them pertain to Planned obsolescence right?
