- EricE 6y agoThen don’t buy it? It’s not like Apple is the only vendor. Kind of hard to have diversity/options if everyone keeps insisting all vendors do everything the same way.
- Karunamon 6y agoI can buy what I want and also do what I want to what I purcwhased.
- wltprgm 6y agoPeople can use their mouths to say at least the fact of flaws the product and services you purchased which acts as an advice to not purchase them The downvote button on Hacker News doesn't work like a dislike button by the way
- stale2002 6y agoOr instead of that, people can engage in the entirely legal act of both purchasing it, and the entirely legal act of hacking it. Customers have a legal right to do basically anything they want with something that they own.
