How is this remotely like the life changing effect of getting a radio or tv?
- MathCodeLove 5y agoThe point wasn't about how lifetaking the techology is/isn't. The point was that it's new, and therefore expensive.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoThe point wasn't that it was expensive. The author happily paid the expense. They claim to even be happy to suffer the annoyance of downtime and repair even though they didn't abuse the device. Those are the only 2 things an early adopter is obligated to asorb. The point was that it was all 4 together of: expensive, immature, unsupported, and not sold as unsupported. It was sold with a standard warranty like any product, yet in reality they just deny the claim no matter how valid. The expense only means that's why you care, that they take your money which did not break on them a few weeks later, and don't honor their promises.
