“This never happens with computers.” Smartphones are computers. Creating artificial product categories, taxonomy, is why we’re in this predicament. Semantic woo is leveraged to decide a smartphone is not a general purpose computer such that corporate entity can label it new thing and set new expectations. Intellectual property law and protections need to be thrown in the garbage, no device sold without being unlocked. It’s thought policing when I’m convinced a general purpose computer (smartphone) is something else altogether. We live in a carceral society that’s extracting our agency to coddle a handful of replaceable figureheads. War is peace. Apple is anti-1984.
