Coming up next year - your macbook might run twice as fast if you pay additional 100$ per month.
In my opinion such behaviour should be treated as a direct consumer rights' violation, under accusation of malicious intentional degradation of product sold to customer. When hardware (engine/cpu) is created it has its by-design limits and there is no possibility to increase those limits by software, i.e. this is not increasing, but decreasing the capabilities to extort additional premium
- jeffnappi 4y agoPerhaps it makes sense to pay extra to be able to put extra strain on something (laptop, car, xyz) while it's covered under a manufacturer warranty, however after such a warranty period ends any such feature should be unlocked.
- alistairSH 4y agoThat extra cost should be a one-time fee assessed when the feature is unlocked (with any extra costs borne by the manufacturer/vendor baked into that pricing). Not a subscription that lives on for the duration of the device.
