At no point was I insinuating that the justice system isn't flawed. It's heavily flawed, for all to see. The alternative however, is unjustifiable. Mob law is worse than no law.

They will once they catch you doing it, yes. The people who this _won't_ stop however, are criminals.

Sure, we'll all just go ahead and build the third walled garden with all the billions we have lying around. This "just don't buy Apple then" argument is disingenuous and I'm tired of hearing it. Apple et al. want th

Apple are free to do that, and so should other manufactures. There is no reason, technical or otherwise, that the APIs used for Airpods should be exclusive.

Now I'm even more confused! You linked to the same e-mail exchange, but on the archive.org, or did I miss something? When you say OP, you mean on here, and so neither Bider nor the "journalist"?

I went and read the e-mail thread and had to check back to your comment twice, because I thought my tired mind was mixing things up. You're suggesting _Bider_ is the obnoxious one?!

Yes, in all likelihood the same factories. Which still make your choices a battery that needs replacing but can't be without voiding your warranty, or a battery that needs replacing that you can swap out easily. Am I missing something?
