It reminds me of that one now-infamous tweet about how an NFT of a diamond is more valuable than an actual diamond since a diamond can be destroyed.

Not to mention that the product you get from dedicated merchants will invariably be better. The worst bakery in my city is leagues better than the best bread available at Wal Mart

Remember the ultra-cheap Windows XP machines that came loaded with weird bloatware? That's what a stock install of contemporary Windows feels like. I think Microsoft is doing so many things right, but the direction Windows is taking is

What is obsolete about Mac software? It seems like much of Windows' evolution since 7 is just ads and janky telemetry features which nobody wants.

Today's macs are better than ever, and Windows keeps getting worse.

I think that you could genuinely make that argument though.

There’s a difference between saying “theft is ok” and “this is an unethical means of preventing theft”

This isn't conflicting, it's just shit. This has no place in a free society, and I have zero time for any arguments to the contrary. Technology has all the promise in the world to improve and enrich our lives, but instead it'

If nostalgia is as powerful as you say, why are new sonic games so unpopular? Also, I loved BOTW, but I never played any Zelda games as a kid.

But OOT was a AAA title already, and there were already several wildly successful Zelda games before OOT too. There's so many reasons why Zelda is, if anything, a counterexample to this phenomenon.

BOTW and TOTK are two of the highest rated games of all time. If you want to persuade people of your case, you would do well not to use a hot take as your example.

> The F-91W battery is rated for 10 years What would you consider the average life of an Apple Watch? If it's 5 years, OP is right.

I don't think any serious people in the world are considering the idea that the US would balance their reserves against cryptocurrency.

Most planes have power at the seats though, I don't think it'd be too hard to wear this on a plane.

I don't like this argument. As if an indie shoemaker should be grateful to have the privilege to get in a bidding war against Nike for who can give Facebook more money to get noticed.

Even beyond that though, it needs to be enough to make them actually care.

This is an important perspective. Surveillance capitalism is so often justified with "as long as they don't misuse the data". No, fuck that. The data should not have been collected in the first place.

There's lots of bottom feeders who love separating poorer people from their money. Gambling companies, payday loans, pyramid schemes, etc...
