yeah but remember a few years back when they used all the telemetry data to see what functions people use most and made the ones they don't use bigger?

Serious question: How much of that is due to MacOS and how much of it is "we're actually administering software deployments and locking our poo poo down now"?

it's neither. it's due to apple hardware failing less.

so of course they are switching right as apple makes laptops that fail in a month

drm was a mistake

there's no drm tho. you can download the mp3s and play them on whatever you want. they're just shutting down the servers.

(not that i disagree with the sentiment)

nah, it's like apple music/itunes in that you can just subscribe and that's drmed and once they shut it down there goes your music, but you can also buy music which is drm-free.

i loved the dreamcast but its controller was garbage, and it's ridiculous to claim they couldn't have the wire come out the top even with the vmu ports, considering third party manufacturers managed it just fine

do any oems have a clear policy on what constitutes a hosed battery, like 'if your battery has x% or less of it's original capacity it's eligible for warranty replacement'?

it seems to be an area with a lot of weaseling.

apple does. under 80% in 1 year is eligible for a warranty replacement. it might extend to under 80% for the length of applecare but idk

ms laid off their xbox support team and replaced them with volunteer "ambassadors"

quote:

Xbox Ambassadors also deal with inquiries via an online chat tool, and are rewarded for their efforts via leaderboards, which then dispense XP as well as entries to prize competitions. The program is set up like a game, with “missions” and sweepstakes prizes.
