What about the day a child is not as successful as you - and cant afford to buy Apple when it breaks. So you would like him/her to buy $700 replacement motherboard or would you have preferred to get the SSD replaced. (And assume it was not your child - all is OK but if it was your child?)
You can write "f off" with money. But Apple is indeed > 50% market share(iPhones, lockin). Of course, you need not care because you have money.
You dont own car. How does it matter here? People are only criticising Apple. Not you.
> though I don't know what ultimately happens to that stuff
A quick google would tell you. So much is crushed.
You need to understand the difference between someone trying to explain reality, as they understand it, and someone telling you or a hypothetical future child what to do. If I tell you that cars pollute the air and Apple makes their products hard to repair for manufacturing reasons, you can counter with different facts. But you can't blame me for the realities when I explain them to you.
I don't have a preference about motherboards or SSDs and how much they might cost an imaginary child "not as successful" as me. That has nothing to do with explaining why I think Apple makes their products the way they do. Nor does me explaining why I think Apple does that make me responsible for or complicit in the ethics as you or anyone else might perceive them.
I have paid for numerous computer and phone replacements and repairs for my own children, if that matters. I also volunteered for years at a non-profit that recycles used electronics and gives them to less fortunate people for free. Worthwhile but not something that scales to millions or billions of devices.
You brought up oil companies and cars. Not a great analogy as I pointed out but no one has to buy a car, like no one has to buy an unrepairable Macbook. Choices have consequences. Blaming the generations ahead of you won't do you any good.
Wait. make a photo of QR code and send it to your spouse. Put it on her Google photos or facebook (make it private). Very unlikely both of you lose phones on the same day.
I love Apollo, but it's not a complete answer. If you attempt to visit an 18+ reddit on mobile, it will redirect you to either HOME or Reddit's official client. Not the "iOS App you've selected for Reddit", the official Reddit App.
> Don't blame Citrix. Blame the bastard in the head office that doesn't give a f%@$ about anyone not him.
> The guy (and it is a guy) signing the cheques either doesn't use Citrix OR uses it from the head office with the 10 Gbps link.
If you were sure about this you could have as the consultant told this sentence or made this entire comment as your 'first page' of powerpoint/PDF (to make sure other hn-ers are happy!)
