    Corporates: Because shits still sold amiright?

    We only have ourselves to blame.

    Microtransactions, subscriptions, non-removeable battery, no headphone jack, no sim slots, $2000 phones, $2000 GPUs,… It’s all us. We keep buying their shits no matter how much they screwed us.

    And who gave people what they wants?

    Fairphone: sustainable phone. -> No one buying.

    Iphone: Sold out.

    AMD GPUs: somewhat the lesser evil. -> No one buying.

    Nvidia: Reach over a Trillion in value.

    Framework laptop: fully repairable, upgradeable. -> No one buying.

    MacBook: Sold out.

    I said “No one buying” is just exaggerated, but you know what I mean.

      It needs to be on regulators. Consumers aren’t good at being informed or wearing hair shirt for long term goals. Little guys struggle competing with giants due to economy of scales.

        Yeah, but then, who voted for those Corporate-minion dinosaurs?

        Again, us.

        The average age of US senator is 65, even higher than the retirement age. Those dinosaurs probably think anything gaming related is a “Pokemon” made by “Nintendo”.

          Old democracies are becoming the norm in the developed world I’m afraid. When it’s our generation that are the old voters, we may be no better.

          Eh. EM bands, regulations, supply chains, and marketing are complicated, is my read on it. Doubly so when you want to do everything sustainably and ethically, and then market that in a famously hyper-consumeristic country.

          I wish they did sell it directly in North America. But I don’t blame them for focusing on the EU where they’re at home.

        My PC is i7-3770 from 2012, my laptop is $100 from craigslist, my phone is 5 years old Xiaomi, my handheld is Nintendo DSlite. Can’t blame me either. :)

        Ps:LG V20 is so neat, I still remember drooling over it when it’s released, I was still a student back then so I can’t afford it 😔

          Yea IMO the V20 was the peak as far as phones go. Everything after that I looked at was stripping things out. It was expensive but I definitely got my money’s worth out of it.
