    Glad to see someone else mention this. I feel crazy enjoying the hell out of using what is basically “linux + commercial software” while everyone else is just like “Apple bad, too expensive.” Meanwhile my apple laptop and phone were both cheaper than the competition… never let that get in the way of a good narrative, I guess.

      That’s exactly what it is.

      Planned obsolescence, but my iPhone 11 from 2019 still receives updates. Do any android devices from then still get new Android?

      None of my cords that did the fraying ever frayed, I had one friend who’s cord frayed. But it was all over the internet.

      It’s called othering when we make shit up about people to categorize them as worse, but since tech isn’t people our baser instincts are fine.
