Good odds Trump would fully deport the entire population.

Too little, too late Biden. You played for Russia for your entire presidency.

You are not alone in this, that movie is a total blank in my head.

The vast majority of consumers don’t care. They look for a product which is in their budget, and they think does what they want.

The market will select for companies which and most profitable.

The best thing to do is to pass laws that make this practice of enshitification illegal.

Exactly. We spent four years playing into their hands, its going to take us decades to recover from that mistake.

Why make money if you can make MORE money?

Honestly, so long as people keep buying their phones they really don’t care about this kind of stuff. Sure, it was a way to drive up margins for a while, but they will just move onto their next bag of tricks to make it hard to leave.

This can be handled a few different ways.

• You can boot from a HDD and then just not ever write data back to it. This would be the most trivial solution, and it’s something people do with their Pi’s a lot to avoid SD card failure.
• You could network boot, pull the OS from the network at startup. Fun fact, this is how some rockets fly! No onboard persistent storage needed. Everything boots into and runs from ram the whole 10 ish minutes of operation.
• You COULD do a ROM as you suggested, but that’s a LOT of ROM. Seems odd to do imho.

I feel like lack of ownership of more and more things in our lives is a sign of problems. Sure, this is just a silly game. But this kind of shit is already hitting cars.

Which is why we need meaningful consumer protections around this. Something with teeth to force publishers to back these sorts of things.

Aye, but forcing them to put a clear “We support this until this date” label will make that a mandated part of their marketed.

That or, you know, force companies to release server software when they sunset support for their product. That would also be nice.

I think he stopped because the show gave us his ending and he knows everyone hates it.

Provided the pressure is maintained from the outside, mine would work fine with a match.

Look for shed like things that connect to taxiways. They aren’t huge and don’t need to be if the aircraft is smol.

They are somewhat common-ish if you know where to look. I fly by one a lot!

Give the rapid churn in their code base these days, I’m gonna press X to doubt that.

What’s the watts-per-search of google?
