Its less of a belief and more of a fact at this point.

Its still really sad either which way

That's why I support the "right to repair"

Sadly a lot of devices are losing that ability by design

The Tall Man from Phantasm scared the shit out of me

I still have a nightmare once a decade about him chasing me screaming "BOY!"

My number one reason: battery life

I guess they just had to sweeden the deal

I run a digital currency investment group.

I can make 10-15k per day, so it's not a lot in the grand scheme of things

For the companies who want a huge advantage over others, $100 is nothing in an advertising budget.

I have a small business and I do $1000 a week in advertising.

Windows 11 is my newest "main" computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.

Though my "working" IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

I don't see that it's a big deal, really. It's the same as it ever was.

Yeah, but it's easier and more reliable in some cases.

For example, every three months I have to go through a renewal process to get my diabetes medicine with my insurance. That's up to a week without my life saving medicine.

If I were to get it on the darknet, I'd add years to my life since I don't have to wait weeks to get the proper medicine.

That's not true. There's a difference between addiction and dependence medically.

You don't say that a person on insulin is an addict. You don't say that a person on heart medicine is an addict. We shouldn't say that a person on opiates are addicts.

Addicts take the medicine without a medical need. Dependent people need to take the medicine in order to live a normal life.

A lot of people are turning to the dark web to get just basic medicine because it's such a headache to get the medicine that they need. It's WAY cheaper too.

It's sad that people have to resort to that, but it's better than suffering.
