      That’s the first one that came to mind. They started every shitty trend in the industry

          Nah, fuck those mother fuckers. As a former farmer myself, I can tell you that fixing my own shit was an almost life or death situation. I can’t just leave my crops without my machines more than a day. Shit needs to work right away. I used to grow rice and it needed constant flow of cold river water for 6 months straight up. I had two diesel water pumps on the river, one is running 24/7 and the other is back up in case the other broke. If that shit broke and I waited for a day or two without giving the rice cold water, it all dies. Completely dies

          Yep, according to the article, they have a strong enough lobby bribe machine to win exemption.

        I feel like printers started it. Everyone I had used to setup came with some insane cable. Not to mention the actual cartridge

          Sounds about right. Man, I really miss the days where shit was so easy to replace. Wtf, capitalism needs to chill a little.

        It’s the legacy that stinky piece of shit Steve Jobs left behind. That, skirting foreign labor laws, treating your own child like shit and stabbing your friends in the back.
