      I live in Europe, and our country requires every seller to give a 2-year unconditional warranty on everything, so we don't pay for AppleCare and if anything goes wrong in the first 2 years they have to fix or replace for free. And they do. I've had to use their repair service a couple of times. Apple charges a lot for AppleCare in the US and elsewhere. I'm glad we don't have to pay extra for it.

      As an Apple product person. The reason we buy Apple products is because they are the best for OUR type of use. Steve Jobs was the leading cause of the Apple closed system. We pay at least 200% more for an Apple product. As far as the battery and memory, it would be nice to be able to change. But not open up the system to allow product degrading.

      One of the reasons I ditched Apple. They don't sell OEM parts direct to consumer or to independent repair, but you can get perfectly good iFixit batteries, and that has worked for me.
      Now, Apple is closing even this door by having a code lock mechanism that will prevent the phone from working with an unauthorized replacement.
      If you think about it, they have no incentive to allow independent repair or to allow people to extend the life of their phones. All that does is cut into their revenue stream of new phone sales.

      home purchases doubled, for example a $220, 000 home before the pandemic in year 2020 went up to $410, 000. Most of the price increase is contributed by Monopoly Landgrabbers Investment companies, which now own 80% of the housing market, which is why you find most of the housing in the U.S. is Apartment Rental market instead of home ownership. Most of the middle class can't afford to buy a home, so they rent. This forces the average citizen into a slave society, because without a home which is the primary source of survival for shelter, next is food, you're never guaranteed a place to live. Apartments are owned by someone else. The pandemic was just a lame excuse to price gouge on the consumer market, along with food. Hopefully, antitrust laws will catchup with the housing market as well

      Dude, not the same at all. This is serious shit.
      Using your example,
      This would be the equivalent of Nintendo highjacking your TV and sabotaging the quailty and proformance of any other system that gets plugged it to it. Game crashing bugs etc..unless they gave Nintendo a cut of thier profits.
      Also intintially slowing down your internet on any other device but your Nintendo, so you think Nintendo is better.
