Not always true, I bought a smart talk phone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It’s still carrier locked 5 years later because they say “it wasn’t in service for x amount of time and therefore isn’t eligible”. I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

They’re probably still bolting the loose panels back on.

Would you want to ride in that Boeing rattletrap? I wouldn’t.

Replacing all your tools and machines is super easy, though. /s

The movie is “Don’t Look Up” for those who aren’t aware. It’s excellent. Watch it.

Fixed battery and removal of headphone jack and SD card slots were 1000% anti-consumer practices designed to cost you more money and make your device lifespan as short as possible. I don’t see the battery problem going away - why enable your phone to last twice or three times as long when they can just force you to have to buy a new device when the battery is shot? At least we got our card slots and jacks back (mostly).

I am also salty that phones USED to have IR blasters and they don’t anymore. IR LEDs cost next to nothing, another feature that was amazing but thrown away to save 5c per unit.

Which is also a type of cannabis concentrate, lol
