This is how all industries work. There is no free market competition in anything. Bakeries collude on bread prices. Chocolatiers collude on candy bar prices. Etc etc. This is what happens when government kneels to business lobbyists instead of regulating business.
I could have named three but I dont give a fuck enough to bother.
Actually that’s incorrect. One is a closed system, and the other is open source and accessible by the entire planet, and not specific to any corporation. You are confusing it with either Samsung or Google. Android works outside of their ecosphere. The only tribalists are the Apple fanbois as it’s the only actual tribe
In the US, this is due to auto makers working around CAFE standards
Boy the Apple fanbois sure are a sensitive bunch
Apple is a religion. Android is pragmatism.
I have a Mac Mini because I like Logic and GarageBand DAWs, but outside of that I dont have anything to do with Apple stuff.
Apple iPhones are awesome if you like being three years behind in tech and paying double the price for that privilege
I am subscribed to Max because I’m a stupid fucking DC nerd as well as a Studio Ghibli weaboo shithead. I am slightly ashamed
And you will pay it.
Cool now do conservatism
Taxpayers, through the university system
That is a fact. 80 years of screaming “FREEDOOOOM!!!” was a goddamn baldfaced lie. Glad the world is seeing it finally.
They don’t do R&D; the university system does and they take the research, often without pay.
We need to learn to go outside at night again.
I hate that every mofo wants to send me a goddamn video from their iPhone and they just do NOT understand that it doesnt work. You cannot make them grasp.
The part I like is when people burn their savings with their car running while waiting in line to fuel up. Costco and Safeway have great gas prices but holy cow their customers are morons
