Just do what we do in Canada. Send them threatening letters. It scares 90% of parents into telling their kids to knock that shit off, but they’re toothless and can’t actually do anything, and the remaining 10% still pirate away. Everyone’s happy.

I saw bats. Like that guy from bat country. Hunter Gatherer.
I’m convinced the whole “your computer will instantly turn into a botnet that cripples children’s hospitals the moment you disable Windows Update” thing is part of Microsoft’s internet propaganda.
Like there are sysadmins for pretty big industries that schedule updates, sometimes once a month or even less frequently. Why aren’t they worried about all the 0-day remote code execution exploits that supposedly exist every single day?
Why doesn’t China, North Korea’s biggest trading partner, pressure them to be less authoritarian?
They’re definitely among the worst.

I’m really tired of people saying “both sides are the same” when it comes to western capitalist exploitation vs eastern totalitarian authoritarianism.
It’s ironically so privileged to even make the comparison because if it were the same, you wouldn’t have been allowed to make this comment.

The execs in question were caught selling hookers to Qaddafi’s son.
All my old devices became unusable due to the flash memory chip degrading. Unless they can run off SD card?
The “english” setting does nothing.
Sweet I’m already using PostgreSQL because it’s the only thing Blynk supported!
Tiny plastic part that holds the handle to my fridge broke. Need a new 50 cent plastic part.
GE wants $200 to replace all 3 metal handle assemblies. Can’t just get the plastic part, it comes in a bundle with all 3 metal handles. Which would immediately go in the garbage.
If we can’t get them on the “intentionally gouging customers” angle, we can surely get them on the “creating excess waste” angle.
Wow there are way fewer “so what it’s the same as your smartphone” and “everyone does it, google, apple, it’s no big deal” comments on Lemmy.
Yeah but then you can’t run Xbox Games Pass or anything fun like that.
