  • They 100% do! But the marketing departments always likes to have “solid” arguments at hand.

    How else can they organise fairs and conferences where they can lament about how poor the automakers are and how pressure from are pulling prices down so automakers cannot compete… how they have to fire people and move production in poorer countries where people can be treated more like slaves… how profits are so low that they have to use the same jets with the same bitches twice!







  • This is the whole point: they cannot expand. While there will always be cheap enough products that don’t make economic sense to repair there will always be goods that can be repaired. The limit is set by a complex economic equilibrium and is always moving but first you have to create that possibility.

    Right now there is only limited repair possibility not because it’s not feasible economically or there are no providers or customers for the service but because there is an active struggle from the manufacturers to stop this activity for increased sales and profits.

    “Windows 11 is simply OK. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it except for its hardware requirements.”

    Wtf? It’s just ok? It’s a resource hog, excelling at one thing: spyware implementation.

    Have you seen the new Taskbar? It has the functionality of a wooden stick. They even had to make a damn patch to put the “Start Task Manager” option back in the context menu! They fucked up the menus and now everything is just “several hundred clicks away”.

    And their constant push for subscription based shit is just annoying like hell.
