Then stop claiming over and over again that because the software industry has shifted more and more towards the subscription model, that this applies to hardware, too. There is a real cost to every unit made for hardware. Software can be replicated for costs so low that we can consider it free. Refusing to acknowledge this fact, and the ramifications it has on leasing/rental, is either intellectual dishonesty or just plain stupidity. |

The bs that people read and believe. 😂 Wake up. This is baseless speculation and RUMOUR. HELLO? |

Tooki, it's clear that you didn't grasp the point I was trying to make, whether that's because your are fixated on your point of view or because I didn't explain it well enough. A reasonable person would ask for a better explanation. Instead, Tooki, you metaphorically stuck your fingers in your ears and created this "hardware same as software" strawman which you attributed falsely to me[1]. Then used that as the basis for an ad hominem attack. So, I politely ask you once again to withdraw the slur, the false accusation, which is entirely based on something you've made up. --- [1] I have NOT said that hardware is the same as software. Where I have referenced software it has been to illustrate attitudes to the subscription model, that's all. |

Maybe you don't recall my previous response to your diatribe last night, but this bit you agreed with (until you withdrew your posts): --- Quote ---Never had a 'what if' opinion piece cause you to think about something you hadn't considered previously? We know that Apple hasn't announced this, but the question is: could they, or even might they? Well, we know your answer so there's no reason for you to stick around and you can leave it to the rest of us to do whatever the hell we like, thanks. --- End quote --- |

Normally I expect, yes or no but I have seen "accepting them" in there and sometimes "don't know" but then I expect the facts to be explained clearly before making a yes or no. --- End quote --- I've read that about seven times now, and I still don't know what you're trying to say. Perhaps a rephrase is in order? |
