Android ia the savior at this point, fuck google and apple tho
You do know that Android is a wholly owned subsidiary of Google, right?
I agree with fuck big corporations, but Android isn’t a savior, it’s basically the only open source option for now. Google is shoving their AI into it, and you can only use the most secure version of Android, GrapheneOS, by buying a Pixel, a phone made by Google.
The better goal is for other open source OS’s to become more mainstream and have the capabilities of Android or iPhone.

This happened to me, just with a shattered screen instead of an old battery. Fucker tried to tell me my phone was bricked. I turned it on in front of the cunt and left.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I couldn't get a 5 € USB port exchanged on warranty because of a small tear in the screen. Because those fuckers glued the screen on. I wish I had had the energy and time to sue them for warranty. Not my problem if they make their shit harder to repair.
Edit: Was for Nokia, not Apple.

Buy fairphone!
Fairphones suck though, if you want to fix your problems. Got a Fairphone 3 after my Nokia couldn't be repaired. I got it explicitly to have a phone that can be repaired more easily. But you know what? The fucker refuses to break!

I live in South Korea. Pretty much anywhere you go there's going to be a Samsung center. Tolerable(albeit not ideal) price, at least compared to Apple, fast(got my mobo fixed in <1h), super nice people.
I know they're far from perfect and I'd use Pixels in a heartbeat once Google decides to sell them in South Korea but Samsung in South Korea at least, pretty impressive. If only they weren't fucking us with higher prices compared to other countries and shitty Exynos chips...

I stopped reading when it said “$2000 paperweights”. You can dislike Apple for any number of reasons, but this doesn’t make sense. Its products work just fine and they run the software that’s on them.

I haven't had any such run-ins yet. When I asked them to replace my iPad's batteries, they said that they couldn't do it, but gave me a new iPad of the same model for CHF 100.- (which would have been the price of the battery replacement).

It becomes a paperweight once you install the software updates.

No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

"Functional machine" is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as "functional"

So, I've got Samsung appliances that I deeply hate. I didn't purchase them on purpose, they were in the house when we bought it.
If there is a power outage or brown out the control hangs on the fridge and it stops cooling. It has to be reset. To reset, you have to press two touch screen buttons. You have to hit it just right, the press has to be closely synchronized and then hold for 10sec, my girl is unable to get it.
The Samsung oven is currently sitting in the yard in a junk pile to be disposed of. Replaced that hunk of shit with a 1970s GE mechanically controlled stove. Had to replace the indicator lights and the timer unit due to age. Cooks better than the Samsung ever did.
House also came with a Samsung washer and dryer, I'm just waiting for them to do some stupid shit.
I did buy a Samsung TV, it's decent but I am fighting a low-level enshittification war on all the ads and shit it keeps installing. It has particular features that means I don't completely lobotomize it and keep some of the smart TV stuff.
I guess what I'm saying is that Samsung can suck my fucking balls.

We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think they’re overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.
