That’s just the way the world is moving with these greedy ass corps :yeshrug:

Car, electronics, and especially in my field ( commercial HVACR ). Manufacturers are starting to put shyt in that you can only repair with proprietary software that they sale for thousands. Carrier ( the biggest hvac manufacturer here ) even started selling a fukking laptop connection cable for their units for like 2 grand :mjlol:

and once one company gets away with the shyt all the others follow that same blueprint...

Car companies been doing that. Like a generic computer can read most car computers, but some cars require a proprietary device or software that ain't cheap.

The fukking John Deere tractors had some kind of DRM shyt on them making it impossible to repair unless you took it to them lol farmers were mad as hell.

my mom got a fridge with a water filter that does the same bullshyt. Can’t even replace it with a generic filter or it gives error codes.

I remember the days when all I had to be mad about was the printer companies fukking you over when all you wanted to do was print out a black and white document but they wouldn’t work if one of the other colors was out.

Exactly...

I know it’s trendy to shyt on Apple, and fukk em since they aren’t paying me shyt but theyre not setting any type of precedent here that already hasn’t been set and trending upwards in all other industries.

This is the way the world is moving so consumers for whatever product will only be able to go through that manufacturer for service and parts.

Going back to carrier, as an example, they sell the actual chillers, rtus, ahus etc... for dirt cheap and up charge the hell out of their parts because they know you’re gonna need them at some point and you have to go thru them...

I know this...I was just using this as an example and like I just stated, these types of business practices will become the norm in all industries at some point so get used to it....
